Tata Motors Launches the Indica V2 Turbomax

Did you have any idea that a new horse with power equivalent to that of 70 horses was coming out of the Tata stable? Here it is already. Yes friends, Tata Motors has launched the all new Indica Turbomax which proudly flaunts the 70 bhp BS IV motor.

Long time ago in India, the Tata Safari was launched, and then came the Safari with a new DICOR engine coupled with modified car interiors and exteriors. The auto maker’s popularity grew in the country and by then, Tata Motors found itself completely in the midst of the Indian passenger car segment. In response to its own desires, the car maker launched the Indica in 1998. In no time this car started boosting the company’s sales figures. Tasting success once again, the company brought in different versions and variants of the Indica car from time to time on to the Indian roads.

A diesel Indica was launched in the year 2000 followed by a multi-point fuel injection petrol engine Indica launch the same year. Mileage and power output were a problem though. So, in response, Tata came out with the new Indica V2 in 2001. A CNG Indica V2 was also launched and that added to Tata Motors’ fame. Re-work, creativity and innovation by Tata engineers gave rise to the Tata Indica Vista or Tata Indica V3 cars in 2008. Now, Tata claims to have added muscle to the car.

The Indica V2 delivers 52.7 bhp @ 5500 rpm while the new V2 Turbomax spews out 70 bhp @ 4500 rpm. While the Indica V2’s maximum torque is 85 Nm @ 2500 rpm, 135 Nm @ 2500 rpm is what the new V2 Turbomax delivers. For an India gripped with fuel economy, the new car comes with good news. The V2 Turbomax offers a mileage of 19 kmpl which is a kilometre more per litre as compared to the Indica V2.

The front grille with the chrome strip uplifts the car’s front fascia. The Turbomax DLS comes with stylish body-coloured bumpers that can endure the collisions. While the new clear lamp headlamps offer great visibility in the dark, the taillights offer impressive illumination of the rear during braking. The Independent Wish Bone type front suspension with Mc Pherson Strut with coil spring and the rear Independent Semi Trailing Arm with coil spring mounted on hydraulic shock absorbers swallow all the humps and bumps on the roads leaving the family inside the car safe and comfortable. The 165 X 65 R 14 tyres of the new Turbomax offer maximum traction as compared to the Indica V2’s 165 X 65 R 13 tyres.

The new Indica V2 Turbomax DLS and Indica V2 Turbomax DLE have ample space for entire Indian families. There’s sufficient space for 5 individuals. The new electronic cluster with digital odometer and two trip meters with light intensity control not just add refinement to the interiors but are also easy to read and offer the driver all required information.

The car comes in soothing colours Arctic Silver and Mint White. The Turbomax DLS is also available in Furnace Red and Magnesium Gray. A look at the car and a ride in it make it very clear that the reliable Indica V2 just got more powerful with the launch of the V2 Turbomax DLE and DLS.
