Tata Motors Launches New Indica Vista
Posted on 
Despite getting some visually appealing cosmetic upgrades on the outside and some funky gadgetry and media connectivity options on the inside, the flagship hatchback from the Tata brand manages to retain its modest purchase points with the petrol range now starting from Rs. 3.88 lakhs and the diesel versions from Rs. 4.79 lakhs
The arrival of the original Vista model from Tata Motors back in 2008 did well to peg the company’s presence in the then nascent premium hatchback space in India. With a look and feel that was certainly a notch above its Indica cousin, the Vista with its spacious interiors and nicely laid out central driver display became a car that gave the Indica brand something more than its widely accepted ‘taxi’ image in the country.
But while, the premium hatchback has so far done well to win the hearts of many in its homeland, the hour of its refurbishment was anticipated by many. And so, Tata Motors has now introduced its new generation Vista model, which having received upgrades in all of its key areas, now makes it an even worthier competitor amongst other hatches in its class.
Sporty alloy wheels and the new triple barreled head lamp on the new version, along with its new front chrome grill and overall chrome package incorporates the same styling formula that makes the Tata Manza look so good. With refreshing new interiors that exude the Manza’s signature style, Tata has come close to matching the experience of a sedan in its newly facelifted Vista.
But this in turn has added a host of new driver friendly features to the Vista, that now includes a handy new tilt adjustable 4-spoke steering wheel with mounted audio controls. USB, Bluetooth and Auxiliary input connectvity options are also welcome upgrades on the new car. Electrically operated outer rear view mirrors and AC controls definitely add to the new Vista’s style and convenience.
Already available with great engine options for both the petrol and diesel versions, the power in the new Vista will continue to pump through its globally successful 1.3 litre Quadrajet diesel engine and its 1.4 litre MPFi Safire petrol engine. Fuel efficiency now moves a notch higher on the new car, with proposed figures of 22.3 kmpl for diesel and 16.7 kmpl for petrol.
Four top of the line safety & security features like ABS with EBD, dual airbags, crumple zones and side intrusion beams complete safety of the passengers. Features like an engine immobilizer and remote keyless entry will come as standard.
Now available in a new signature color, Summer Sparkle, the new range of Tata Indica Vistas’ will be available at all Tata Motors dealerships from September 1, 2011, and will sell in 4 trim levels:
LS/ GLS (base version)
LX/ GLX
VX/ GVX
ZX/ GZX (top-end version)
Competitively priced between Rs. 3.88 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) for the Safire petrol range and Rs. 4.79 lakhs for the Quadrajet diesel range (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new range of Vista models are sure to tighten Tata’s armour in the country’s small car market.

Hi all. I have owned a Tata Vista quadrajet from July 2009. I was impressed by the added features and immediate delivery of the car as compared to the swift at the time of purchase. However,From my experience, Tata have much to improve in the quality of build as the internal plastics,power window switches,rear parcel shelf etc is of poor quality material and construction.Mileage of the car is also about 17-18kms/ltr on highways whereas swift delivers about 22 kms on similar conditions. Though these are minor irritants, it puts Tata cars in a much lower league as compared to the competition.

tata need to improve the quality of the car, though they had done a lot on this front still they have to go a long way. The main area needs attention is the reliability.

TATA Indica Vista (Aura-TDI) is my first car and my family's second Tata car (first was Indica turbo). There are certain issues I have with the Vista version: 1. The average that my car gives with AC is 12.5 KMPL and Without AC 13.5 KMPL which is far below then the average which was claimed by the dealer at the time of sale. 2. The plastic of Tata is of low quality I have already changed my dashboard (under warranty) due to some snag in it. 3. The service which the TATA dealers provide is below expectation. From the day I have bought the car I am complaining about the noise which comes from the right side of the vehicle but they fail to rectify it even after 1 year and 8 months. Now I have stopped complaining about the same thinking that it will remain in the car till I have it. 4. I complain about the same to the BPO people who called me and wanted me to rate their service but nothing has been done till date. 5. I regret the fact that I bought this car as it was my first car and I never thought of having this kind of experience. My friends suggested me at the time of buying that I should go for some other car but I never listened o them which was a blunder committed by me.
