“Tata Indicruz will be showcased at the Auto Expo in New Delhi January 5, 2010”, SG Saksena, head of Utility Vehicles Product Group, said on the sidelines of the launch of Sumo Grande MK II in the city on Thursday.

According to industry estimates the price of the Indicruz was likely to be 20 per cent more than Sumo Grande MK II, which carries a price tag of Rs 6.65-7.66 lakh at Mumbai dealerships.
