| "... this big MUV has
most of what it takes to
make a statement in a market
crowded by contenders to
the MUV crown." ET

| "Shylock
would have inevitably chosen
the Tavera if he were to buy
a big utilitarian vehicle today....here
is the reasoning of shylock
to buy the Tavera: its fuel
economy and cost of ownership."
ET Auto, March 24, 2005 |
| "The Tavera is a generation
ahead of the Qualis and
it shows in the more rounded
shape, with the overall design
being quite pleasing to the
eye." ET Auto, March
24, 2005 |
| "The
insides of the car also have well finished interiors and
the dual air-con version
is better, as the vents are
intelligently placed for excellent
cooling." ET Auto,
March 24, 2005 |
| "The air-conditioning
of the Tavera is top-notch and even a fully-loaded vehicle
would see no complaints coming
from anyone." ET Auto,
March 24, 2005 |
| "Driving
a Tavera is quite an easy job.
The engine fires at a slight
twist of the key, being
a direct injection, you do not
have to wait for the glow plugs
to warm up fully." ET Auto,
March 24, 2005 |
| "A big, burly and
fuel-efficient diesel that's
better looking than the Qualis." BS Motoring, January 2005 |
| "Took a
long time coming, but the
Tavera is definitely a lesson
in refinement, ride and handling
and pricing to the Qualis and
Scorpio." BS Motoring,
January 2005 |
"Space management
is good and there's plenty
to be had in the middle row." BS Motoring, January 2005 |
"Recommended?
Yep." BS Motoring,

"Best looking
MUV in the country by far!" Overdrive, June 2004 |
| "The
outside rear view mirror are
excellent giving good coverage
and confidence as well." Overdrive, June 2004 |
| "The view from
the cockpit is one of the best
with good rear visibility as
well." Overdrive,
June 2004 |
"The
power steering is designed
for effortless driving even
in highly congested city traffic
conditions. Thanks to its feather touch responsiveness,
maneuvering it through narrow
lanes or negotiating crowded
roads is as easy as a car. Tavera's suspension is specially
designed to heighten the comfort
of its plush interiors, while
giving it the ruggedness of
a SUV." Motor India,
June 2004
|
| "The pricing makes Tavera a very good value-for-money
family vehicle. If
the in-laws, children and the
odd uncle and aunt decide to
hop in for a ride, the Tavera
can handle it effortlessly;
certainly much better than a
'car'. For a largish joint family,
it is not a bad option at all.
Pit it against a Qualis and
it wins in the image and looks
department." IT Travel
Plus, June 2004 |
| "Space
and practicality is what SUV
owners expect, to carry the
entire family and luggage. It's
in this area that the Tavera
shines." Autocar
India, June 2004 |
"There are
other nice details like a
tachometer, electronic trip
meter, a useful cubby hole
above the dashboard and a
side glass defroster which
owners will appreciate." Autocar India, June 2004
|
"Make
no mistake, the Tavera
is an easy vehicle to pilot,
maybe easier than some of
the more established cars
around, thanks to the tall
driving position, excellent
visibility and near perfect
geometry." Man's
World, June 2004 |
"Also unique is the
three row air conditioning
which feeds cool air to all
three rows of seats. The
Tavera's air con was the most
effective." AutoCar India, June 2004 |
| "The
Tavera is by far the roomiest,
with loads of legroom and generous
width as well." AutoCar India, June 2004 |
| "The kind of fuel efficiency
that we got from the Tavera
was quite amazing. Highway
20.1 kmpl, city 12.4 kmpl." Overdrive, June 2004 |
"The
4JA-1L direct injection unit
has been designed by Isuzu
and has been manufactured
in many countries in Asia
and has proven to be a tiredness
worker, both unbreakable and
economical to use." Overdrive,
June 2004 |
"A tested Isuzu diesel
power plant gives the Tavera
exceptional dependability.
The engine is incredibly
fuel efficient and environment-friendly as well." Overdrive,
June 2004 |
"It
gets up to the 100 kmph mark
in just under 23 seconds and
has top speed of just over
140 kmph. What more could
one ask for?" Overdrive,
June 2004 |
"Drive the
Tavera for a while and you
soon realize how impressive
its mid-range grunt is, as
well as the fact that it pulls
comfortably with six people
aboard." AutoCar
India, June 2004 |
"The
well-appointed air con makes
rear seat travel comfortable. There are separate air conditioning
vents for two rows of rear
seats. Tavera even with full
load of seven to ten people,
will make an ideal long-distance
runner as it ensures safety,
a comfortable ride and the
security of being one unit."
Simplifly, May 2004

"Within the
first 100m, you realize that
the ride and handling of Tavera
is a cut above either the
Scorpio or Qualis." AutoCar India, May 2004
|
| "Central
to Tavera's handling is the
well weighted steering, which
gives just the right amount
of feel as speed builds up. Body roll is astonishingly well
contained, and the Tavera corners
in a reassuringly flat manner,
the relatively low center of
gravity playing a major role
here. The brakes are effective..."
