TATA SUMO EXTREME CONCEPT

Tata’s stall at the Expo has on display a souped-up concept out of the old faithful – Sumo. The 4×4 vehicle is being called as the Sumo Extreme and is based on a version of Sumo kitted up for army duties.



Here is a feature list of Sumo 4WD Extreme:


    4 roof mounted lamps
    roof-mounted rails
    set of 5 Maxxis all-terrain tubeless tyres with aggressive tread pattern
    new alloys wheels
    all-round body cladding
    LED daytime running lights
    Roof mounted Dual AC
    USB and Bluetooth connectivity
    One touch power windows

The Sumo Extreme is also endowed with a thoughtful skid plate up front and a rear central towing hook for trailers. The steering is power assisted and the braking is taken care of by discs in the front wheels and drums on the rear.

While the Sumo army comes with a turbocharged intercooled 3.0 liter 114 bhp diesel, the Extreme lets you down with a miserly 85PS. The 2956 cc CR4 engine however delivers a good amount of grunt of 250 Nm. The transmission is 5-speed manual with overdrive. The shift-on-the-run 4×4 is selectable via a knob on the dashboard in the Army version and the Extreme most likely follows suit.


Extreme comes with a double wishbone with coil springs and anti-roll bars up front and a simple and sturdy parabolic leaf at the rear. The vehicle weighs in more than 2.5 tons (gross) with a 65 liter fuel tank.
