Luxuriously comfortable. Longwheel base. Stylish and elegant. Reasonably priced. Great performance. Adequate legroom. Evident body roll. Wheels look smaller.

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 in three body-styles - sedan, station wagon and estate, in petrol as well as diesel versions. It comes in four variants: the Grand Petrol, Classic Petrol, Grand Dicor and Classic Dicor. The Grand Petrol and Classic Petrol are its petrol versions while Grand Dicor and Classic Dicor run on diesel. The Classic variants have just been introduced to the market.

The Indigo XL comes with a choice of two new advanced 1.4-litre engines; a petrol and another Dicor diesel engine.

Performance is great with the 1.4L petrol engine, which is a dual-cam unit breathing through 16 valves, generating 100 bhp of power @ 6,100 rpm and 124 Nm of torque @ 3,500 rpm. The 1.4 DICOR delivers 69 bhp of power @ 4,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 140 Nm @ 1,800-3,000 rpm.

The TATA engineers have brainstormed to design this long wheelbase machine, which generously allows its rear passengers to stretch themselves without restraint. The 200 mm increase in its wheelbase comes as a welcome change, offering a comfortable ride to the rear passengers.

To account for the increased length of the Indigo XL, its torsional rigidity has also been enhanced. The same suspension set-up has been retained matching that of its predecessors, the Indigo and the Marina. The front wheels are mated with independent McPherson Struts with coil springs and anti-roll bar, while the rear wheels have 3-link McPherson Struts with anti-roll bar.

Handling has been improved with rack and pinion steering accompanied by a collapsible steering column. Riding on its tubeless tyres are 9-spoke, 14-inch alloy wheels that add to the muscular touch.

With a wheelbase of 2,650 mm, extended by 200 mm over the current sedan, the Indigo XL comes with expanded interiors and stretched legroom. The 6-way powered front seats with lumbar support and a separate rear air-conditioner with independent controls make the XL a luxury car in its segment. Foldable armrest with cup-holders and an independent rear air-conditioning unit with blower speed controls are part of luxury features at the rear, accompanied by bench-type seating.

European leather adorns the rear seat along with shades of wood in dual-tone interiors. A new soft-feel wood and leather combo steering wheel and one-touch power windows complete the comfort experience.

The model comes operational with a DVD based 4-speaker integrated entertainment system, and for those long drives, the rear passengers get the advantage of headrest-mounted twin LCD screens. The Indigo XL also comes equipped with a car phone with blue-tooth connectivity. A 12V socket in the rear console enables electronic equipment to be charged.

Built-in immobiliser with remote keyless entry, central locking and anti-theft system are the standard safety features of all the variants. Above 1,500 rpm, the doors have auto-locking facility. Anti-submarine front seats, child safety locks and seat belts are some more features available in all the four variants.

State-of-the-Art Instrument Cluster with Chrome Rings. Automatic Gradient Climb Assist. Interior Fit and Finish, Ride quality.

After being the most compact sedan in India in the form of Indigo CS for almost two years, folks at Tata brought out the refurbished and faclifted Indigo e-CS. This mid-size entry segment car from Tata has been built on the company's existing Indigo platform and comes as a successor to the Indigo CS with a host of exciting features.

Tata Motors claims that the Indigo e-CS which has already entered the streets with a fresh benchmark is the most fuel efficient sedan in India. Both petrol and diesel variants of the e-CS comply with the new BS IV emission norms.

Along with an upgrade in the engine, the Indigo e-CS gets some fresh new look on the exteriors with an all-new front grille, headlamps, and ORVM with blinkers. The new features coupled with the existing ones make the Indigo e-CS absolutely stunning and a head turner. The e-CS comes in a range of four attractive colours and four variants: the MPFI petrol base eGLS and eGLX version equipped with petrol engines and LX and LS version equipped with CR4 diesel engines.

