Tata Indica Vista Review

Post Page Rank

At last Tata Motors introduced their all new Indica Vista on August 23rd at the recent Auto show. They made lotz of changes in in both design and in performance. To compare with the older version of Indica,the interior is very much different.The new interior is somewhat similar to Chevrolet Spark.And the length and height has been increased. And bout the engine…… its none other than 75 BHP fiat

The interior of INDICA VISTA…….its really nice!!!!!!!!

Now people have the choice to settle by using the same engine in three different cars, Maruti Swift, Fiat Multijet,Indica Vista. Obviously there will be a healthy competition between these cars. But in the case of we have to wait little more time to test drive the car. The main problem Tata is facing is that, their customers are not at all satisfied with their previous products. They were not 100% perfect. Tata Motors just want to establish as the no 1 seller.

The price ranges from Rs.3.49 lakhs ex-showroom Delhi for the 1.2L petrol Safire at the low end going upto Rs.4.88 lakhs ex-showroom Delhi for the top end 1.3L VistaQuadrajet. The Indica Vista TDi version comes at nearly the same price as the outgoing existing Indica V2 version.And also is available in 7 colours.And about mileage will give in a range of 18-20km per litre for the diesel version.

But in the case of  Indica Vista am very much interested because I think they tried to make some difference in their quality. Definitely  will have a healthy competition with Maruti Swift . Tata vehicles are very noisy and their vibration is something like we traveling in train over here. So the first question people may ask is , Is Vista will be as silent as Swift????……

Lets hope that this new born baby will make some kinda cracks in other cars.. And I will surely update this review after test drive of all new ……

our first family car used to be a tata estate which was the king of the roads and the first step by tata at a passenger car.

They obvious had problems with the engine noise (clue: truck) and glaring panel gaps in the body.

With the indica it was a big leap and i am dead sure the vista will not live up to the name created by microsoft. it will be nice and good one to own ;)

And its cheaper than the swift and tatas are known for their cheap spares.

nice comparison….

#6 Roms on 10.01.08 at 3:00 pm

the tata folks are trying to create a brand something to stature which was once enjoyed by maruti zen.
It nice to see that they are improving but then again the competiton is also coming good, so i don’t believe that this vehicle will capture the market the way swift diesel did.

#7 Anish on 10.01.08 at 3:34 pm

the new interior feels like… atlast tata is realizing what people want..vista has got nice looks + better engine (way better the old indica…phewwwwwwwwww…) good review dude… i never knew these facts …..

Console is moved to centre so that they can have same model for both Indian and export market (left hand side drive)- A cost cutting initiative and driver will have to divert his attention to look at the console.

Top end is 1.4 litre I guess.

Hey Vineeth

That’s some good stuff there. I confess I don’t know much about cars, but I can see that you’ve done some serious research on the matter. Good work. Well, at least I can vouch for one thing. The Tata Indigo that we’ve is more at the service and less at the parking lot. So I guess that speaks for itself. And let’s hope the Indica Vista turns out to be remarkable.

#11 TheAnand on 10.01.08 at 8:26 pm

@ Kenney, vista was tarnished by MS…..now tata will set the name right ;) thats all i meant.

#12 Riji on 10.01.08 at 10:30 pm

Hi Vineeth
Thanks for the all round analysis. Keep it up.

#13 Midhun on 10.02.08 at 10:57 am

Tata is always tata………… I dont think that vista ever come as good as SWIFT…………

#14 SAF on 10.02.08 at 11:18 am

My first car to use was Maruthi 800, after 5years of use we bought a Tata Indica V2 DLG. To be frank, my father who have ride Lexus high class to BMW 75X series and benz high ends (he is in to general services, not a manager ;-) ) what he says is, he is a big fan of Indica what we are using for its heavy stearing and excellent space. :-)
You know what, I too am so in touch with that car as I am the one who use it the most, now my mother even my uncle take it for a lavish trip.
About the sound, I personally dont feel that junky sound from insidee the vehicle, but outside its noisy.
I dont think there is any other car with such leg space and heavy stearing as Indica (atleast the V2 series and petrol series), not even swift or toyota corrolla :-) (i have tested)
;-)
Hope its new series will keep up the standard.

#15 JMJ on 10.02.08 at 5:09 pm

one big difference I have noticed with Indian cars is the quality of the Interiors…they feel and look cheap (well what do you expect for what you pay?) hopefully Tata will catch up with its association with Jaguar.

#16 SAF on 10.02.08 at 6:21 pm

@JMJ, interior of all cars are average, but never less.
I really suspect about the Jaguar tie up, Tata-Jaguar & Range Rover is really gonna get flopp, as thats the market. But lets see what new strategy the tie up is bringing.

Con about the new Indica Vista is tat, it lacks fog lamps and rear fog defrozer. :-) No additional packups like audio system and leather seats or dash board.
Its a new body design with a new engine. Thats all (I meant no other addons).

#17 TheAnand on 10.02.08 at 6:48 pm

@ SAF, are you sure about not getting the addons? I remember seeing the full option car which had all those you mentioned. not sure about the leather seats.

#18 SAF on 10.04.08 at 12:25 pm

@Anand,
I heard so, after all not sure if its official announcement. Logically thinking i believe it is fake, coz they have to keep the standard as previous one right. Or else its going to be reall sporty to avoid many addons.
Lets wait for the official brochure.

#19 SAF on 10.05.08 at 12:06 pm

@Anand,
What I heard was absoluteley wrong, did you watch the advertisement? tHere are foglamps (the small one), not sure about the defrozer.

#20 SAF on 10.05.08 at 12:10 pm

This is said to be the official brochure

#21 TheAnand on 10.05.08 at 6:05 pm

Yes, That is the one I got…I had gone to a roadside display of the indica (not vista) and they gave me this thing. I remember seeing, but had an element of doubt. :)

But the only thing I currently have for the swift is its resale value which unlike the indica is good.

#22 SAF on 10.05.08 at 6:43 pm

Since vista is with fiat collaboration and considering fiat’s resale value, I believe vista will be a great down time for buyers. But lets hope for the best as its TATA ;-)

#24 Jose on 10.12.08 at 12:06 am

I got a Quadrajet for test drive from kottayam.
Indica Vista TDi have the same engine and almost same price as IndigoCS. So sedan is a better option.

#25 dr joshua on 10.26.08 at 6:32 pm

i have just purchased the car, i feel happy about the choise, the engine is pretty good. earlier iwas using swift petrol, i feel v comfortable with vista,
