# TATA HEXA (2017–2020)

## Complete Protection Guide for India's Premium MUV

This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to protect your Tata Hexa—from essential Paint Protection Film and ceramic coatings to legal sun film compliance and genuine parts reference.

> **Important Context:** The Tata Hexa was Tata Motors' flagship premium MUV, produced from January 2017 to April 2020 . While no longer in production, many Hexas remain on Indian roads, serving families and fleet operators with their spacious 7-seater configuration and robust 2.2L VARICOR diesel engine.

## Why Your Tata Hexa Needs Protection

The Hexa's large frontal area, imposing grille, and spacious 7-seater cabin make it vulnerable to stone chips, door dings, and interior wear. Consider this real-world experience from a Hexa owner on Team-BHP:

> *'I have gotten full car PPF done for Tata Hexa - 75K (no roof and boot lid) - Has had 2-3 scrapes one being a big one with an auto. The film was replaced in 1 hour and car was back to as if nothing happened.'*

**PPF is your insurance against these costs.** A single major scrape with an auto could cost thousands in bodywork—PPF prevented it entirely for this owner.

### Clutch & Transmission Reference (For Maintenance Awareness)

Knowing clutch replacement costs helps you plan long-term maintenance :

| Component | Estimated Cost |
|:---|:---|
| Clutch Oil (250 ml) | ₹287 – ₹444 |
| Clutch Overhaul Labour | ₹2, 665 – ₹4, 127 |
| Clutch Change Time | 4–6 hours |

> *'Pitcrew strongly recommends replacement of gear oil during clutch overhaul for Tata Hexa cars.'*

## PPF vs Ceramic Coating: Which One for Your Hexa?

| Feature | Paint Protection Film (PPF) | Ceramic Coating |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Primary Protection** | Physical shield against stone chips, scratches, scuffs | Chemical shield against UV, bird droppings, acid rain |
| **Stone Chip Defense** | ✅ YES – absorbs impact | ❌ NO – cannot stop chips |
| **Scratch Resistance** | High (self-healing on premium films) | Low (light wash-induced swirls only) |
| **Gloss Enhancement** | Maintains factory finish | Dramatically improves depth & shine |
| **Hydrophobic Effect** | Good | Excellent – self-cleaning properties |
| **Durability** | 5–10 years | 1–4 years |

**Real Hexa Owner Experience:**

> *'The peace of mind the PPF gives against bikers that brush their handlebars against the car side or some idiots who like to draw on a dusty car or even key it is simply worth the amount to spend on PPF for 8-10 years peace of mind.'*

> *'Whenever you give your car for body work for a deep scratch or light scrape is downtime for your car and more often than not the colour will never match. If you have OCD on colour matching like me, it will drive you up the wall.'*

## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Sun Film Laws for Tata Hexa

### The Legal Reality (Updated 2026)

Understanding the law is essential for Hexa owners who want sun protection without risking fines or insurance issues.

**The 70/50 Rule:** According to the Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989 :
- **Front & Rear Windscreen:** Minimum 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission)
- **Side Windows:** Minimum 50% VLT

**The Supreme Court's 2012 Ban:** In Avishek Goenka v. Union of India, the Supreme Court banned the use of 'black films… or any other material' on vehicle windows .

> *'The court’s order means that even if a film claims to be '70% VLT compliant, ' it is still illegal to paste it on your car. The act of adding *any* film is what the court banned.'*

**The 2024 Kerala High Court Judgment:** Created confusion by interpreting a new BIS standard to permit VLT-compliant films . However, this order is jurisdictionally confined to Kerala and does not overrule the Supreme Court's nationwide ban.

### Penalties for Violation (Post-2019 Amendment)

| Offence Level | Penalty |
|:---|:---|
| Low Risk | ₹500 (first offence) or ₹1, 500 (subsequent offence) under MVA Section 177 |
| Medium Risk | ₹5, 000 under MVA Section 182A(4) for illegal alteration + forcible on-the-spot removal |
| **Catastrophic Risk** | **Insurance claim repudiation** – Insurers can reject claims for damage or theft, arguing the illegal film constitutes a breach of policy contract |

> *'The Supreme Court explicitly authorized the police to remove illegal films at the owner's expense. This is not an overreach of authority; it is a direct order from the court.'*

### Government Guidelines on Sun Shades

> *'The bottom line is that these car shades can be deployed when the car is parked and not being driven around. The car shade can be used to block the sun's rays when the car is parked in sunlight. Once the car is required to be driven around, these shades must be removed.'*

### Your Only Legal Sun Protection Options

| Solution | Legality | Use Case | Recommendation |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factory Tata Glass** | ✅ 100% Legal | Driving | As equipped |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades** | ✅ 100% Legal (parked only) | Parked UV protection | **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** |
| **Aftermarket Films** | ❌ Illegal (any VLT) | Not permitted | **NOT RECOMMENDED** – Insurance risk |

