At the price of Maruti800, Zen’s size and Ambassador’s Internal dimensions,with running cost of diesel is Indica Vista. . It’s evident in the strong shoulder line and the character line that runs from the headlamps to the tail, giving the profile strength and definition, as do the flared wheel arches and neat rubbing strip. The rear has a more pronounced curvature while the full length tail lamps have been slimmed down.

At the price of Maruti800, Zen’s size and Ambassador’s Internal dimensions,with running cost of diesel is Indica Vista. . It’s evident in the strong shoulder line and the character line that runs from the headlamps to the tail, giving the profile strength and definition, as do the flared wheel arches and neat rubbing strip. The rear has a more pronounced curvature while the full length tail lamps have been slimmed down.
The Indica Vistas reworked suspension setup features all-new semi independent twist beam suspension at the rear with gas filled shock absorbers and independent, McPherson struts with coil springs, at the front which give the car improved steering precision. The suspension system is also very efficient in negating bumps and jerks when driving over not the best of roads, awarding the passengers with a perfect ride quality. The steering wheel is also mounted on a separate sub-frame to better isolate steering vibrations and award the driver with improved responsiveness and drivability.The interior is a massive contrast to the dull grey world of the first generation Indica.
A new two-tone soft touch dashboard with centrally mounted display is the focal point of the interior. The general quality of plastics and material used in the Vista cabin has taken a leap forward. The Vistas diesel bandwagon comprises of the 1.4 TDI and the 1.3 Quadrajet. Tata made in-line 4 cylinder 1405cc TDI diesel comes with a direct injection fuel supply system and a turbocharger. With the power of 71 horses and a torque of 135Nm, the 1.4 TDI can notch up decent speeds and like the SAFIRE petrol it also has very decent mileage. An overall mileage of 19.48kmpl easily makes it one of the most if not the most economical car in the segment.
The Vista being a heavy car is not as brisk as the Maruti Swift Diesel, taking 17.41 seconds to do the 0-100 dash. But it is quite possible for the Quadrajet to notch up speeds in the region of 162kmph, thanks to its robust nature. The Vista Quadrajet is quite a decent car to drive, although not as much fun to drive as the Swift diesel.Its engine has been tweaked to the tune that it can pick-up even when in the fourth gear giving the Indica Vista good overtaking capability. In the midrange dash of 80-120kmph, the Quadrajet is actually faster than the Swift while taking 14.5 seconds and there is also considerable reduction in noise and vibration.
Although the latter does make its presence felt at speeds in excess of 100kmph. Tata Indica Vistas body is twenty five percent stiffer than the car it replaces thanks to the use of hi-tech tailored steel blanks that vary in strength from section to section to make its panels. It has also been put through and has passed a series of comprehensive crash tests and can thus claim to stand its ground in the event of an unfortunate accident. However to supplement its safety further ABS and airbags are surprisingly missing, but they might make an entry 6 months down the line when Tata starts exporting the Vista. As for now, its owners will have to make do with rudimentary safety features like side impact beams for all four doors, a full compliment of seat-belts and child locks on rear doors. The suspension system is also very efficient in negating bumps and jerks when driving over not the best of roads, awarding the passengers with a perfect ride quality. . An overall mileage of 19.48kmpl easily makes it one of the most if not the most economical car in the segment.
