Tata has really worked on the performance aspect for this SUV offering multiple power options to entice performance lovers. Available in both Storme and Dicor badge, this SUV gets a 2.2 litre diesel unit which is tuned to deliver two different power outputs. Its milder Dicor variant manages to generate 140 PS of peak power at 4000 rpm along with a peak torque of 320 Nm available between 1700-2700 rpm. The other more potent variant of the 2.2 litre diesel unit is the Storme Varicor 400 avatar that is available in both 4X2 and 4X4 variant (i.e. Front wheel drive and four wheel drive respectively). Using variable turbine technology this motor is capable enough to generate 156 PS of peak power at 4000 rpm along with an impressive 400 Nm of maximum torque available pass 1750 rpm. This new avatar gets a new 6 speed manual gearbox which now helps in shifting gears more easily and to also improve efficiency figures when coasting on higher gears at lower rpms. Its Varicor 400 variant is definitely a level up from its previous engines and its does offer a peppy drive despite the 2600+ kg weight of this SUV. One can still feel some amount of body roll when crossing fast corners, but with an improved suspension setup and the addition of a limited slip differential, the SUV tends to remain under control despite any situation. The 4X4 variant also gets an Electronic shift on-fly dial that lets you switch between a 4x4 or a 4x2 setup as per your will. On the whole, the ride quality as well as performance has improved quite drastically on the latest avatar of this SUV.