The new Indigo e-CS, which is based on the Indigo platform, is offered in two engine options - petrol and a diesel. While the petrol variant Indigo e-CS comes equipped with MPFI 1.2 litre petrol engine with 32-bit microprocessor BS4 emission compliant and 16-valve, the diesel variant comes with a BS4 emission compliant 1.4 litre DOHC Common Rail Diesel engine. The petrol variant of the e-CS churns out a maximum power output 64 bhp @ 5000 RPM, and the diesel mill gives a powerful performance of 69 bhp @ 4000 RPM. Both the engines are aptly paired with a 5 Speed manual transmission gearbox.

The e-CS has the support of being the most fuel efficient sedan in India. The 1.4-litre diesel engine sedan from Tata Motors boasts of an ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure of 23.03 kmpl. With independent McPherson strut with coil spring at the front and independent 3 link McPherson strut with antiroll bar at the back, the new sedan seems pretty smooth on the roads.

The new sedan offering from Tata Motors gets a new satin finish grille design, new headlamps, body coloured bumpers with fog lamps, new alloy wheels and body coloured ORVMs with integrated indicators. Also we have now chrome inserts on the rub. Additionally the rearview mirrors get electric adjustment.

The dual tone beige interiors of the fabric and the dashboard immediately make you feel at ease. Tata has tried to lure the new age corporate executives with the inclusion of Bluetooth enabled music system with AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback/ auxiliary input, and electrical controls for ORVMs in the Indigo e-CS. The standard features from the Indigo CS, power steering and power windows for both front and rear windows, are also available in the new sedan. The steering wheel has a sporty feel to it and the gear shift knob is leather-wrapped. Power steering is standard across the variants.

You cannot ignore the stylish new instrument panel with chrome rings featuring Low level fuel & high coolant temperature indicator. The air conditioning works wonders and keeps the interior cool and fresh.

The new Tata Indigo e-CS comes equipped with the latest safety features. While central locking and child safety locks on rear doors are standard features, features like rear defogger and audio warning for driver's seat belt, key in and door-open warning are available on the higher end variants. An exclusive feature of this car is Automatic Gradient Climb Assist.

The new features coupled with the existing ones make the Indigo e-CS absolutely stunning and a head turner. The car comes in a range of four colours as 2 variants: the MPFI petrol base eGLS version, and the top-end eLX version of the CR4 diesel.

The Indigo CS is offered in 12 variants including the e-CS, LE, LS, LS DiCOR, LX TDI, and LX DiCOR in diesel and GLE, GLS, and GLX in petrol. The petrol variants come equipped with a 64 bhp 1.2-litre multi-point fuel injection in-line 4 engine and the diesel variants get either a 1.4-litre turbocharged or same size DiCOR diesel engine that delivers an output of 69 bhp. With minimal engine noise and vibration, the performance of the sedan is acceptable. All variants come with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The wheelbase of the Indigo CS is exactly the same as its parent model Indigo sedan and as such the ride quality of both the cars is nearly the same. The independent front and rear McPherson strut suspension systems ensure a smooth ride even on tough roads. The reduced length of the Indigo CS makes parking easy and city driving more enjoyable.

The exterior is adorned by a classy chrome grille, body coloured bumpers (LS, GLS and LS DiCOR) and black bumpers (LE and GLE), well positioned dual-beam headlights and taillight cluster. All variants ride on the 14"steel wheels with 165/65 R14 radial tires (LE and GLE) and 175/65 R14 radial tires (LS and GLS). The LS and GLS get full wheel covers.

The interior gives a good feel that's typical of C segment sedans. The petrol and diesel versions get unique interior trim options. Petrol variants are available with quite beige interiors whereas the diesel variants get sporty black upholstery. The steering wheel has a sporty look and the gear shift knob is leather-wrapped. Power steering comes only with the higher end LS and GLS variants. The instrument cluster comes with a very useful light intensity adjustment feature.

The partial fabric covered seats on the Indigo CS are quite comfortable. The front seats, being anti-submarine type, keep the driver and front passenger from sliding forward in case of hard braking or minor road accidents. The double folding backrest on the rear seat offers additional luggage space. The air conditioning system on the car is quite powerful. Higher-end LS and GLS variants get a more efficient HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and AC) system.

