Car Profiles - Tata Xenon

TATA XENON

Aiming at the lower end of the segment (the fleet most especially), the Tata Xenon has the potential to be the brand's best seller especially it has been developed in a country where terrain conditions are nearly identical. While it has some cheap touches and dated features, the price is hard to deny.

The Good: Price entry is affordable

The Bad: Too basic

Price Range: P805,000-P1,125,000
