The '''Tata Sumo Grande''' is a [[mid-size SUV]] produced by the [[India]]n automobile manufacturer [[Tata Motors]] from 2008 to 2016. In 2014 the name was changed in '''Tata Movus'''.

== Sumo Grande (2008-2010)==
The Sumo Grande (codeproject ''Phoenix'' during development phase) is a mid-size SUV developed by Tata Motors on the revised [[body-on-frame]] ''X2'' platform with part of the rear end derived from the previous [[Tata Sumo|Sumo]] of 1994. Like the [[Tata Telcoline#Second_generation_(2007-present)|Xenon]], the Sumo Grande was designed by Concept Group International LTD in the UK. The car was originally intended to be the second generation of the Sumo, placing lower in the Tata range than the [[Tata Safari|Safari]], however the old Sumo remained in production due to sales success in India because of a reduced list price reduced and consequently the Sumo Grande will support the previous model without ever replacing it. Part of the development was entrusted to IAV India Private Ltd.

The body measures 4,421mm long, a little less than the previous Sumo. The cockpit is available in seven and eight-seater configurations, and later nine seat version was introduced. The ''X2'' chassis uses the same double wishbone front suspension of the Xenon. The debut engine is the 2.2-liter diesel common rail ''Dicor'' VGT delivering 120 horsepower,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tatawestside.com/article/inside/G9pX9VkYYOM=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|title=Tata Motors launches 'Sumo Grande' |publisher=[[Tata Motors|TataWestSide.com]]|date=22 February 2008 |accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref> 20 horsepower less than the Safari with the same engine. The car is offered with [[rear-wheel drive]] only, without safety equipment (ABS, ESP and airbags) to avoid internal competition with the Tata Safari. Aesthetically, the car has a five-door body, stylistically inspired by the previous Sumo but more modern. The interior is the same as that of the original Sumo. The third row of seats has a two or three seat bench, while in the old Sumo the seats were single folding seats.<ref>[http://movus.tatamotors.com/downloads/Movus-Brochure.pdf Official Specification]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tatawestside.com/article/inside/iNOnLcg2!$$$!Z8=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|title=Grande: A new avatar of Tata Sumo |publisher=[[Tata Motors|TataWestSide.com]]|date=28 February 2008 |accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref>

== Sumo Grande MK II (2010-2014)==
The Sumo Grande MKII is a facelift of the previous version with many revised details,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tatawestside.com/article/inside/HNYOU0770Jk=/TLYVr3YPkMU==|title=Tata Motors launches the Sumo Grande MK II |publisher=[[Tata Motors|TataWestSide.com]]|date=14 December 2009 |accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref> especially in the mechanics with modified rear suspension for greater comfort. The steering was revised due to the previous version having been criticized for not being very direct. It received a new front grille and restyled indicators. On the interior it got new faux wood paneling and new fabrics for the door panels. The 9-seater version also makes its debut with two folding rear seats.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/business/india/story/tatas-roll-out-sumo-grande-mark-ii-to-regain-lost-ground-63013-2009-12-15|title=Tatas roll out Sumo Grande Mark II to regain lost ground|publisher=[[India Today]]|date=15 December 2009 |accessdate=7 September 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tatawestside.com/article/inside/Ih6A7lyjnIw=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|title=Tata Motors launches upgraded Sumo; eyes 60% rise in SUV sales |publisher=[[Tata Motors|TataWestSide.com]]|date=15 December 2009 |accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref>

In 2011, Tata dropped the "Sumo" nameplate and the vehicle was simply called "Tata Grande".

==Tata Movus (2014-2016)==
In 2014, with the facelift the name Sumo Grande is abandoned in favor of Movus to avoid confusion with the first generation of Tata Sumo still in production, but the characteristics of the vehicle remain unaltered. The changes are limited to interior trim and color range for the body only reduced to white and silver while the equipment was impoverished. The bumpers were no longer painted but in raw plastic, consequently the list price was lowered considerably. The engine remains the 2.2-liter Dicor common rail diesel 120 horsepower.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tatamotors.com/press/tata-motors-launches-the-all-new-movus/ |title=Tata Motors launches the all-new Movus |publisher=[[Tata Motors]] |date=6 May 2014|accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-movus-launched-at-rs-699-lakh-384695 |title=Tata Movus launched at Rs 6.99 lakh |publisher=AutocarIndia.com |date=6 May 2014|accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref>
However, sales were disappointing and in 2015, the end of production scheduled for 2016 was announced.{{Citation needed|date=February 2020}} A direct successor was not proposed, however the first generation of Sumo (originally launched in 1994) collected part of the inheritance being constantly updated.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motorbash.com/tata-to-axe-vista-indigo-and-movus-please-go-ahead/|title=Tata to Axe Vista, Indigo and Movus |publisher= Motorbash.com |date=17 April 2015 |accessdate=18 July 2018}}</ref>
