Tata Indica V2 DLS (Diesel)

Drive to your office in style in the Tata Indica - India's most preferred car manufacturer. A Tata car in India is an ideal family as well as personal choice any time. Spend a few minutes to read the New Tata Indica V2 DLS (Diesel) Review here.

This is a hatchback that is partly designed and developed by Tata Motors. With its predecessor as the Tata Indica, the V2 is its advanced variant with vastly improved features and technical specifications. It features an indigenously developed engine, but the body has been designed in association with an Italian designing company called I.D.E.A. The Tata Indica V2 is an idyllic combination of the overall structure of the Maruti Zen, the interior space of the Ambassador, and the cost of the Maruti.

It is available as five speed manual transmission 1.4 litre 62/68 BHP turbo-diesel engine model. It is capable of seating five people. With its 37 litre diesel tank, this model is capable of delivering around 16.6 kmpl on the highway, and around 12.27 kmpl in city driving conditions.

The Tata Indica V2 looks refreshingly different from other models in its segment that crowd Indian roads. However, the V2 base model comes with standard interiors that do not include features like air-conditioning, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, power seats, inbuilt comprehensive music system, and leather seats.

The Tata Indica V2 comes in three different variants:

Tata Indica V2 DL-BS III

Tata Indica V2 DLE-BS III

Tata Indica V2 DLS-BS III

The Tata Indica V2 DLS (Diesel) features Tata's renowned 1405 cc 475 IDI with Microprocessor based Engine Management System (ECU) diesel engine.

The Tata Indica V2 DLS (Diesel) delivers a fuel economy of approximately 12 kmpl to 16.5 kmpl depending upon driving conditions. With its 37 litre fuel tank, travel optimum distances without refuelling.

The Tata Indica V2 DLS comes with enhanced level comfort and safety features. Included are grey wheel arch flairs, sill valence, internally adjustable OVRMs on the driver side, and others.

I did own an Indica Vista for 3 years. Performance wise it was good and fuel efficiency was good too. I did not spend a great deal on maintenance and hence got a good resale value too. Looking for a change now. Heard the new Manza is to be launched soon. Considering a few other cars. Booked a TD for Manza though.. try it ..

I have bought Tata Indica V2 DLS, since i bought this car, even though this car ran for 35000 kms till date, we have some problem or other such as Air conditioner never worked at its best, suspension already gave way, i have replaced the battery, diesel pump. Viziling noise from the engine is a common phenomina of this car, Radiator heats up with A/c on and long distance is travelled.

Idea of giving you this feed back is to work on these issues on launching your next models.
