About

The Tata Indica eV2 Diesel is a hatchback that has been a staple in the Indian market for decades. It boasts a spacious cabin that can comfortably accommodate five occupants, along with ample leg and headroom. The 1.4-litre diesel engine, though not powerful, is smooth and frugal, making it ideal for city driving. The car features a manual transmission, power steering, and air conditioning, but lacks modern safety features like ABS and airbags. The ride quality is comfortable, especially at low speeds, and the dual-tone interior theme adds a touch of elegance. However, the interior lacks storage spaces and the audio system quality is subpar. Despite its limitations, the Indica eV2 remains a reliable workhorse with good fuel efficiency and a comfortable ride, making it a consideration for those on a tight budget.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Tata Indica eV2 Diesel is a vehicle that, while reliable and economical, shows its age in several critical areas. Its engine, though fuel-efficient and capable in city driving, feels underpowered on highways, making it less suitable for long-distance travel. The lack of essential safety features like ABS and airbags is a significant drawback. However, it excels in comfort and space, offering a spacious cabin and comfortable ride quality, especially at low speeds. For those prioritizing budget and intra-city commutes, the Indica eV2 might still be a viable option, but it falls short compared to more modern and better-equipped competitors.

Price

The Tata Indica eV2 Diesel is priced in the range of Rs 5.13 lakh to Rs 5.61 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), which translates to an on-road price of around Rs 6.3 lakh to Rs 6.9 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. Given its features and performance, this pricing makes it a value-for-money proposition for those looking for a basic, reliable hatchback. However, its crucial to consider the discounts and offers available, as Tata Motors often provides significant discounts that can bring the price down further.

Latest Updates

Saturday, 15 March 2014 09:42 AM The Tata Indica eV2 Diesel L has been discontinued, but it was known for its fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-certified mileage of 25 kmpl. This made it a favorite among those looking for a cost-effective diesel car. I think its fuel efficiency was one of its strongest selling points.

Wednesday, 03 October 2012 05:31 PM In 2012, Tata Motors reduced the price of the Tata Indica eV2 by Rs 23,000, making it even more attractive to budget-conscious buyers. This move was part of their strategy to boost sales in the competitive Indian market. I believe this price cut helped in increasing its market share.

Friday, 11 March 2011 11:25 PM The Tata Indica eV2 Diesel L came equipped with a CR4 common rail diesel engine, which had a displacement of 1396 cc, delivering 70 PS of power at 4000 RPM and 140 Nm of torque at 1800-3000 RPM. This engine was praised for its significant improvements in power, torque, and fuel efficiency. The engines refinement and smooth operation were notable features.

Friday, 11 March 2011 04:56 PM One of the unique features of the Tata Indica eV2 was the Auto-Drive Assist, which prevented the engine from stalling when climbing a gradient, even if the foot was completely taken off the clutch. This feature made driving in hilly or inclined areas much easier. I think this was a thoughtful addition for Indian driving conditions.
