Tata launches Indica Vista

August 23, 2008 – 7:51 pm by Charles Pennefather

Tata Indica VistaThe wait is finally over for all the people who have been putting off their car purchase because they’ve been waiting for the new Indica. We took a short drive at the launch of the Indica Vista and our first impression suggests that it has been well worth the wait. The Indica Vista will co-exist alongside the current Indica, and prices begin at Rs 3.49 lakh for the base petrol variant, and go up to Rs 4.88 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, for the top-end Quadrajet diesel variant.

The Vista is bigger, yes, but what makes it so enjoyable are the little touches Tata has so thoughtfully incorporated in the car - for instance, soft-touch plastics aren’t restricted to the dashboard, they’re present on both the front and rear door pads. Another example that illustrates this is the fact that if your wipers are on, the rear wiper is turned on as long as reverse gear is engaged. The two-DIN music player has a USB port, the seats have adjustable height and lumbar support, and the paint looks incredibly lustrous. Tata’s done well with the Vista, we think - now we’ll have to see what the sales charts say.

  2. All together again a great offering from TATAs and I expect that new Indica Vista will dominate the segment it is placed in.

  4. Good Going Tata! Fresh design - love the large greenhouse and the bold lines. Just wish the wheel trim didn’t look like it came from the Logan though! Alloys and a good set of shoes should make it look smashing ;-)

    By KG on Aug 25, 2008

  5. The Indica DOES have the option of alloy wheels, but they don’t make much of an impact, neither do the new GT3 tyres they’ve switched to.

    By HITESH PANDAY on Aug 28, 2008

  8. Sir,
    I want to know about the performance and power aswell as the fuel economy of India Vista.My question is what about the petrol engine and if it is worth as all the concentration is going for the diesel engine
    Regards

    By Priyadarshi on Aug 28, 2008

  9. @Pankaj: Yes, the Quadrajet is the same engine, but with different mapping and gear ratios.
    @Hitesh: http://www.carwale.com/Research/BrowseCarsByVersion-model-213.html
    @Priyadarshi: we didn’t drive the petrol at the launch, but we should have a first impression of it very soon. Give us a little more time.

  10. I have taken test drive. I feel gear shifting very poor and steering very hard.Although i am driving Indica.

    By Neelkanth Agrawal on Aug 29, 2008

  11. I took test drive,The first flaw i noticed is the speedometer is in the middle of front dashboard,Which in itself is distracting.
    Secondly,the suspension as compared to swift or dezire is on the lower side.
    But the best part is that the enjine they are using and the stylish looks.

  14. I m planning to buy vista safire1.2 aura, but I heard that petrol engine is seriously underpowered. Is it true? Should I purchase it or not I m confused? should I think of desel version of it? but it would cost me around 1 lac.extra bucks Should I think about some other car or should I wait for some more time

    By Sachin on Sep 5, 2008

  15. well, i think the others players in this segment should watch out for indica vista as it is going to give them tough times ahead so far as sales are concerned thats what i feel from its looks.but the only thing that remains to be seen is the performance of the car which only time will tell.i will wait for sometime before i go for it.

  16. i am house wife, i am littlebit confuse in car between swift- indicavista- aura. which is best?i have taken testdrive of both but confuse.give me suggestion imitietly

    By gargi joshi on Sep 5, 2008

  17. please give me answer

    By gargi joshi on Sep 5, 2008

  18. I Think U should go for Swift.

    By Neeraj on Sep 6, 2008

  19. Indica Vista would be the right choice for you b’coz it is fitted with latest engine and its appearence is more appealing than Swift.you should go for Vista “Gargi”.

    By Janeshwar Banshtu on Sep 7, 2008

  20. Very good going Tata. The Vista is a very good looking vehicle with International Standards. The engine is also superb. Indica has already proved itself in the Inidan Market. At present it may be the best looking car in the market with looks, space and performanace.

    Cheers Indica !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By Roshan Babu on Sep 9, 2008

  21. But did any one got the delivery of the new vehicle?
    is it worth paying almost 70k more for quadrajet than TDi desal engine?

