While showcasing the Tata Hexa in its production trim at the biennial show, Tata Motors confirmed in a statement that the SUV will be powered by the 2.2-liter four-cylinder VariCOR 400 diesel engine capable of 156 PS at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm of torque between 1,700-2,700 rpm. 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions were also confirmed, and were in-fact showcased on the display cars (at the Auto Expo, the Tata Hexa had a 6-MT while an accessorised Tata Hexa TUFF had a 6-AT).

Further, the manufacturer stated that the Hexa comes with 19-inch wheels and a 2,850 mm wheelbase, though there are minor changes in the length, width and height specifications. During the Auto Expo, it was announced that the Hexa measures 4,764 x 1,895 x 1,780 mm in length x width x height respectively. However, after undergoing ARAI-tests, these specifications now read 4,788 mm in length, 1,903 mm in width and 1,791 mm in height.
