Tata Sumo Gold Affordable MUV but Not Safe

Sumo has been the old workhorse from Tata's stable and still going great especially in the rural regions. The most striking part of this car is its affordability. For a large family on a tight budget, this car makes a decent case for itself. At Rs. 7.46 lakhs, you will hardly find any 8-9 seater in the market matching its economics. Though the exteriors aren't much stylish and contemporary, it does well for the rural setup. However, interiors do have features such as dual AC, power windows, power steering and updated music system with USB and Bluetooth support which can be used for handsfree telephony as well. The car behaves well on road undulations and can absorb bumps quite well. But despite all this, one thing which can make or break the deal is the safety aspects. Though it is being mainly targeted at rural areas, the amount of road accidents we see in these regions is beyond the statement. Looking at the fact, it should at least have given ABS and EBD if dual airbags are not possible. You only get central locking, front fog lamps, seat belt and door ajar warning, side intrusion beam and rear high mount stop lamp. Honestly, these features are just basic and cannot be considered as safe in times of mishap. So, Tata needs to update this car looking at the latest safety regulations in mind.
