Tata Sumo is a multi-utility vehicle produced by India's largest automotive companyTata Motors. The vehicle was launched in 1994 and was one of the first passenger vehicles designed in India. The Sumo received an extensive facelift in 2004 and was renamed the Sumo Victa in face of competition from relatively modern competitors. The Sumo is said to have got its name from Mr Sumant Moolgaonkar, (Su-Mo) who was instrumental in a anumber of revolutionary changes in TELCO and bringing about significant progress.

The Sumo is based on Tata Motors' pick-up platform and thus shared most of its other mechanics with other Tata vehicles like the Tata Sierra, Tata Estate. The Tata Sumo originally came with a 1948cc normally aspirated diesel engine. Later, an option of a turbocharged version of the same engine was also offered.

Prior to the Sumo, the Indian market had stagnated, where the most modern vehicles in the same class were from Mahindra and Mahindra, primarily derived from the original Willys Jeep models. Upon release, Tata Sumo quickly captured a major segment of the utility automobile market in India.

Within three years of it's launch Tata Motors sold 100,000 Sumo vehicles.

Even after access to Mahindra XYLO for about 1 year, TATA just can't compete with XYLO. 120PS Grande's DICOR power on PAPER only provides lesser performance on ROAD than the 113PS XYLO's m-EAGLE. XYLO still remains the best MPV of India beating INNOVA. XYLO D Series (powered by MDI) against cheap competitors and E Series(powered by mEAGLE) against premium foreign vehicles.
