SCOOP – On Test Tata Xenon Spotted

Tata Motors is conducting tests on the Xenon. We spotted the Xenon with an On Test badge around Pune. The pick-up featured its boot filled with jerry cans. Visually there was not any difference from the Xenon which is on sale in our markets. The Xenon we spotted was a right hand drive version, so this rules out specific testing for export markets. Is Tata Motors just doing regular testing of the Xenon or are there any mechanical changes underneath? Tata Motors could be adopting the Aria’s engine into the Xenon. The Aria and Xenon use the same basic 2.2-liter block but the Aria features revised oil sump, mounts and flywheel. These changes make the Aria quieter and prone to less vibrations.
