Tata Indica 2015 Review

Tata Motors was founded in 1945 as ‘Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company’. In the beginning and for a long time after that, this company manufactured TELCO commercial trucks. Tata Motors has come a long way since then, with facilities both in India and abroad. Today we will discuss the Tata Indica, which was one of the reasons for the success of the Tata Motor Company. The Tata Indica is a car that has captured many hearts over the course of two generations. This car was originally manufactured in 1998. So, the 2015 Tata Indica 2nd Generation is the vehicle that CarsGuide is examining today.

Exterior Design

Let’s start with the exterior of the Tata Indica, which is the first thing people notice when they see a vehicle. The Tata logo can be seen in the middle of the chrome front grill. Fog lights and automated headlamps are examples of front lighting.

There is also a windshield wiper and two windshield washers. A vented disc brake type is used at the front. We notice a stylish appearance as soon as we glance at the front of this car.

We can notice 13-inch alloy wheels from the side view. The body color of the vehicle may be seen through the door handles and side mirrors. There are four windows with power controls. The Tata Indica is equipped with a centralized locking mechanism. The vehicle’s length is 3660 mm.

When it comes to the Tata Indica’s rear design, the Tata emblem can be found in the middle of the tailgate. A windshield wiper has yet to arrive. Drum brakes are used in the rear. There is a trunk opener with a remote.

The Tata Indica is a hatchback and has been assigned with an average ground clearance based on the segment to which it belongs. In the hatchback sector, the average ground clearance required for the Tata Indica is 168 mm. The Indica, on the other hand, has a ground clearance of 165 mm.

The boot of the Indica has a capacity of 215 liters. However, we can fold the rear seats to extend the boot size to 610 liters if necessary.

Interior Design

Even though a car appears to be of excellent quality on the exterior, it is meaningless if the interior lacks similar design. So, let’s see if the Tata Indica’s outside and interior have been built as planned.

There are two fabric seats in the driver’s compartment of the Tata Indica, and are comfortable for both the driver and the front passenger. The driver’s seat cannot be modified in height. The driver compartment has a reasonable amount of leg and headroom in general.

This car has a 12 Volt power outlet, a USB connector, and an audio system with four built-in speakers. The steering wheel is adjustable. This vehicle also includes a Silver metallic center console, a silver tip gear knob, and a Front cabin light with a Spot light.

The passenger cabin has three fabric seats, with no middle armrest. In addition, there are no air conditioning vents in the passenger cabin, and space is insufficient for a tall individual. However, adequate leg and headroom has been added for the average individual.

Performance

The Tata Indica has a 1396 cc engine. Diesel is the fuel type. This engine produces 69 horsepower. And the torque available is 140 Nm.

This vehicle’s engine is coupled to a manual transmission. Front wheel drive is specified.
From 0 to 100 km/h, this vehicle takes 15.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 160 km/h. It uses 6 liters of fuel every 100 kilometers. So, because this vehicle’s fuel tank capacity is 37 gallons, you can travel 616 kilometers on this capacity.

Ride Quality

When it comes to the ride of the Tata Indica, the steering wheel allows you to drive effortlessly and comfortably
It can turn in a small area because of its turning radius of 4.9 m. So, overall, the Tata Indica provides us with a comfortable ride.

Safety & Technology

When we buy a vehicle, we consider safety in a variety of ways. Let’s have a look at how Tata Indica was designed with safety in mind.
There are no airbags in this.

Side impact beams, front impact beams, and an engine immobilizer are among the safety features available on the Tata Indica. The high-mounted stop lamp is also an advanced safety feature.

The Tata Indica lacks safety features such as ABS, EBD, Brake assist, Day and night rear view mirror, Xenon headlamps, Traction control, Tire pressure monitor, and Stability control system.

According to these facts, the Tata Indica gets a three-star safety rating.
