Tata Spacio
Another version, called Tata Spacio was launched in 2000. This has a 2956 cc Direct Injection diesel engine (more popularly known as 4SP 3L DI) which was sourced from the popular Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) Tata 407. The major changes in Spacio were in the powertrain. Riding on a longer wheelbase as compared to earlier version, Spacio used different Engine, Transmission, Rear Axle and Tires specifically to get better Fuel Economy. Apart from being a 'No-Frills' version, the prominent visual difference between Spacio and Sumo was the presence of round headlamps instead of the rectangular ones.
A soft top version of the Spacio called the Spacio ST was also introduced for the rural markets.
In early 2007 Tata Motors launched Spacio Gold Plus. This version received the Turbocharged engine of the 4SP family and offered increased power of 70 PS (at 3000 rpm) and 223 Nm Torque (at 2200 rpm).
