Pick-up available in 2 engine options

KUWAIT CITY: Al-Zayani and Tata launched the latest Tata Xenon Petrol pick-up to the Kuwaiti market on Sunday evening at the Al-Zayani showroom. The car was launched in the presence of Al-Zayani Tading Co's Managing Director, Nail Al-Zayani, and unveiled Tata's latest addition to the Kuwaiti market. Al-Zayani Trading Co has been the franchisee of Tata Motors in Kuwait for a long period of time that created a mutually beneficial association which has been witnessing exponential growth in business and increased brand visibility for Tata.  "With the new Xenon Petrol, we are positive that we will add a new segment to the Tata family", commented Mr. Vinod Verghese, Tata Brand Manager at Al-Zayani.

Aggressive frontal styling and flared wheel arches give it a contemporary look and lend a commanding road presence. The Xenon comes with 2 engine options, a 2.2 liter DICOR Diesel Engine churning out 140 Hp and 320 Nm torque and a 2.1 liter MPFI petrol engine churning out 135 Hp and 195 Nm torque. The refined and improved Tata G76 transmission system, longer wheelbase, low center of gravity, raised suspension, power steering and wider track ensure good stability, balance and firm road-grip. The Xenon comes with ABS and that gives you better braking efficiency & control without skidding. The XENON is available in single cabin & double cabin configurations, with both 4x2 and 4x4 options on Diesel and only 4x2 options on Petrol.

The Tata Xenon Petrol is now available at Al-Zayani showroom in Al-Ghazali Street.
