Tata Sumo 2025 Model 7-Seater Car Launched at the Price of a Pulsar Bike – Comes with 2956cc Engine and Great Mileage
Tata Motors has created a stir in the Indian automobile market by bringing back its iconic SUV ‘Sumo’ in a new avatar in 2025. This is the same Sumo that won the hearts of people in rural and small towns for decades with its robust body and reliable performance. These new models retain the same power but are equipped with modern technology and features to take it to a new era. The price is kept at a level that we can associate with bikes (like Pulsar) to a great extent. It has indeed become a popular choice, with large families, businessmen or taxi-drivers finding it affordable and commercially useful.
Design and Style: Nostalgia, New Tadka
The new Tata Sumo model retains the boxy, robust exterior while also giving it a stylish upgrade. The front grille is now wider and more attractive, while the new design of the headlamps gives it a modern touch. Integrated fog lights and updated bumpers add a sporty touch to the new look. The side profile features thick side cladding, roof rails and strong wheel arches that give it an athletic and robust presence. The interiors are a perfect blend of simplicity and comfort. The simple yet streamlined dashboard with fine plastic finishes and large, comfortable seats makes it perfect for long journeys.
Engine and Performance: Powerful Diesel C62
The new Sumo is powered by a 2956cc turbo diesel engine that produces a powerful 85 PS and a massive 250 Nm of torque. The engine is specially tuned to carry seven passengers and extra luggage. The 5-speed manual transmission drives it smoothly, making the driving experience comfortable and stable. It is also compliant with BS6 Phase 2 emission norms, making it more eco-friendly and long-term user-friendly.
Ride Comfort: Smooth and Reliable Ride
The Sumo has maintained its strong position while also focusing on a comfortable ride. Tata has tuned the suspension system and chassis to be responsive and light on rough roads. The high ground clearance and light steering make the ride easy and manageable even in such conditions. The rear-wheel-drive system adds to its strength and delivers a durable feel. Be it long journeys, crowded roads or rural routes, the vehicle proves its reliability at every turn.
Features and Tech Focus: Simple and Useful
Tata’s strategy is to offer ‘less but more.’ The key features on the Sumo are designed to give the rider what they need while avoiding unnecessary luxuries. These include:
- Power steering—for effortless maneuverability.
- Manual air-conditioning and rear vents—for better health and cooling on crowded and rural routes.
- Power windows (front)—for city and regional use.
- Digital instrument cluster—modern infotainment and stability.
- USB/AUX music system and 12V charging port—quality entertainment.
- LED headlamps—better view even on chaotic nights.
These features come in handy for everyday use and make it extremely practical.
Mileage: Excellent fuel efficiency
Despite the massive diesel engine, the Sumo’s mileage is second to none—a range of 18–20 km/l makes it a standout. This figure makes it an extremely attractive option for families, small businesses and taxi drivers who are keeping a close watch on fuel costs. Apart from the outrageous mileage, the diesel engine’s advantages—longer life and lower maintenance cost—make this vehicle a robust and economical option.
Pricing and options: Bike-like pricing, SUV-like capabilities
The starting price of ₹ 1.49 lakh, ex-showroom, has indeed turned out to be a salutary decision. The price is largely in line with that of a bike but with the 7-seater option. The variants—Base, LX, and EX—range from ₹1.49 lakh to ₹2.10 lakh. There is also the possibility of adding an automatic option or other features in the future. The quality and capability at this price point make it a very practical option.
Long-distance use and everyday companion
Whether it is a daily commute to the petrol pump in the city or trips in the countryside—the Sumo is a workhorse. Comfortable seats, simple yet satisfying interiors, and multi-environment capability make it a workhorse. The 140 km/h top speed and stable handling give the driver confidence.
