TATA Indica hatchback.........refreshed!

[nickatnite]

I like the lighter colored dash better!....

Hmm.. I don't know if guys would agree with me or not. But I am going to compare Indica's dashboard with Revo's. Indica's dashboard just like Revo is pretty simple, no unnecessary lines, curves etc. and also the quality of the material used looks pretty same. But the difference is that the Indians went for a more conventional design and the Pakistanis tried to do more than what was required. Different is not always better.

Good pictures nickatnite. (Y)

@nightsurfer...
Agreed(y)

Its similar...but the difference is that this is better!

@nick...This model is turbocharged?

Gimme specs!!

[PavementPounder]

@ gem_guy

I guess it is turbo diesel (water cooled type turbo).

[gem_guy]

disappointing...

SPECS?

[PavementPounder]

@ gem_guy

no idea bout the specs

wait for @nickatnite's reply......

[nightsurfer]

Yes, the interior certainly looks better. Tata must have done their home work properly before launching it. The best thing about this car is the price. I mean 5lakh Pakistani is pretty good for a top model diesel car.

[gem_guy]

Certainly looks better than Mehran inside and out!...

And i bet it drives better too!....
Hats off to TATA and Indian Auto Industry!

[UsmanAnsari]

front is nice, interior is cool & simple but back isnt impressive to me.... but phleez for God sake dont compare the interior with Revo!!!!

thanx nick

Export Market Indica specs?

[nickatnite]

TATA Indigo XL.....I opened up a separate thread for that model earlier...but i'll post pics my cousin emailed me here....the Indian Govt. i hear, will purchase this car for it's Consular staff worldwide(wherever TATA will ship them) so you'll probably see one in Islamabad soon, maybe??...anyways , here's da pics.......

[nickatnite]

[gem_guy]

poor Consular staff...Coming down from probably a Lancer or Mercedes to an indica

Whats the Hp rating of export quality maal??

[nickatnite]

[nickatnite]

gem_guy

lol!.I think it has to do with national symbols, be it cars or somethin' else!!.This is to be used as staff cars, not for the higher ranks.The Indian Govt. will be actually saving money if they follow through with this idea and TATA will get free publicity too.A little bit , atleast.

As far as export Indicas, it varies by market.In December, 4098 Indicas were exported!.That's not bad at all!.The Spanish version has the same engine but with 1605cc and 98 to 107 bhp.The South African market Indica has a 1405cc engine and 78bhp.To give you an idea!

[nickatnite]

Lotsa space in the XL....!

[gem_guy]

Yea i know what u're talking about!..Good for Tata and indian patriotism!

[nickatnite]

Indigo XL

[nickatnite]

The huge trunk in the XL......Any comments on this effort by TATA Motor??!...
