FactLate 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.
The Sumo Spacio, launched in 2000 as a cheaper, no-frills version of the Sumo, introduced a new 2,956 cc direct-injection naturally aspirated diesel (Tata 4SP, 65 horsepower) from the light commercial Tata 407, on a longer wheelbase with a different transmission, rear axle and tyres for better fuel economy; it had round headlamps and there was a soft-top Spacio ST (also 4WD) for rural markets. The Spacio Gold Plus of early 2007 got the turbocharged 3.0 4SP-family engine with 70 horsepower at 3,000 rpm and 223 Nm at 2,200 rpm. The Sumo Victa, launched on 7 July 2004 as a facelift of the Spacio, added a tachometer, multifunction instrument panel, power steering, power windows and keyless entry; the Victa Turbo DI of later 2007 carried the powertrain over, with the spare wheel moved under the body and 7- and 9-seat variants. 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.

Despite the name, the Sumo has nothing to do with wrestling — it's named for Sumant Moolgaokar, a former Tata Motors managing director.