The new Tata Indigo e-CS has got a variety of new interior and exterior features. While the exterior is now adorned with a new front grill with a satin finish, there are new headlamps and ORVM too. Enhancing the look of the new sedan are body coloured bumpers and chrome inserts on the rub rails. The new Indigo e-CS also gets new white alloy wheels. The new sedan gives you a plush feel with its dual tone beige interior and dashboard. Also featuring are a new Bluetooth enabled music system and electrical controls for ORVMs.

Turbocharged engine. Attractive pillarless rear end. Electronic Instrument Cluster with Engine RPM meter. Good styling. Plenty of cargo room. Diesel engine is fuel efficient. Transmission needs fine tuning.

The Tata Indigo Marina is the Estate version of the Indigo label. It is based on the Tata Indica model and was launched in 2004. The 2005 model also received lots of updates and now in 2007, the new Indigo Marina is more refined. Its pillar-less rear is distinct with stretched taillights.

The Marina was launched in the station wagon segment. It has a good pulling capability, thanks to the turbocharged diesel. Indigo’s wheelbase has been stretched for the Marina; its suspension has also been changed. It has been modified into all independent, and stiffened slightly to take extra load. It is dampened by gas-filled dampers.

The Indigo Marina is shorter and heavier than the Indigo sedan, so its brakes have been improved for shortening the stopping distance. The interiors resemble the Indica family, as everything has been borrowed from the Indica and the Indigo sedan. The Marina comes in five variants: GLS, GLX, LS, LX, and LX DiCOR. It is a car that has the luxury of a sedan and cargo space of a Multi-Utility Vehicle.

The Marina gets a choice of two engines, a 1.4-litre 84 bhp petrol or 1.4-litre 69 bhp diesel. The 1.4-litre Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPFI), with 32-bit microprocessor, pumps out 84 bhp @ 5,500 rpm and the maximum torque delivered is 108 Nm @ 3,000 rpm. The engine pulls quite satisfactorily but since its peak power is delivered at high rpms, it is a high revving engine. It is also noisy at high revs. It extends a litre of petrol to 9 kms in city drive.

The diesel power plant is fed by turbocharger and the turbo hits at 2,000 rpm but does not come over turbo lag. It needs more down-shifting in city driving but cruises well and has good passing power. Turbocharged 1.4L Indirect Injection engine reaches the maximum power of 69 bhp @ 4,500 rpm and delivers peak torque of 132 Nm @ 2,500 rpm. This engine is more economical as it makes 12 kms in the city and 16 kms on the highway. Shifting has always been a problem with the Tata gearbox. It is the same Indica gearbox that has been used in the Marina, which has been refined constantly.

The suspension displacement is more, giving the Marina a comfortable ride on bad roads. The assembly of front independent, lower wishbone, McPherson Strut with anti-roll bar, and rear independent, 3-link, McPherson Strut with anti-roll bar and gas-filled dampers is soft and has large displacement. This combination gives more body roll in tight cornering. Carefree driving is a bit of a problem as the steering is not precise. It is a good car for a matured driver. Even the fully cargo loaded car has good stopping distance, thanks to the vacuum assisted dual circuit  front disc and rear drum setup.

The Marina is an extended Indica; the exterior styling with roof rails, integrated glass house, sparkling taillights that run till the roof and clear head lamps give the Marina a contemporary look. All the trims get body-coloured bumpers that give an executive feel to the station wagon. The black window frame and B-pillar merge with tinted glasses for better aesthetics. The Marina runs on the same stretched wheelbase of the Indigo, but its overall length is 5 mm shorter than that of the latter. The stretched hatch has space for 670 litres of cargo and with the rear seats folded flat, the cargo space extends to 1,370 litres. There are enough pockets and storage space on the door and the dash.