    By santosh on Sep 10, 2008

  22. Hi,

    It is definitly worth. This is a great car and value for money. If you go for quadrajet in Swift, it takes 3 months waiting period and Vista is catching fast popularity having same engine and great space and interiors at lesser cost. You feel like you are sitting in Honda City.

    By mak on Sep 12, 2008

  23. Yes i got deleivery of my vista aura on 8-9-2008 it gives 13.6 per lt.in local with ac on or goes 19.8 on highway @ speed 90-120 or give 24 if drive @ speed 65 to 75 in 5th gear on night with no breaks

  25. Hi,
    I am planning to buy the Indica Vista but I don’t know the performance of the TDi engine. TDi is not available for test drive.
    Is any buddy taken the test drive of TDi engine?

    By Makarand on Oct 22, 2008

  26. Mr. Makrand, its best to invest the extra money in the Quadrajet. Its a much newer engine, more fuel efficient & will surely command a better resale value in years to come. Also I feel that the TDi engine is more for the fleet operators (those who operate privately).

    By Maverick1977 on Nov 5, 2008

  27. I took indica vista (aura) on 5-11-2008. the performance of the vehicle is very good and the looks are mind blowing thanks for TATA people to bring this type of car on road.

    By sreedhar on Nov 8, 2008

  28. Hira,

    It been probably 3 months now so how is your Aura performing and how many kms have u clocked and what deficiencies have you noted till now compared to the Swift ?

    By raghav on Dec 17, 2008

  29. Hi:

    What is the fuel efficency of Indica vista
    safire/aura.Some say cos its too lengthy from the drivers position, often the old carusers feel difficulty in judging the object/vehcles just going before you.

    Can anyone explain that, please?

    By rudra on Dec 20, 2008

  30. I am seriously considering buying TATA Indica Vista Aqua Safire. i need to know that whether the car can be upgraded to incorporate ABS and Airbag later on.

    By Rajesh on Dec 26, 2008

  31. Hi,
    i just purchase the new Indica Vista Aura Safire on 30/12/2008. It is too good man. The steering wheel is smooth. The gear too are soft, suspension is also too good. I purchased it from pratham automobiles pune. Got a solar orange color with graphics. The graphics really look good on this color. We get this graphics done only from this showroom in Pune. just info, if u are interested in this stuff

  32. Is the body of new Indica vista same as the old indica ?. It is said that the body of old indica is not strong and gets rusted off after some years. Please reply. I am greatly confused

    By Mitu on Feb 5, 2009

  33. I test drove an Indica Vista quadrajet today. Very refined and quiet. Good pick up and interior space. Everything nice about the car. Only issue was the A/c. Took for ever to cool and after a drive of about 4 km the a/c was not turning out chill air.
    Do all/most vistas have the same a/c problem or was this a ‘one of’ case.
    FYI: The car that I drove was not a regular test drive car but was ‘just delivered’.
    Had clocked only about 45km only.

    By pvm on Mar 13, 2009

  34. The on road price of the top of the line vista quadrajet is about 5.55L in Bangalore. Please every one mention on road prices in other states/cities.

    Thx

    By ANIL KUMAR AGARWAL on Aug 15, 2009

  38. HI I am looking to buy aura saffire, which is costin g4.42 lcs in bangalore. City mileage would not be more than 12-13 km/l from this car. The internal features look plush to me and seems very pulling….else than that I dont know much abt cars as this would be my first car.As this is a fully loaded car, any other car on road comparision with same features would be expensive or same. I already have stretched my budget for it. Please suggest me what to do as I am a normal lower middle class bachelor and aspire to buy a car as its been long time dream….if I wont be able to decide about it ,I will buy an Alto LXi and load some basic features thats it…please suggest as in today’s scenario every one can buy a car but maintaining is very challanging.,…whom to listen …to my heart(vista aura saffire) or my mind(alto lxi)?Every one welcome to give true openion just like a real friend in need.
