DIMO
lets Lankans drive Tata ‘Xenon’ first in South East
Asia
By Quintus Perera
The launch of the Diesel single cab ‘Xenon’
is a unique combination of Dimo, HNB and Tata, said Ranjith
Pandithage, Chairman, Diesel and Motor Engineering Co Ltd
(DIMO) at the occasion of launch ‘Xenon’ to the
Sri Lankan market, at their showroom at R A de Mel Mawatha,
last week.
While ‘Xenon’ is running in several other countries,
Sri Lanka is the first country the vehicle is released to
in the South East Asian Region.
Pandithage said that with the launch of the TATA ‘Xenon’
they take the motor car enthusiasts into a new league altogether
and for the first time ever, they have a lifestyle single
pick up truck at this price with all its superb features.
Participating at the ‘Xenon’ launch, Rajan Theagarajah
MD/CEO Hatton National Bank said that the exclusive lease
package was worked out with Dimo and that the Tata ‘Xenon’
could be purchased with a tailor-made leasing package for
an initial down payment of Rs. 5 lakhs and a monthly payment
of just Rs. 30,879.
He said that this includes a Rs 1.2 million Life Insurance
Cover as well as a Free HNB Credit Card. Customers have the
advantage of walking into any HNB branch and having their
leasing package made out for them.
He said that HNB is involved in leasing for more than a decade
and is the market leader among the private sector commercial
banks. In the leasing business, HNB leasing is among the country’s
top leasing companies and the customers have the facility
of dealing through their massive network of 171 branches spread
all over the country.
Vijitha Bandara, General Manager, Tata division, Dimo said
that ‘Xenon’ is a brand-new diesel lifestyle pick-up
that sets the true-blood enthusiast apart from the ordinary
motor car driver.
It does 10 kilometres per litre and costs only Rs. 18 lakhs
and it packs a three litre Direct Injection Common Rail (DICOR)
engine with TCIC. For driving comfort, ‘Xenon’ offers
A/C with power steering which is standard. Power Windows,
Central Locking and a locally fitted Audio set-up are options.
The 3L DICOR diesel technology promises excellent power delivery
and low fuel consumption.
Tata ‘Xenon’ is another in the range of well engineered
motor vehicles brought down by Dimo. Diesel and Motor Engineering
PLC is one of Sri Lanka’s foremost motor car and engineering
firms and are sole agents for Mercedes Benz, Chrysler, Jeep,
Tata and a host of other World Class Brands.
