Tata Motors to bring back iconic ‘Sumo’ in 2025?

Car enthusiasts, even today, are eager to get their hands on one of these machines—better still if they can park one in their garages.

Hyderabad: One cannot simply list the best discontinued Indian SUVs without featuring the iconic Tata Sumo! Such has been the craze surrounding this legendary vehicle.

The Sumo, an epitome of ruggedness and versatility, redefined the Indian car market in many ways. Its robust stance, majestic road presence, and never-say-die character enabled owners to clock hundreds of thousands of kilometers on Indian roads in the late ’90s and early 2000s. This legacy has earned the Sumo a prominent place in automotive history.

The Sumo is estimated to come with a competitive price tag ranging between ₹10 to ₹15 lakh. This reliable workhorse is expected to attract a wide range of buyers, including off-road enthusiasts and families.
