The Tata Xenon, which was introduced to the local market back in 2008, was first introduced to its home market in India back in 2006 where it is marketed as the second generation of the Telcoline. Those familiar with the Telcoline range will recall the early days of Tata in South Africa, where the Telcoline was sold as a light commercial bakkie.
Both the first and second generation of the Telcoline are still produced in India, however, when the second generation reached local shores the brand, in an attempt to create a more lifestyle-orientated image for the bakkie, sold it as the Xenon. The model features a body-on-frame chassis and was sold in double and single cab guise. The Xenon was updated in 2013 and received the XT badge and a new 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine that has its roots from the PSA Group. Sale of the bakkie ceased sometime in 2015. Here are the top 3 Xenon articles currently on our site.
