Tata Sumo Gold, the low cost MUV

Look and Style Recently I got a chance to undergo the test drive of new Tata Sumo Gold MUV. Though the exteriors of Tata Sumo Gold are not that interesting but still its design catches the eye with its masculine and tough stance. I got attracted with its simple looks and I believe that it always remains on the top list for those who believe that beauty lies in simplicity. Comfort Tata Motors tried to offer comfort in many manners. The MUV is blessed with a powerful AC, heater and demister forms major part of comfort. Further the MUV also have power windows and Tinted glass that acts like a barrier between sun and passengers. The MUV has quite comfortable seating arrangement for 10 passengers. Pickup The MUV delivers an average pick up which is enough to drive the MUV on the Indian terrains. Mileage The company claims that the new Tata Sumo Gold is an extremely fuel efficient MUV and offers the mileage of 14.7 kmpl. Best Features The best feature I like in the Tata Sumo is that the maintenance cost of the MUV is very minimal that suits my budget. Apart from it the MUV is very fuel efficient. Both the features render the car to be pocket friendly in the current scenario where the fuel prices are increasing every now and then. Needs to improve The area where Tata needs to work more is the addition of the safety and security features. The MUV lacks the advanced safety features like ABS, EBD and airbags which are quite necessary in an MUV. Overall Experience Overall I believe that the new Tata Sumo Gold is a better option since its a fuel efficient MUV and the maintenance cost is also low. The only feature that drags behind the MUV is the lack of safety features.
