What Changed from Tata 1916 to 1918?
The Azura 1918 is not just a facelift — there are meaningful mechanical and cosmetic upgrades:
| Feature | Old 1916 | New 1918 Azura |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 160 HP | 170 HP ⬆️ |
| Gearbox | 5-Speed | 6-Speed ⬆️ |
| Headlights | Standard | LED ⬆️ |
| Branding | Tata 1916 | Tata Azura 1918 ⬆️ |
| Front Grille | Old design | New modern design ⬆️ |
| Reverse Sensors | Not standard | 4 Sensors ⬆️ |
| Steering | Basic | Tilt & Telescopic ⬆️ |
The 6-speed gearbox is perhaps the most significant upgrade for drivers doing long-haul routes. The extra gear provides better cruising RPM on highways, resulting in lower fuel consumption and less engine strain at highway speeds.

Cabin & Interior Features
The Tata Azura 1918 comes with a well-equipped AC sleeper cabin:
- AC cabin with full climate controls
- Sleeper berth — spacious rear sleeping area with dedicated light
- Tilt & telescopic steering — adjustable for driver comfort
- Digital instrument cluster — shows mileage, speed, fuel level
- Sun visors both sides (slightly small, could be bigger)
- Bottle holder in door panel
- Power window controls for driver side
- Comfortable 2-seat cabin — driver + co-driver
- 4 reverse parking sensors
- LED headlamps & DRLs — modern look, better visibility
The cabin is designed for long-haul comfort. The sleeper area behind the seats gives enough room for a driver to rest during overnight halts. Two people can travel comfortably in the front seats with plenty of legroom.
Low Maintenance — A Key Selling Point
According to the dealer (Ankur Rana from SGS Tata Motors), the Azura 1918 has significantly lower maintenance costs compared to competition. Some highlights:
- LED headlights cost half of competitor equivalent — and more readily available
- 80,000 km service interval — among the longest in the segment
- 4 year / 4 lakh km warranty — comprehensive coverage
- Bridgestone tyres — quality OEM fitment
- Low maintenance cost overall compared to competitors in this GVW class
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 170 HP — good power upgrade from 160
- 6-speed gearbox for better highway cruising
- 6.1 KMPL mileage (excellent for this size)
- 12,500 kg payload — competitive
- LED headlights at lower cost
- AC + Sleeper cabin
- 4 reverse sensors
- 80,000 km service interval
- 4 year / 4 lakh km warranty
- Tilt & telescopic steering
- Fresh modern design (Azura branding)
❌ Cons
- Diesel tank only 245L (should be 350-400L)
- Sun visors feel small
- New model — long-term reliability unproven
- Price ~₹24L — premium segment
The biggest drawback highlighted in our review is the 245-litre diesel tank. For a 22-foot truck that's meant for long-haul operations, this is inadequate. Competitors offer 350-400 litre tanks. Drivers will need to refuel more frequently, which adds time and inconvenience on long routes. We hope Tata addresses this in future variants.
