Making of Tata Safari Storme – Sketch
In Feb-2013, we reported our readers that Tata Motors in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover is planning to update the Tata Sumo Grande in order to compete with the likes of Mahindra Xylo and Toyota Innova. This update would have resemblances of the very famous Land Rover Evoque.
The sketches which has been released all over the web depicted as Tata Sumo Grande facelift is actually not the facelifted Sumo Grande. By the views provided by one of our readers and then having a detailed view of the video available, it is clear that the sketches actually belong to Tata Safari Storme design development in its initial phase. On comparing the sketches with the video below, you will realize that the news of Sumo facelift drawing inspiration from the Evoque is nothing but a hoax.
Tata Motors has already taken help from the Land Rover engineers in the development of Tata Aria Crossover which was a success and has become the Tata Motors flagship product. Expectation from Tata Motors has increased after its collaboration. Both Tata Motors and Land Rover engineers worked together in Safari Storme.
