Tata is set to launch the updated Indica Vista in the Italian market this month. The Indica Vista replaces the erstwhile Indica in the Italian market.

The Italian spec Indica Vista has been loaded with features for the Italian market and all variants of the car have Power Steering, All four Power Windows, Front and Rear Fog Lamps and Central Locking as standard fitment.

The engine options in the Indica Vista for the Italian market will range from a Fiat sourced 1.4 litre, 8-valve, petrol engine producing 75 bhp to the Fiat sourced 1.3 litre, award winning, Multijet diesel engine. The 1.4 litre petrol engine is available as a petrol only option, as well as a bi-fuel option with either CNG or LPG. The 1.3 litre diesel engine variant has been termed the Quadrajet, similar to the Indica Vista being sold in the Indian market.

The pricing for the Indica Vista in the Italian market ranges from 9900 Euros (Rs. 5,60,000) for the petrol engined variant to 11280 Euros (Rs. 6,38,000) for the diesel engined variant. The LPG and CNG variants have been priced at 11520 Euros (Rs. 6,52,000) and 12360 Euros (Rs. 6,99,000) respectively.

While the buzz has started to create ahead of the launch of 2009 Tata Indigo, IAB has always been the first to get you the latest happenings about the Tata Indigo right from the spy shots to the engine spec and design.

Minutes ago, Global Motors posted spy pictures of the 2009 Tata Indicruz testing in cold weather in Sweden. It is partly camouflaged, and a head on photograph brings out the design elements of the car

The raised hood line is in conjunction with European Pedestrian safety standards. The grille is attached to the hood (similar to the Mercedes E-Class) and the whole front end has a lot in common with the Indica Vista like the fog lamps, headlights and the form of the hood and the rear-view mirrors. If you look closely at the 3rd images, a crease bisecting the hood is evident, just like in the Indica Vista.

The wheels seems to have come off the Tata Safari and the wheel-wells are an eye sore- A typical Tata vehicle trait. The size of this car should be close to the Toyota Innova’s and the price should be a couple of lakhs lesser than it. On the whole, people will assess it’s looks better than the XYLO.
