On sale this January

Tata Motors may be buying Land Rover sooner than you would think, but that has not stopped them from developing their own SUV. The Tata Sumo Grande will be available in showrooms starting this January.

The Tata Sumo Grande is built with a longer wheelbase than is usual for Tata, namely 2550 mm in comparison to the current 2400mm. The SUV features three rows of seats and is powered by the new generation 2.2 liter direct injection common rail (DICOR) engine, fitted with a variable geometry turbocharger.

Even though the Sumo Grande has been awaited by many people, the real news from Tata will come tomorrow when they will unveil the highly anticipated 'People's Car' at the Auto Expo.

every corner looks terrifying! Let's hope they don't have any input with Jaguar, but if they make over Land Rover's interiors we might get rid of England's Hummer.

You guys are absolutely right, the SUV is cheap! boxy and does'nt come to anything sold in the U.S ... but then again do you guys know how much it costs? 17,000 US dollars. Seating for 7 4x4 for 17k ... you cant ask for much can you, basically a reliable box on 4 wheels :P

Anyways Tata wont touch land rover, all they will do is inject all the money it will take to make land rover a success and take alot of valuable knowledge.
