Tata hits UK dealers


Rover's parent company Phoenix is importing the Tata range of pick-ups into the UK and distributing the Indian-built vehicles nationwide through a network of 50 dealers.
There are four versions of the TL pick-up with single and double cabs offered on 4x2 and 4x4 chassis. Both models offer 200mm of ground clearance and feature rear doors that give access to the crew cab's back seat.
Power comes from a 2-litre charge-cooled diesel engine producing 66kW and driving through a five-speed transmission. Four-wheel drive can be selected in high range when travelling at up to 64km/h, although engaging/disengaging low ratio has to be done at a standstill.
With single cab versions, the load bed is 1.91m long and the payload is 1,280kg. This diminishes to 1,030kg and 1.65m on the crew cab versions. Both are fitted with six tie-down points and there is the option of an Ifor Williams canopy for both versions.
On-the-road prices start from £9,309 (inc VAT) for a 4x2 single cab pick-up and rise to £13,847 (inc VAT) for the 4x4 double cab.
