When the model was introduced, earlier this year, it was offered only in white. Now Accordian Investments, which markets Tata cars and light commercials in South Africa, has listened to input from customers and potential customers and added black as a limited exterior colour.
The exterior of the Evolve Special Edition has a number of important, added value features including a roll-over bar behind the cab, side steps, a front nudge bar and a tow bar as well as unique badging and a special decal package. The alloy wheels have been revised as an additional distinguishing feature.
The Xenon range blends modern styling, comprehensive safety features which includes ABS as well asdual front airbags, plus a host of convenience features such as GPS navigation and Bluetooth compatibility. Other items that are standard equipment include electric windows, power steering, an audio system with an MP3 player and a tilt-adjustable steering column.
The Evolve is powered by a new generation 2.2-litre turbo Tata diesel engine with variable valve timing, variable turbine technology and direct injection with a common fuel rail. It develops 110kW of power and a peak torque figure of 320Nm. Double cab variants also benefit from rear diff-lock for those tough situations.
The Evolve is very competitively priced with a significantly different exterior and interior appearance to distinguish it from the other models in the Xenon range. The limited edition Evolve is offered as a 4x2 model and the retail price -which includes VAT- remains unchanged since its introduction at R269 995. A 4x4 model is also available, but only by special order.
