The Xenon also gets a limited slip differential, and alloy wheels as standard.
It looks similar to the Sumo Grande from the front and those bulging wheel archwes give it a lot of presence. At the rear the tailgate also get an embosed 'Tata' Logo.ased on a thoroughly revised tata pick up truck TL chassis, the Xenon is a whopper - longer than a Q7 and wider than a BMW X5.This is an extended cab version with four doors and the load bay is designer to carry 500kg, but 'officially' only 220kgs.
