Tata Aria Diesel 4x2 Prestige (2012) Updates

Friday, 16 November 2012 05:01 PM Tata Motors launched the facelift version of the Tata Aria in the second half of 2012, featuring projector headlamps, Aria body decals, and a JBL Harman infotainment system. This update was aimed at enhancing the vehicles appeal and technology. I think these additions were a step in the right direction to compete with other SUVs in the market.

Thursday, 25 October 2012 05:37 PM In 2012, Tata Motors introduced the Aria LX, a new base variant of the Tata Aria, priced below Rs. 10 lakh to make the vehicle more accessible to a wider audience. This move was part of their strategy to boost sales and attract more buyers. I believe this was a smart move to capture a larger market share.

Sunday, 10 June 2012 02:58 PM The Tata Aria Diesel 4x2 Prestige, launched in 2012, boasted a 2.2 L VTT DiCOR engine, producing 138 bhp of power and 320 Nm of torque. This engine, shared with the Tata Safari, provided robust performance and good road handling. The vehicles ground clearance of 200 mm was ideal for Indian road conditions.

Tuesday, 15 May 2012 06:13 AM Despite its technological advancements, the Tata Aria struggled with sales, leading dealers to offer significant discounts, including a cash discount of up to Rs. 1.60 lakh. This was an attempt to clear inventory and attract more buyers. I think the pricing strategy was a major hurdle for the Arias success.

Friday, 20 April 2012 10:17 PM In 2012, there were rumors and speculations about Tata Motors developing a cheaper crossover version of the Aria, which would be powered by a 2.2-litre common rail, turbo-intercooled engine. This was part of their plan to make the vehicle more competitive in the market. I believe this would have been a great move to expand their customer base.

Thursday, 15 March 2012 05:10 PM The Tata Aria 4x2 was launched in Mumbai in 2012, highlighting its blend of sedan-like comfort and SUV-like muscle. The vehicle was praised for its sharp turning radius and ease of maneuverability. I think this launch was a good attempt to position the Aria as a versatile vehicle.

Friday, 10 February 2012 05:57 AM Tata Motors considered introducing an automatic variant of the Tata Aria in 2012, aiming to enhance the driving experience and appeal to a broader range of customers. This move was seen as a way to compete more effectively in the SUV segment. I believe an automatic transmission would have made the Aria more appealing to city drivers.

Friday, 20 January 2012 03:16 PM The Tata Aria faced criticism for its high maintenance costs and poor after-sales service. Owners reported issues such as hard-to-use handbrakes and the need for frequent repairs after 40,000 kilometers. I think addressing these issues was crucial for customer satisfaction.

Tuesday, 11 October 2011 11:32 PM In 2011, the Tata Aria was praised for its road behavior and balance, particularly during high-speed driving. The vehicles ability to stop within 20-25 meters at 120 km/h was noted as a significant safety feature. I believe this speaks well to the vehicles engineering and safety standards.

Tuesday, 05 October 2010 03:50 PM The Tata Aria was initially launched in India in 2010, priced starting at Rs. 12.01 lakh. The vehicle was marketed as a crossover, combining the features of a sedan and an SUV. I think the Aria was an innovative product in Tatas lineup at that time.
