FactThe Sumo Gold's big update wasn't cosmetic — it brought common-rail direct injection to Tata's old SUV for the first time, replacing a non-common-rail diesel that had powered it for years.
The Sumo Gold, launched in February 2012 as a facelift of the Sumo Victa, introduced the 3.0 CR4 four-cylinder DiCOR common-rail direct-injection 16-valve diesel with 85 horsepower and 250 Nm, while the old 3.0 turbodiesel (70 horsepower, 225 Nm) stayed in production. It brought new fabrics, air-conditioning controls and instruments with a faux briar finish, an improved braking system and new shock absorbers; an October 2013 update added a CD/MP3 radio and dual-zone A/C. Production ceased in April 2019 and it was replaced by the Tata Harrier. Length 4,450 mm (175.2 in), width 1,756 mm (69.1 in), height 1,906 mm (75.0 in).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Late in its life, the Sumo Victa moved its spare wheel off the tailgate and tucked it under the vehicle instead — an unusual relocation most cars never bother making.
Despite the name, the Sumo has nothing to do with wrestling — it's named for Sumant Moolgaokar, a former Tata Motors managing director.
