Tata Motors Introduces the Azura Series With Three New Trucks

With the introduction of the Azura series, Tata Motors has quietly reshaped its approach to the light and intermediate truck space. Instead of trying to stretch one product across multiple payload classes, the company has rolled out three separate models, the Azura 710, Azura 1212 and Azura 1918, each meant to serve a fairly specific role.

1) Tata Azura 710

The Azura 710 is where the range begins, and it’s clearly built with city work in mind. With a GVW of 7,490 kg and payload a little over 4 tonnes, this truck sits in that familiar space where local distribution, small warehouses and municipal contracts usually operate. The 4SPCR diesel engine, making 99 hp and 300 Nm, isn’t trying to impress on paper. Instead, it looks tuned for daily stop-start use. Shorter load bodies starting from 10 ft and compact dimensions suggest this is a truck meant to squeeze into places bigger vehicles can’t. It’s the kind of product that small fleet owners notice, not because it’s exciting, but because it fits.

2) Tata Azura 1212

Azura 1212 feels like the centre of gravity for the entire lineup. At 11,990 kg GVW and a 7.3-tonne payload, this is a truck designed for people who run longer routes but still operate on tight schedules. The same 4SPCR family engine here makes 123 hp and 360 Nm, which doesn’t sound dramatic, but paired with load body options going up to 24 ft, it starts to make sense. This is the sort of vehicle that ends up doing many different jobs over its lifetime, FMCG today, e-commerce tomorrow, something else a year later.

3) Tata Azura 1918

Then there’s the Azura 1918, and this one is harder to miss. With 18,500 kg GVW and payload touching 12.5 tonnes, it steps firmly into heavier territory without calling itself a full-blown HCV. The 3.6-litre engine producing 168 hp and 600 Nm of torque is a noticeable jump, and the availability of load bodies up to 32 ft tells you exactly who this truck is for. Operators moving serious volumes, but not ready to jump categories.

Conclusion

Across the three models, some things stay consistent. Air brakes are standard. Tilt and telescopic power steering shows up everywhere. And Tata’s 3-year / 300,000 km warranty runs across the range, which says more about ownership thinking than marketing.

What the Azura series really shows is restraint. Tata Motors hasn’t tried to sell one story here. Instead, it’s offering three tools, each meant to do a job properly. For a lot of buyers, that’s more useful than any headline number.
