Tata
Indica is the first truly Indian car. It is the manifestation of the
vision of Ratan Tata, the chairman of Tata Motors, who dreamt to build a
car with the Zen's size, the Ambassador's internal dimensions, the price
of a Maruti 800 and with the running cost of diesel.
Now, renamed as Tata Indica V2, the car is available four variants -
DLX, DLG, DLS, and DLE.
Indica V2 is equipped with 1400 cc engine that is unmatched in its
class and it combines state-of-the-art technology with features like
block shock absorbers, easy shift gears, a smooth ride suspension, a
super drive engine and wide tread tyres.
