Overview of Tata Sumo Gold
Tata Motors has launched new Sumo and has dropped the 'Victa' suffix from the name; it will be now sold as 'Sumo Gold' instead of 'Sumo Victa'. Sumo Gold is almost same in terms of looks and styling in comparison to Sumo Victa. There are some minor changes like new front grille, rear wiper and new fog lamps. But still Sumo looks very boxy and unappealing in comparison to Mahindra Bolero which is much better in terms of looks, styling and interiors. Also, the name changing strategy of Tata is not good, they recently dropped the Indica tag from Indica Vista, Indigo tag from Indigo Manza and Safari tag from Safari Merlin. The interiors of Sumo Gold are also same except new music system and new buttons for HVAC controls. Sumo Gold has two engine options; both are diesel and very fuel efficient. It is available in seven variants – 4 have CR4 engine and 3 have TCIC engine. The base model of Sumo Gold is priced at Rs. 5.04 lakhs (ex-showroom New Delhi). Tata Sumo Gold somes with 2 options of seating - 7 seater and 9 seater.