> *'Given the binding Supreme Court precedent and, most critically, the catastrophic financial risk of insurance claim repudiation, this report must advise all vehicle owners in India to strictly avoid the installation of any aftermarket sun control films, tints, or materials on their vehicles.'*

### Factory-Tinted Glass: Why It's Legal

Many new cars come with 'privacy glass' from the factory. This is legal because :
- It is not a film – the tint is part of the glass itself
- It is certified by the manufacturer to meet VLT standards
- It meets CMVR 100(2) as original equipment

**Your Hexa's factory glass is the benchmark for compliance.**

## Pro Tip for Tata Hexa Owners

> *The Tata Hexa is a premium MUV that has served Indian families faithfully. Based on real owner experiences, replacement part realities, and legal requirements, we recommend our **Hexa 'Family' Protection Package**:*

### Phase 1: Paint Protection – The 'Owner-Approved' Strategy

**What a Hexa Owner Actually Did:**

> *'I have gotten full car PPF done for Tata Hexa - 75K (no roof and boot lid) - Has had 2-3 scrapes one being a big one with an auto. The film was replaced in 1 hour and car was back to as if nothing happened.'*

**Option A (Proven by Actual Hexa Owner) – Full Car PPF (No Roof/Boot Lid):**
- *Coverage:* Full car excluding roof and boot lid
- *Owner's Experience:* '75K. Has had 2-3 scrapes one being a big one with an auto. The film was replaced in 1 hour and car was back to as if nothing happened.'
- *Estimated Cost:* ₹75, 000 – ₹90, 000

**Option B (For Current Owners) – High-Impact PPF + Ceramic:**
- *Coverage:* Full front bumper, bonnet, mirrors, door edges, rear sill
- *Estimated Cost:* ₹50, 000 – ₹70, 000
- *Best For:* Budget-conscious protection

### Phase 2: Legal Sun Protection – CRITICAL

Given the Supreme Court's 2012 ban on aftermarket films and the catastrophic insurance risk :

- *NO aftermarket films* – Illegal and can void your insurance
- *Magnetic sun shades for parked protection* – 100% legal alternative
- *Use shades ONLY when parked* – Remove before driving

**Insurance Warning:**
> *'The forfeiture of a motor insurance claim... an insurer has a strong legal standing to reject a claim for damage or theft by arguing the illegal film constituted a breach of the policy contract. This risk alone renders any perceived benefit of sun film negligible.'*

### Phase 3: Essential Accessories

- *Nikavi Steering Wheel Cover* – Good fit for Hexa, provides grip and cushioning
- *Kylo Wiper Blades (P26)* – Frameless, water repellant
- *Kozdiko Tyre Valve Caps (₹555)* – Blue light with motion sensor
- *Premium Body Cover* – Protects paint when parked outdoors

### Phase 4: Interior Protection

- *3D Floor Mats* – Essential for 7-seater family usage
- *Custom-fit Boot Liner* – Protects cargo area behind third row
- *Seatback protector mats* – Protects seats from kids' shoes
- *Door sill PPF* – Extra protection for family members climbing in

**Why This Package Matters for Your Hexa:**

**The Owner-Verified Reality:** A Tata Hexa owner on Team-BHP documented their experience with full car PPF (excluding roof and boot lid) for ₹75, 000. After 2-3 scrapes including 'a big one with an auto, ' the PPF was replaced in 1 hour and the car was back to perfect condition .

**The Insurance Reality:** The single most critical risk is insurance claim repudiation. Insurers can reject your claim if illegal sun films are found on your vehicle. This risk alone makes aftermarket films not worth it .

**The Family MUV Reality:** The Hexa sees constant use – kids climbing in, luggage loading, groceries in the boot. Without protection, your Hexa will show wear within months. PPF and ceramic coating preserve its showroom condition.

**Cost Context for Reference:**

| Service | Estimated Price Range |
|:---|:---|
| Full Car PPF (No Roof/Boot Lid) – Owner-Approved | ₹75, 000 |
| Premium Ceramic Coating | ₹25, 000 – ₹40, 000 |
| High-Impact PPF Package | ₹50, 000 – ₹70, 000 |
| Kozdiko Tyre Valve Caps | ₹555 |
| Magnetic Sun Shades (Legal) | ₹4, 000 – ₹7, 000 |
| Clutch Overhaul Labour | ₹2, 665 – ₹4, 127 |

**The Tata Hexa – A Family Legend:**

The Hexa was Tata's flagship MUV—a spacious 7-seater built for family adventures and long-distance comfort. While no longer in production, many Hexas remain on Indian roads, serving families faithfully.
