The '''Tata Hexa''' is a [[mid-size SUV]] manufactured by Indian passenger and commercial vehicle manufacturer [[Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles|Tata Motors]] between 2017 and 2020. A heavily reworked [[Tata Aria]], the Hexa was originally unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://overdrive.in/news-cars-auto/2016-geneva-motor-show-tata-hexa-tuff-showcased/|title=2016 Geneva Motor Show: Tata Hexa Tuff showcased - Overdrive|website=Overdrive|language=en-US|access-date=2018-10-07}}</ref> and was launched into the Indian market in January 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://auto.ndtv.com/news/tata-hexa-launched-in-india-prices-start-at-rs-11-99-lakh-1650033|title=Tata Hexa Launched: Prices Start at Rs. 11.99 Lakh - NDTV CarAndBike|work=CarAndBike|access-date=2018-10-07|language=en}}</ref>

== Overview == {{Unreferenced section|date= July 2025}} {{Multiple images | direction = vertical | image1 = Tata Hexa (12).JPG | caption1 = Side view | image2 = Tata Hexa (11).JPG | caption2 = Rear view | align = left | caption_align = center }} The Tata Hexa was available with a 2.2-liter Diesel engine, either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive, and shipped in a number of versions with varying interior and exterior features, as well as different engine power and torque output. Both manual and automatic transmissions were marketed.

The Tata Hexa came with 6 variants at launch. The Base model, the XE, came equipped with the 2.2L Varicor 320, while the rest of the lineup, consisting of the XM, XMA, XT, XTA, and XT 4x4, all came with the 2.2L Varicor 400. The range topping trim, the XT 4x4, came with a Borg Warner sourced Torque-on-Demand type Transfer Case paired with a 6 speed manual transmission. The XMA and XTA came with the Punch Powerglide 6L50 Automatic Transmission. The Hexa was not offered with an Automatic 4x4 variant throughout its life. In 2018, a XM+ variant was launched to fill the wide gap between the top end XT variant and the mid XM variant.

As the Indian market did not receive it well and it failed to make a significant impact on the sales of its closest rivals such as the [[Toyota Innova]] and the [[Mahindra XUV 500]], despite having an overall more premium and complete package{{Citation needed|date=August 2020}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tata Hexa Vs Mahindra XUV500 Vs Toyota Innova Crysta: Engine, Features, Safety and Price |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/auto/car-news/tata-hexa-vs-mahindra-xuv500-vs-toyota-innova-crysta-engine-features-safety-and-price/511556/ |url-status=live |access-date=January 5, 2026 |website=The Financial Express}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Tata Hexa Vs Toyota Innova Crysta Vs Mahindra XUV500 – Spec Comparison |url=https://www.cardekho.com/india-car-news/tata-hexa-vs-toyota-innova-crysta-vs-mahindra-xuv500-ndash-spec-comparison-19870.htm |url-status=live |access-date=January 5, 2026 |website=CarDekho}}</ref>, production of the Tata Hexa was halted in 2020 with the implementation of [[Bharat Stage emission standards|BS6]] emission standards in the country. While leaked{{By whom|date=July 2025}} information said that the 2.2L Varicor was being worked upon to meet the new emission standards, fears of the Hexa cannibalizing the sales of the [[Tata Harrier]] and [[Tata Safari]] twins made the company reconsider relaunching the Hexa.{{citation needed|date=July 2025}}
