Middle East Tata Xenon – What does it get?
Tata Xenon was launched in India in February 2009 as a cross-terrain, lifestyle pickup. The Xenon combined stylish road presence and comfortable interiors with off-road capabilities of a 4×4. It came powered by a 2.2-litre VTT DICOR diesel engine which produced 138bhp and 320Nm of torque. However, the pickup was discontinued in India in January 2017. Not only in India, but Tata Motors has also been manufacturing vehicles for many countries for a long time. Talking about the reach, Tata Motors has a significant presence in Africa, Latin America, Russia, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. In this article, we are going to talk about one such product, the Tata Xenon which is still available in the Middle East car market.
Middle East Tata Xenon design
The Tata Xenon in the Middle Eastern market gets the front chrome-plated grille and body-coloured handles. However, being a pickup does make a difference in overall design as the car is offered in single and double cabins. The car is available with a decent-sized bed at the rear with a maximum payload of 900kg for a double cabin pickup.
Talking about the single cabin pickup’s design, it gets clear headlamps and tail lamps with a multifocal reflector and an external radio antenna. On the other hand, the double cabin gets a front body coloured bumper, front chrome-plated grille and turn indicator on body-coloured ORVMs.
Dimensions
The single cabin variant measures around 5250mm, 1860mm, 1765mm in terms of length, width and height respectively. The pickup has a wheelbase of 3150mm and a ground clearance of 210mm. The double cabin measures 5125mm in length, 1860mm in width and 1765mm in height. This double cabin pickup has the same wheelbase and ground clearance as that of the single cabin variant.
