As previously reported, Tata Nano sales in India have dropped significantly in the past few month, with just 509 customers opting for the US $2,900 micro car, down from 9,000 in July. It seems that Indian buyers have higher aspirations and are moving away from the Nano, as the nation’s market is booming. Reliability issues and a few spontaneously combusting units didn’t help sales either.
To mend the situation, the automaker has extended the car’s warranty and launched a new TV ad, depicting the Nano as the most lovable thing of Earth. Hit the jump to watch the commercial.
Tata Motors unveiled their first crossover in India named Tata Aria. A crossover is a type of vehicle which blends together all the strong points of a SUV, a sedan and a MUV in one package.
The new Tata Aria is based on the new-generation Tata platform, and is powered by a 2.2 Liter Direct Injection Common Rail (DICOR) which gives an output of 140Bhp.
Aria features a selectable 4x4 torque on-demand System which significantly enhances all-terrain capabilities and is also the first in its segment with an in-dash GPS-based navigation system besides an advanced safety feature like the electronic stability.
The new Tata Aria has been launched in three variants, all with 4x4, the Aria Pride at the top end, the Aria Prestige and the Aria Pleasure, each in 8 colour options. While Tata Pride comes with all features, features will vary in the Aria Prestige and Aria Pleasure. In the beginning, the vehicle will be available in 25 cities through Tata Motors' 69 dealerships.
Tata Motors actually started developing the vehicle in 2006 and it was showcased as a concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 and in the Delhi Auto Expo 2006. The Aria was first unveiled at the Delhi Auto Expo in January 2010. Though Tata has not officially announced the price of new Aria, it is expected to be between Rs.13-14 lakh for the entry level models and Rs.15-17 lakh for the top end model.

Tata motors is one of the leading motor vehicle manufacturer in India. Tata Indigo has played a key role in attaining this top position in Indian automobile industry. Tata's Indigo had won the appreciation from customers all over the country.
Looks like the Indigo series never ends. First car in the series was Tata Indigo, then came the Indigo CS series. The Indigo CS was better than its predecessor. The main advantage of Indigo CS was that the length was less than 4 meters so that it became the only seden that gained tax reduction for cars whose length is less than 4 meter.
The new member of the Indigo series is the Tata Indigo E CS which satisfies the Bharat 4 emission standards. The new Indigo CS E is an eco-friendly car with low price. The fuel economy of new Tata Indigo E CS is relatively higher than that of its predecessors. Here is more details about new Tata Indigo E CS.
Design
The CS is the abbreviation for 'Compact Sedan'. e stands for Eco-friendly may be. When the length of Indigo is reduced by reducing dickey space and without reducing interior space, it became Indigo CS E. Compared to other sedans in India, Indigo CS has a fair amount of interior space. Unlike the previous models, the new Indigo CS E has no similarity in appearance with Tata Indica. The grill of old Indigo was replaced with more modern and sophisticated brushed grill with aluminium finish. Body color bumper, the body color rub-rail with chromium lining and the wing mirrors with indicators makes new Tata Indigo E CS a cute car. The new Indigo CS E with off-white color has affluence which surpasses its price. In first look Indigo CS E can be termed as a well designed car.
The interior of Tata Indigo E CS has certain flaws. Tata hasn't made much changes to the dashboard and door trims from that in old Indigo. Only difference made is an elegant color change to the interiors.
The Indigo E CS has well finished fabric seats. They provide enough comfort and support to the customers. The door trim also has fabric inserts. The four power windows can be controlled using the controls in the central console. However, there are seperate controls for the passengers at the back seat.
Driving
New Indigo E CS is an evidence for Tata's skill in Engine refinement and power. The 1396cc engine which powers Indigo E CS provides it with a maximum power of 69Bhp @ 4000rpm and a maximum torque of 140Nm @ 1800-3000rpm. This engine which is almost silent provides a smooth driving experience and reasonable pickup. The turbo is switched on above 1000rpm. At 2500rpm, engine attains its maximum capacity. The clutch and gear transmission are also very smooth. The mileage of Indigo E CS is 23.03km/L
The major flaw of Tata Indigo E CS is its breaking. With a powerful 1396cc engine in it, the lack of ABS is surely a defect.
Price
Price of Diesel model of Indigo E CS is Rs. 4.92-5.15 lakhs and that of Petrol model is Rs. 4.09-4.31 lakhs.
Diesel : Rs. 4.92-5.15 lakhs
