Hi,
Those multi drive modes are for engine remaps & steering feedback. Nothing related to the suspension.
Btw, the 4x4 Hexa will not have low ratio like the Storme, so I guess it's use will be very limited. As it is, 4x4 has a very limited usage in the lifetime of the vehicle.
In this case, the logical choce should be the 4x2 (for almost 95% people).

I'm sure Tata will load the Hexa with features, just like it did for the Aria.

Overkill no? 8L km of testing with these type & size of tyres and people go & change them, won't it change the character of the car abit too much ?

End of the day the Toyota carries great brand value and resale and customers will end up getting swayed to Toyota.
In those price bands (20L +) the brand value plays a significant factor in the purchase decision and a typical customer in that bracket can also afford the Audis, Mercs and BMWs. Toyota has been able to play in this bracket because of its Brand and also the bulletproof reliability (which the Germans lack, at least in India)...! |
Innova Crysta ZX AT will be ~3.5L higher AFAIK. That's ~15%. Anyway, I feel
if Toyota (for the first time) cuts prices by even just 5%, that gap would narrow down, bringing the Innova dangerously close. Easy to deny that they would, but Toyota's interior plastics gave me an indication that this company has equipping itself for cutting prices (if need be) to protect market share.
Like you said, people DO care for the brand & who'd not want an internationally acclaimed product with a good legacy & great resale.
Let's see.

I'd have happily agreed if it was another company, but with Innova Crysta being an international product, I'm pretty sure they're likely to be the production car.

Really? When did you experience this ?
We tend to take liberties at such stuff. There seems much less heroic stuff happenning in there, than what's said here. If there
was, my mails to them about fake job cards wouldn't have gone unanswered.

Agreed, unnecessary criticism is there. Unfair comparisons are also there. But most people know how to sort rants from genuine complaints when they read posts.
