Should you buy a used Tata Hexa in 2025?

Buying Used Tata Hexa

I am planning to buy a used Tata Hexa automatic (XMA/XTA, 2017-2019), which I’ve loved for years. Though options like the Mahindra XUV700 and used options of the XUV500, Toyota Innova Crysta, Hycross, and Tata’s Harrier and Safari exist, none of them appeal to me like the Hexa. I admire its bold, muscular and polarising design, strong features and tank-like build – it still feels like Tata’s best-built car. Based on owner feedback, the automatic is smoother, quicker and more convenient than the manual. I’ve shortlisted 3-4 options, but is it still a sensible buy in 2025?

Autocar India says: We completely understand your admiration for the Tata Hexa – it has a unique charm and presence that set it apart, even among more recent SUVs. Its body-on-frame construction gives it a robust, go-anywhere feel, and the cabin exudes a sense of luxury that few Tata vehicles have managed to replicate since. The automatic versions, in particular, are known for their smoothness and convenience.

However, being practical, we wouldn’t recommend going ahead with a used Hexa in 2025. The model has been discontinued for over five years now, and as time goes on, sourcing spare parts and finding trained technicians could become increasingly difficult. Tata vehicles, the Hexa included, also don’t age particularly well, and there’s a risk of being saddled with high maintenance costs and reliability issues as the kilometres pile up.

Among current options, the Tata Safari comes closest in terms of character, but we agree that it doesn’t quite have the same majestic, tank-like aura of the Hexa. Still, if long-term peace of mind and support matter, you’d be better off considering something more recent and still in production.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise. Now with four doors and an interior with conventional controls and switchgear, it’s clear this model is in its final stages of development. However, while the concept is an EV b...

Honda Amaze diesel discontinued ahead of RDE norms implementation

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
