Tata Indica Turbo Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Tata Indica Turbo
Ever since its advent the Indica has been perceived as a sedate hatchback and often defined as an economical point A to B mode of transport.
The staid people mover image assumed larger than life dimension after attaining status as darling of taxi fleets. Shift to the present, and whoa!
The new Indica Turbo diesel has shed the demure veneer and like a loaded magnum has come out smokin?... Bertrand D?souza traces the trajectory.
Style, Build and Performance:
We expected the Indica Turbo to be a fantastic performer and she does rattle off mighty impr...

Tata Indigo XL Review
Posted on:- Jun 08 2007 : Tata Indigo XL
Tata Motors’ long wheelbased Indigo XL, India’s first stretch limousine, is a combination of comfort, luxury, style, and performance. The Indigo XL has created a niche for itself in the indigenous car market and competes with the cars in its segment on the basis of its interior space, features and benefits.
The indigenous Indigo XL made its debut in 2002. It is an extension of its predecessors in terms of comfort, performance and added features. It comes with a set of luxury paraphernalia such as leather trimmings and lush interior facilities.
The Indigo XL is available...

Tata Indica
Launched in 1998, the Tata Indica was an instant success and the V2 stepped in later to sort out many of the original’s problems. Tata has now launched a turbo-charged variant and a much improved petrol version for the Indica. But are they good enough?:
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
Designed by IDEA, the design house that also designed the Fiat Palio, the handsome little Indica has a cab-forward stance, raked bonnet and windscreen and vertically stacked rear lights. The clear, winged headlamps and gorgeous tail-lights lend a distinct touch of class, while a...

Tata Sumo Victa Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Tata Sumo Victa
When Tata launched the Sumo in 1994, it was a runaway hit, the best MUV around at the time. Now, however, with the Qualis and the Tavera in the market, the Sumo has rapidly lost ground, and has been sidelined in the personal-vehicle market. The Sumo Victa aims to restore some of the car's advantages, and present itself as a true lifestyle vehicle. :
Design, Engineering and Interiors:
The Sumo Victa doesn't look too different from the old car — much of the detailing has changed, the boxy proportions are the same. The changes centre around the nose, w...

Tata Indica V2 Review
Posted on:- Jun 07 2007 : Tata Indica V2 Diesel
Tata began selling this car with a huge Indian tricolor as the brand ambassador, pun most definitely intended. The only and most significant reason for the huge number of bookings that took place on the day of launch of the car was based simply on the fact that this was a completely Indian car. I'm sure I will not be wrong in speculating that those who bought their Indicas at that moment today regret their decision. The Indica is now a long way away from being the First complete India car that it started out being. Today, the Indica is the ruler in the Diesel small car segment with littl...

Tata Indigo Review
Posted on:- Jun 07 2007 : Tata Indigo TDi
This car had lit up the Indian car scene well before its launch. Buyers showed interest in the car since the time when it was merely a concept called Aria. A frugal turbocharged intercooled diesel engine, a comfortable set of seats, great value for money (VFM) and reliability. The recipe couldn't have been simpler; they took the Indica, extended the wheelbase by a bit, added a boot and called it the Indigo! Is that it? Well, lets find out.
Design and styling
The design and styling of this car is quite basically the Indica with a boot, but there's more to it. Al...

Tata Safari Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Tata Safari
The Tata Safari has been symbolic of the Indian SUV market. Initially, it shared the same chassis and suspension as its cousins, the Sierra, the Sumo and so on. Its a bit of an old dog, this car and in the world-manufacturing scene, cars are usually replaced by the time they are as old as the safari.
Design and interiors
The Safari still holds that big, macho SUV image. It continues its high stance with a rather long bonnet; it exudes ruggedness; even in the face of its rather more timid looking clear lens headlamps and some extra chrome that has gone into its anti-age...

Tata Indigo Marina Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : Tata Indigo Marina
Indigo marina is that car which has entered a segment that was long lost and conceived as some kind of a marketing goof up, after the lack of success of the Palio adventure, siena weekend, baleno altura, tata estate and so on. But, Tata aimed at changing all that with this; it aimed at implementing a tried and tested formula, a tried and tested engine, easy on the pocket efficiency and easier still price. The prospect of offering SUV space at Saloon car price; a diesel heart and reliable build; excellent recipe I would say.
Design and interiors
The design princi...

Tata Indica V2 Xeta Review
Posted on:- Jun 07 2007 : Tata Indica V2 Xeta
Forget the tacky "We want a sizzling hottie who would like to get naughty" ad, the Indica Xeta is way more than some hippie wannabe girls somewhere in goa! Tata Indica V2 Xeta now puts its foot firmly in Maruti territory; only the Hyundai Santro has been able to break the bear like grip of maruti on this segment; so what does the Indica Xeta have that others don't?
The New, improved Indica Xeta. XETA standing for eXtra fuel Efficiency, Torque Advantage engine. Tata claims to have made significant changes to its 1405cc block; except slightly decrease the stroke and hence the di...
