The Hexa site currently does not have any details to offer about the SUV, but it is open for registration. Tata will open the booking for the Hexa from November 1. Tata Hexa will rival Toyota Innova Crysta, Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner in India.

The Hexa is expected to offer ABS as standard and will also include safety features such as EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution), VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control), ROM (Roll-Over Mitigation, with ESP), HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assistance), HHC/HDC (Hill Hold Control/Hill Descent Control) and TCS (Traction Control System).
In terms of dimension, Hexa measures 4,764 mm in length, 1,895 mm in width and 1,780 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,850 mm and is expected house a five-inch touchscreen that comes paired to a JBL's 10-speaker audio system, dual-tone dashboard and LED illumination.
