Tata Indica V2. Review on Tata Indica V2

Those car manufacturers who have small cars in the B segment had better watch out – the all new Tata Indica V2 is posing hot competition. It looks just like it’s predecessor and all changes are virtually unnoticeable, but get behind the wheel, shift into first gear, jam the accelerator pedal and the differences are overwhelming. This is one car that rocks. You have a vehicle that stays what it is come what may. This car offers good ride quality, whose handling is impressive, whose steering is precise and gives a tremendous feel. The new Indica V2 comes in both petrol and diesel variants; both engines offering a whopping 1400 cc of power that remains unmatched in its class.

A number of adjustments in the A and B pillars have given more room, especially to the much needed back seat passengers. The dashboard comes with a new trim material that is visually very appealing. The petrol engine has had its electronics reprogrammed and greater emphasis has been given to drivability and fuel efficiency. The engine delivers seamless power without any interruptions that make its handling and control worth a lot. The diesel engine has been built to stand greater tolerances. It has ventilated 7-inch diameter brake boosters as well. The quality of gear shifts, clutch pedal pressure, superb weighted feel of the steering and great brakes coupled with a powerful engine makes it the best selling car in its segment. Another important enhancement on the new Indica V2 is that its built to accept14-inch wheels.

The entire package is every bit exciting. People who earlier shunned this car will do well to get behind its wheels and vouch all the more for it. It offers an unparalleled 74 BHP at close to 5500 rpm and its kerb weight closes in on less than a ton. Safety has also been spruced up offering a great deal of passenger safety comforts including dual airbags. All this comes at an impressive price tag of less than 4.25 lacs. It is very powerful, passionate and indeed very potent (so goes the ad) and you would do well were you to hook up with it.
