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. Recently, Tata has given Indigo CS a cosmetic facelift both exterior and interiors. Pricing is almost the same with 8 variants available - 3 Petrol & 5 Diesel.

Main Features Of 2009 Indigo CS:

• New Front Bumper.
• All New Front Headlamps.
• New Front Grille.
• New Round Front Fog Lamps.
• Waistline Moulding With Chrome Inserts.
• Chrome Inserts In Outside Rear View Mirrors.
• New Steering Wheel Like in Indigo DiCOR.
• New Seat Fabric/Combination.
• All New Biege Interiors

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 three engine variants -  1.2 litre petrol, 1.4 litre diesel and top of the line DiCOR engine. 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 65 Bhp at 5200 rpm.

The diesel variant comes with the turbo-charged intercooled engine that generates 70 Bhp at 4500 rpm. The DiCOR engine develop maximum power of 70 Bhp at 4000 rpm with 140 Nm of torque starting from 1800 rpm to 3000 rpm. The petrol variants will have beige interiors, while the diesel variants will have black interiors. In terms of looks - the front now looks same like the other indigo variants, also the instrument cluster and interior design has been picked as it is from Indigo.

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. The Plastic quality is cheap, fit and finish is poor, there are wide panel gaps and inferior quality of fabric is used on seats and door panels. The base versions are somewhat avoidable - with black colored bumpers and no Power Steering.

Top Model Of Indigo CS comes fully loaded with following features:

• Front Fog Lamps
• Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel
• Power Steering
• Rear Defogger
• Manual AC
• Power Windows
• Central Locking
• Leather Wrapped Gear Shift Knob
