Tata Motors has unveiled the new Hexa crossover concept at
the ongoing Geneva motor show 2015. The carmaker says this concept “unveils a
new design language for Tata SUVs”.
Internally known as the “Eagle”, the Hexa concept is based
on the Tata Aria, but now gets a completely new identity in the form of its
revamped styling. Up front, the all-new bonnet is now flatter and features a
clamshell design. The new-look Tata grille is wide brushed aluminium strips
curling upwards like a smile.
The projector headlights merge neatly in the wide
grille. The front bumper features a wide air dam framed by a prominent
brushed-aluminium border. The fog lamp inserts are huge and give the bumper a
muscular stance. Moving on to the sides, the Hexa concept does resemble the
Aria a bit, and hasn't managed to completely shrug off the MPV look. Notable
design tweaks include prominent wheel arches, and a thick body cladding running
along the sides, which give it the look of a crossover. While the Hexa
concept’s glasshouse is also carried over from the Aria. But Tata has made
major changes at the back like the floating roof which gives it a different
look. The Hexa concept gets 19-inch alloy wheels that go well with its
cross-over feel.
The Hexa’s rear styling is a complete departure from the
Aria’s minimalistic look. Neat horizontal tail lamps are placed just below the
rear glass and extend onto the hatch. A wide band of chrome strip runs across
and connects the tail-lamps and even runs to the sides. The rear bumper is
divided into three layers – the top-most, painted in body colour, has prominent
embossed lines on the loading lip, while the lower half gets cladding and a
brushed aluminium faux skid plate. Like the Aria, the Hexa also comes with dual
exhausts.
