The Hexa used Tata's Impact design language,[3] also used in Tata Tiago, Tata Tigor, Tata Nexon and the Tata Harrier. The company used its three design studios in India, the UK and Italy for designing cars in this design framework.
The Tata Hexa was available in a number of variants, all of which are differentiated based on cabin features, design aesthetics as well as engine power and torque output. It was also available with an extremely sophisticated AWD system which used inspiration from Land Rovers Software Capabilites.
The Tata Hexa was not well received by the Indian Market and did not manage to make a significant impact on the sales of its closest rivals the Toyota Innova and the Mahindra XUV 500 despite being an overall more premium and complete package.