The low roof ensures easy loading of luggage for short passengers. The car looks planted but its front looks exceptionally good. The lift gate opens almost straight, allowing easy entry and exit. Some of the standard features include bumpers, chrome-plated grille lip, roof rails, rub rails on doors, tinted door glasses, full wheel covers, digital clock, electronic instrument cluster with engine RPM meter; digital odometer, two digital trip meters, front windshield wiper with intermittent variable delay feature, full floor console with power socket (front and rear), internal antenna, light intensity adjustment for instrument cluster, low level fuel indicator, high coolant temperature indicator, luggage retention net, rear seat with double folding facility, retractable luggage cover and trunk lamp.

Safety features on the Marina include adjustable head rests for all five passengers, anti-submarine type front seats, child safety locks on rear doors, collapsible steering column, headlamp leveling device, rear spoiler with integrated brake light, seat belts and side impact beams.

Even the fully cargo loaded car has good stopping distance, thanks to the vacuum assisted dual circuit  front disc and rear drum setup.

The Marina is an extended Indica; the exterior styling with roof rails, integrated glass house, sparkling taillights that run till the roof and clear head lamps give the Marina a contemporary look. All the trims get body-coloured bumpers that give an executive feel to the station wagon. The black window frame and B-pillar merge with tinted glasses for better aesthetics. The Marina runs on the same stretched wheelbase of the Indigo, but its overall length is 5 mm shorter than that of the latter. The stretched hatch has space for 670 litres of cargo and with the rear seats folded flat, the cargo space extends to 1,370 litres. There are enough pockets and storage space on the door and the dash.

The low roof ensures easy loading of luggage for short passengers. The car looks planted but its front looks exceptionally good. The lift gate opens almost straight, allowing easy entry and exit. Some of the standard features include bumpers, chrome-plated grille lip, roof rails, rub rails on doors, tinted door glasses, full wheel covers, digital clock, electronic instrument cluster with engine RPM meter; digital odometer, two digital trip meters, front windshield wiper with intermittent variable delay feature, full floor console with power socket (front and rear), internal antenna, light intensity adjustment for instrument cluster, low level fuel indicator, high coolant temperature indicator, luggage retention net, rear seat with double folding facility, retractable luggage cover and trunk lamp.

Stylish look. Performance. Quiet engine. Comfort. Fuel efficiency. Affordable.

After having the most compact sedan, Indigo CS reign the Indian roads for almost two years, Tata Motors has let out yet another mid-size segment car in the country. The Indigo e-CS has been built on the company's existing Indigo platform and comes as a successor to the Indigo CS with a host of exciting features. Tata Motors claims that the Indigo e-CS which has already entered the streets with a fresh benchmark is the most fuel efficient sedan in India. Both petrol and diesel variants of the e-CS comply with the new BS IV emission norms.

Along with an upgrade in the engine, the Indigo e-CS gets some fresh new look on the exteriors with an all-new front grille, headlamps, and ORVM with blinkers. The new features coupled with the existing ones make the Indigo e-CS absolutely stunning and a head turner. The car comes in a range of four colours as 2 variants: the MPFI petrol base eGLS version, and the top-end eLX version of the CR4 diesel.

The Indigo CS is offered in 12 variants including the e-CS, LE, LS, LS DiCOR, LX TDI, and LX DiCOR in diesel and GLE, GLS, and GLX in petrol. The petrol variants come equipped with a 64 bhp 1.2-litre multi-point fuel injection in-line 4 engine and the diesel variants get either a 1.4-litre turbocharged or same size DiCOR diesel engine that delivers an output of 69 bhp. With minimal engine noise and vibration, the performance of the sedan is acceptable. All variants come with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The wheelbase of the Indigo CS is exactly the same as its parent model Indigo sedan and as such the ride quality of both the cars is nearly the same. The independent front and rear McPherson strut suspension systems ensure a smooth ride even on tough roads. The reduced length of the Indigo CS makes parking easy and city driving more enjoyable.

The exterior is adorned by a classy chrome grille, body coloured bumpers (LS, GLS and LS DiCOR) and black bumpers (LE and GLE), well positioned dual-beam headlights and taillight cluster. All variants ride on the 14"steel wheels with 165/65 R14 radial tires (LE and GLE) and 175/65 R14 radial tires (LS and GLS). The LS and GLS get full wheel covers.

