It seems that the Sumo has been around for ages and has been given a few face lifts and touch-ups. It has seen the growth of the cab culture, the call-centre revolution, Qualis invasion and many other people-movers alike. It still is in production. It isn’t known for its good looks and Tata too has realised that. It is a rugged people-mover. If you want a good-looking version, try the Grande.
There were few changes made to the Sumo and nothing drastic that created a stir. Overall, it still looks boxy with a sturdy build. Right now the Spacio and the Victa platforms that are on offer differ only in terms of load-carrying capacity and the grille whereas the other changes cannot be viewed with the naked eye. The Spacio is a 10-seater, and has a 3.0l engine that churns out 68bhp at 2800rpm whereas the Victa with its many variants has a 2.0l engine pumping out 90bhp at 2800rpm. Both run on diesel.
The ride quality is good and so is the handling but the considerable amount of body roll limits the handling. The stability and poise at high speeds is excellent. The interior space has been the strongest quality in the Sumo since its inception. The interiors have been revamped and standards have been upped a notch to match up with the interiors. The mileage figures are 10kpl on average.
