Tata Grande (2014) Updates

Wednesday, 01 June 2016 09:04 PM After the discontinuation of the Tata Movus, the first generation of the Tata Sumo continued to be updated and remained a popular choice in the Indian market. This legacy vehicle managed to maintain its sales due to its affordability and reliability.

Tuesday, 01 March 2016 09:51 PM The production of the Tata Movus officially came to an end in 2016, marking the conclusion of the Sumo Grandes lifecycle. Despite its efforts, Tata Motors was unable to revive the vehicles sales, and it was eventually phased out.

Sunday, 01 February 2015 11:14 PM The interior of the Tata Movus saw changes such as new faux wood paneling and new fabrics for the door panels. The vehicle also came in a 9-seater version with two folding rear seats, catering to the needs of larger families. I think these interior updates were a step in the right direction.

Friday, 16 January 2015 12:59 AM The Tata Movus had a top speed of 140 km/h and could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 17.6 seconds. It also featured a 5-speed manual transmission and a minimum turning radius of 5.3 meters. These specifications made it a decent option in the mid-size SUV segment.

Monday, 01 December 2014 02:34 PM By the end of 2014, it was clear that the Tata Movus was not performing as expected. As a result, Tata Motors announced that the production of the Movus would end in 2016, with no direct successor planned. The first generation of the Sumo continued to be updated and remained in production.

Sunday, 01 June 2014 02:07 PM Despite the upgrades, the sales of the Tata Movus were disappointing. In response, Tata Motors reduced the list price considerably by using unpainted bumpers and limiting the color options to white and silver. This move was an attempt to make the vehicle more competitive in the market.

Tuesday, 15 April 2014 01:59 PM The Tata Movus retained the 2.2-liter Dicor diesel engine, producing 120 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. This engine was known for its reliability and performance, and it came with a warranty of 100,000 kilometers. I think this engine choice was a good decision given the markets preference for diesel vehicles.

Tuesday, 01 April 2014 11:30 AM The 2014 facelift of the Sumo Grande, now known as the Movus, included mechanical improvements such as a revised rear suspension for greater comfort and a more direct steering system. These changes were made to address previous criticisms and enhance the driving experience.

Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:21 PM The Tata Movus, the rebadged version of the Sumo Grande, was launched with several design cues inspired by Land Rover SUVs, such as an Evoque-like nose. This design change was aimed at giving the vehicle a more modern and sleek look. I believe this design shift helped in appealing to a broader audience.

Thursday, 13 March 2014 04:00 PM In 2014, Tata Motors decided to rebadge the Sumo Grande as the Tata Movus to avoid confusion with the first generation of the Tata Sumo, which was still in production. The Movus received a major exterior and interior upgrade, including a new front grille and restyled indicators. I think this move was necessary to give the vehicle a fresh identity in the market.