The interior gives a good feel that's typical of C segment sedans. The petrol and diesel versions get unique interior trim options. Petrol variants are available with quite beige interiors whereas the diesel variants get sporty black upholstery. The steering wheel has a sporty look and the gear shift knob is leather-wrapped. Power steering comes only with the higher end LS and GLS variants. The instrument cluster comes with a very useful light intensity adjustment feature.

The partial fabric covered seats on the Indigo CS are quite comfortable. The front seats, being anti-submarine type, keep the driver and front passenger from sliding forward in case of hard braking or minor road accidents. The double folding backrest on the rear seat offers additional luggage space. The air conditioning system on the car is quite powerful. Higher-end LS and GLS variants get a more efficient HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and AC) system.

The new Tata Indigo e-CS has got a variety of new interior and exterior features. While the exterior is now adorned with a new front grill with a satin finish, there are new headlamps and ORVM too. Enhancing the look of the new sedan are body coloured bumpers and chrome inserts on the rub rails. The new Indigo e-CS also gets new white alloy wheels. The new sedan gives you a plush feel with its dual tone beige interior and dashboard. Also featuring are a new Bluetooth enabled music system and electrical controls for ORVMs.

Luxuriously comfortable. Longwheel base. Stylish and elegant. Reasonably priced. Great performance. Adequate legroom. Evident body roll. Wheels look smaller.

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 in three body-styles - sedan, station wagon and estate, in petrol as well as diesel versions. It comes in four variants: the Grand Petrol, Classic Petrol, Grand Dicor and Classic Dicor. The Grand Petrol and Classic Petrol are its petrol versions while Grand Dicor and Classic Dicor run on diesel. The Classic variants have just been introduced to the market.

The Indigo XL comes with a choice of two new advanced 1.4-litre engines; a petrol and another Dicor diesel engine.

Performance is great with the 1.4L petrol engine, which is a dual-cam unit breathing through 16 valves, generating 100 bhp of power @ 6,100 rpm and 124 Nm of torque @ 3,500 rpm. The 1.4 DICOR delivers 69 bhp of power @ 4,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 140 Nm @ 1,800-3,000 rpm.

The TATA engineers have brainstormed to design this long wheelbase machine, which generously allows its rear passengers to stretch themselves without restraint. The 200 mm increase in its wheelbase comes as a welcome change, offering a comfortable ride to the rear passengers.

To account for the increased length of the Indigo XL, its torsional rigidity has also been enhanced. The same suspension set-up has been retained matching that of its predecessors, the Indigo and the Marina. The front wheels are mated with independent McPherson Struts with coil springs and anti-roll bar, while the rear wheels have 3-link McPherson Struts with anti-roll bar.

Handling has been improved with rack and pinion steering accompanied by a collapsible steering column. Riding on its tubeless tyres are 9-spoke, 14-inch alloy wheels that add to the muscular touch.

With a wheelbase of 2,650 mm, extended by 200 mm over the current sedan, the Indigo XL comes with expanded interiors and stretched legroom. The 6-way powered front seats with lumbar support and a separate rear air-conditioner with independent controls make the XL a luxury car in its segment. Foldable armrest with cup-holders and an independent rear air-conditioning unit with blower speed controls are part of luxury features at the rear, accompanied by bench-type seating.

European leather adorns the rear seat along with shades of wood in dual-tone interiors. A new soft-feel wood and leather combo steering wheel and one-touch power windows complete the comfort experience.

The model comes operational with a DVD based 4-speaker integrated entertainment system, and for those long drives, the rear passengers get the advantage of headrest-mounted twin LCD screens. The Indigo XL also comes equipped with a car phone with blue-tooth connectivity. A 12V socket in the rear console enables electronic equipment to be charged.

Built-in immobiliser with remote keyless entry, central locking and anti-theft system are the standard safety features of all the variants. Above 1,500 rpm, the doors have auto-locking facility. Anti-submarine front seats, child safety locks and seat belts are some more features available in all the four variants.

Turbocharged engine. Attractive pillarless rear end. Electronic Instrument Cluster with Engine RPM meter. Good styling. Plenty of cargo room. Diesel engine is fuel efficient. Transmission needs fine tuning.

