Tata
Motors has a pioneering presence in India's automobile
industry, best illustrated by the path-breaking creation
of the Indica, a hatchback that was the country's first
indigenously designed and manufactured car. Since then
the company has expanded its passenger cars portfolio,
which now also boasts the Indigo, a sedan, and the Indigo
Marina, a station wagon.
Indica
Launched in 1998, the Indica was a trailblazer in more
ways than one, and it set Tata Motors on the path to
reaching a leadership position in India's passenger
car segment. The original Indica variants were followed
by the outstanding Indica V2, a runaway bestseller.
This car is now also available in the UK, under the
label City Rover, following a tie up between Tata Motors
and Rover, the British carmaker. Presented below are
the different versions and models of the Indica.
Indica V2
diesel: The Indica V2, an improved version of the
original Indica, has several added features: SuperDrive
engine, BlockShock absorbers, SmoothRide suspension,
EasyShift gears and WideTread tyres. It is available
in a range of vibrant colours and there is no waiting
period (since it is available on an ex-stock basis).
There are four models in this version: the Indica V2
DL, the Indica V2 DLE, the Indica V2 DLS and the Indica
V2 DLX.
Indica V2
petrol: The petrol version of the Indica is embellished
with state-of-the-art technology and stunning style.
Features include collapsible steering column, side-impact
beam, energy-absorbing crumple zones in the front, anti-submarine
seats, child-safety locks on rear doors, and laminated
front and rear windshield glass. There are three models
in this version: the Indica V2 LEI, the Indica V2 LSI
and the Indica V2 LXI.
Indigo
The Indigo is a comfortable,
spacious, premium-features sedan with class-leading
ride and handling characteristics in the midsize (C)
segment. Developed on Tata Motors' highly successful
car platform in Pune, the Indigo, launched in 2002,
comes in three models of petrol and two models of diesel
in six attractive colours.
The Indigo petrol comes with an 85bhp engine, while
the diesel version is the only vehicle in this class with a turbo-charged engine.
An extended wheelbase helps maintain a compact overall length while delivering
large interior space. The different models of the Indigo are: the Petrol GLX,
the Petrol GLS, the Petrol GLE, the Diesel LX and the Diesel LS.
Indigo
Marina
The Indigo Marina story started following the success
of the Indigo, and the realisation by Tata Motors that
there was a market for a car that has the luxury of
a sedan and the utility and convenience of a multi-utility
vehicle. The Marina has the power, safety and luxury
of the Indigo — and a whole lot more boot space.
