    true.

    the Tata Xenon is most certainly not an SUV.

    'tis a four door pick-up truck.

      A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

          found this pic which clearly shows that a full size quad could fit in it completely which makes me think two bikes(not sure about the ducati's though) could easily fit in (in addition to atleast four other people) making it a perfect back up vehicle...and i guess thats the reason why this vehicle must have been chosen...

                  It can actually be categorised as a 'MUV'...

                    plain n simple... if u want to abbreviate... it's a P.U.T... a pick-up truck.

                        hahaha... it's in like 3 inches of water... with the "small" quad barely fitting on the back of it.

                        so if i put knobby tyres on an R15 and ride it down a mountain bike trail.
                        would it be OK for me to call it a dirt bike?

                        i like the Xenon. but it's still a pick-up truck.

                          I don't know whats all this fuss about.

                          A Pickup Truck is way cooler than an SUV any day. Period.

                            Fine.. we come to a truce.. it is a S.P.U.T! A Sporty Pick Up Truck!!!

                              I like the way you choose to stick to your opinions, maybe one of the reasons why these vehicles will be slow to gain acceptance and respect in India. The problem is the PUT is a derogatory term used for low quality vehicles for hauling goods and it will not be correct to associate that with a vehicle like this which carries itself so well in looks and performance.

                              Meanwhile, a few more pics of the Xenon with the 796:

                                xenon is super cool.. great attitude and great street presence!!

                                [EDIT] Tata Xenon XT is a full fledged 4 wheel drive vehicle with ample ground clearance and a wonderful dimension all around. yes it is a pick up truck but no way short to a SUV. take it to any terrain where a SUV goes, and it wont complain i love vehicles like these. its got a character of its own!