The Tata Indigo Marina is the Estate version of the Indigo label. It is based on the Tata Indica model and was launched in 2004. The 2005 model also received lots of updates and now in 2007, the new Indigo Marina is more refined. Its pillar-less rear is distinct with stretched taillights.

The Marina was launched in the station wagon segment. It has a good pulling capability, thanks to the turbocharged diesel. Indigo’s wheelbase has been stretched for the Marina; its suspension has also been changed. It has been modified into all independent, and stiffened slightly to take extra load. It is dampened by gas-filled dampers.

The Indigo Marina is shorter and heavier than the Indigo sedan, so its brakes have been improved for shortening the stopping distance. The interiors resemble the Indica family, as everything has been borrowed from the Indica and the Indigo sedan. The Marina comes in five variants: GLS, GLX, LS, LX, and LX DiCOR. It is a car that has the luxury of a sedan and cargo space of a Multi-Utility Vehicle.

The Marina gets a choice of two engines, a 1.4-litre 84 bhp petrol or 1.4-litre 69 bhp diesel. The 1.4-litre Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPFI), with 32-bit microprocessor, pumps out 84 bhp @ 5,500 rpm and the maximum torque delivered is 108 Nm @ 3,000 rpm. The engine pulls quite satisfactorily but since its peak power is delivered at high rpms, it is a high revving engine. It is also noisy at high revs. It extends a litre of petrol to 9 kms in city drive.

The diesel power plant is fed by turbocharger and the turbo hits at 2,000 rpm but does not come over turbo lag. It needs more down-shifting in city driving but cruises well and has good passing power. Turbocharged 1.4L Indirect Injection engine reaches the maximum power of 69 bhp @ 4,500 rpm and delivers peak torque of 132 Nm @ 2,500 rpm. This engine is more economical as it makes 12 kms in the city and 16 kms on the highway. Shifting has always been a problem with the Tata gearbox. It is the same Indica gearbox that has been used in the Marina, which has been refined constantly.

The suspension displacement is more, giving the Marina a comfortable ride on bad roads. The assembly of front independent, lower wishbone, McPherson Strut with anti-roll bar, and rear independent, 3-link, McPherson Strut with anti-roll bar and gas-filled dampers is soft and has large displacement. This combination gives more body roll in tight cornering. Carefree driving is a bit of a problem as the steering is not precise. It is a good car for a matured driver. Even the fully cargo loaded car has good stopping distance, thanks to the vacuum assisted dual circuit  front disc and rear drum setup.

The Marina is an extended Indica; the exterior styling with roof rails, integrated glass house, sparkling taillights that run till the roof and clear head lamps give the Marina a contemporary look. All the trims get body-coloured bumpers that give an executive feel to the station wagon. The black window frame and B-pillar merge with tinted glasses for better aesthetics. The Marina runs on the same stretched wheelbase of the Indigo, but its overall length is 5 mm shorter than that of the latter. The stretched hatch has space for 670 litres of cargo and with the rear seats folded flat, the cargo space extends to 1,370 litres. There are enough pockets and storage space on the door and the dash.

The low roof ensures easy loading of luggage for short passengers. The car looks planted but its front looks exceptionally good. The lift gate opens almost straight, allowing easy entry and exit. Some of the standard features include bumpers, chrome-plated grille lip, roof rails, rub rails on doors, tinted door glasses, full wheel covers, digital clock, electronic instrument cluster with engine RPM meter; digital odometer, two digital trip meters, front windshield wiper with intermittent variable delay feature, full floor console with power socket (front and rear), internal antenna, light intensity adjustment for instrument cluster, low level fuel indicator, high coolant temperature indicator, luggage retention net, rear seat with double folding facility, retractable luggage cover and trunk lamp.

Safety features on the Marina include adjustable head rests for all five passengers, anti-submarine type front seats, child safety locks on rear doors, collapsible steering column, headlamp leveling device, rear spoiler with integrated brake light, seat belts and side impact beams.
