Indigo CS


Tata Motors has cut down the overall length of existing Indigo to avail the tax benefits of small car for the Indigo CS. Tata Motors dubs the new Indigo CS as the "World's most compact sedan&.It is positioned as the first car for young professionals. It carries forward the cabin seating comfort and space package, that is now closely associated with the Indigo range and a capacious 380 litre boot.
Clever and efficient design has made it possible to encapsulate this entire package within the four metre length, making this car a complete package to address the combined demands of space and maneuverability in our congested cities. The Indigo CS sports a stylish new tail light cluster in the rear embedded in a smart new rear profile completed with a new, trimmer rear bumper. The front of the car has also been visually differentiated with a new front grille and new headlamps.
It has two engine variants - 1.2 litres petrol and 1.4 litres diesel. Both are available in 2 variants.
The petrol variant of CS is equipped with a multi-point fuel injection engine powered by a 32bit microprocessor and churns out a maximum power of 65PS @ 5200 rpm. The diesel variant comes with the turbo-charged intercooled engine that generates 70PS @ 4500 rpm. The petrol variants will have beige interiors, while the diesel variants will have black interiors.In terms of looks - the front is exactly the same like Indica V2, also the instrument cluster and interior design has been picked as it is from Indica.
But at the rear Tata's job has worked wonders! It has new rear bumper and new tail light cluster which looks quite good and small boot is looking great in comparison to other indigo models. Now the boot looks a part of the car - not a add on! It is true value for money sedan but the quality issues are still same like other Tata vehicles. Plastic quality is very cheap, fit and finish is poor, wide panel gaps and inferior quality fabric on seats and door panels. The base versions are somewhat avoidable - with black colored bumpers and no Power Steering. There are no power windows - even in top version also!! No steering adjustment! The only reason to buy Indigo CS is that the range starts from 3.79 lakhs...
