Tata's Hexa concept premieres at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show

Tata Motors has showcased the Aria-based Hexa SUV concept for the very first time at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. This will be one of the new crossovers and SUVs that the company has in its pipeline.

The Hexa is a new SUV concept measuring 4,764mm in length, 1,895mm in length and 1,780mm in height. The vehicle has a long wheelbase of 2,850mm. The car's fascia boasts of newly designed projector headlamps, a honeycomb grille and new bumper with fog lamps. The horizontal chrome slat under the grille extends towards the headlamps and the honeycomb pattern can also be seen on the front chin.

Coming to the sides, the newly designed 19-inch alloy wheels can be seen. Though the overall design is similar to the Aria, the concept gets a sporty design language which is continued at the rear section as well. The rear bumper, with dual exhaust tips, gets a dual-tone paint scheme with a new shape for the reflectors. The tail lamps are restyled and come with LED units. A new spoiler can also be seen at the back.

The changes inside the cabin also differentiate the new concept from the Aria presently sold. The Hexa concept gets a six-seat configuration with captain seats that are adorned in good quality leather. These seats come with twin-needle stitching and some other new features that up the luxury quotient of the car. The interior also features LED illumination for ambient mood lighting. On the safety front there are six airbags including side and curtain.

The Hexa concept features a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder, VARICOR diesel mill that churns out 154bhp of power and 400Nm of torque. The powerplant comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission and is available with a 4WD option.

Tata's Hexa concept previews the brand’s future design direction which was under wraps until now. The premiere of the vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show has given out all the details of the vehicle that might go into production in early 2016 along with the upcoming Nexon.
