New Tata Safari Storme unveiled among 3 vehicles

Tata Motors has unveiled the new Safari, the Storme, at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo. The new Safari has an all-new styling and comes with a host of new features and specifications. True to its 4WD pedigree, the Storme features a 2.2-liter 16-valve common rail (DiCOR) engine (140 PS power; 320 Nm torque) with a variable geometry turbo, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The Tata Safari Storme is more understated elegance than head-turning flamboyance. It has clean, smooth lines that give it a buttoned-down corporate look. It sports a new grill, projector headlamps and a 'power bulge' on the bonnet. The rear gets chrome-tipped exhaust and a new, half greyed-out tailgate with the spare tyre now underneath the SUV. On the inside, the Storme is more spacious and has new luxurious beige seats matching the leather-wrapped steering wheel and wood-accented dashboard and door trims.

Aside from the new Safari, Tata Motors also showcased its new range of Ultra LCV and ICV comprising a series of variants from 5 to 14 tonnes. The range will be powered by new generation 3-litre (140 PS) and 5-litre (170 PS) common-rail, 16-valve DiCOR engines, offering higher aggregate life, longer service intervals and low NVH.

Also displayed is Tata's LPT 3723, India's first 5-axle rigid truck with a payload of 25 tonnes. The truck is powered by a Cummins 6BT 5.9-litre engine (209 PS power at 2500 rpm) mated to a 9-speed gearbox.

Tata Motors also showcased some stunning new initiatives on alternate fuels including the Tata Starbus Fuel Cell Concept and Tata Paradiso G7 Multi-axle Coach.

Others attractions at the Tata pavilion include, among passenger vehicles, a Tata Nano concept, the Tata Pixel concept, the Tata Indica Vista Concept S2, the Tata Manza Nova concept, the Tata Aria, AT concept, the Tata Sumo Gold and the Tata Xenon concept. Other commercial vehicles displayed are the Tata Prima 7548.S, Concept, the Tata Prima 3138.K AT, the Tata Venture Ambulance, the Tata Ace Refresh and the Tata Super Ace (left hand drive).
