Apart from the different versions of the ACE, TATA is also revamping its utility models, the Sumo and the 207DI.
I first saw the new 207 (it may be the new Telcoline as well) undergoing testing on the Mumbai-Pune highway way back in November 2006, while i was on the GIR (www.thegreatindianroadtrip.com).
I was on the Kinetic Italiano Jupiter and spotted this massive jeep under test. With my camera in the left hand and throttle in the right, I managed to take quite a few pictues.
It looks much better than the current offering. Sometime back, TATA had launching a lifestyle model, the Telcoline, but due to overpricing and avg looks, it didnt do well. This new one seems much more muscular and handsome and should no doubt be the choice for the urban Yuppy. Engine options will be the turbo charged 3.0L engine (doing duty on the new Sumo spacio Gold) as well as the new 2.2L CRDi being developed by TATA.
Body wise, there will be an option for a 2door as well 4door version.
The other model one can see quite commonly is the new Sumo.
Again, bigger and much better looking than the current one, it will have engine options same as above. The Sumo was launched more than a decade ago in 1994 and this will be the first major upgrade it will get.
