Tata Indigo eCS [2013-2018] User Reviews

 

This is my first car and I have just learnt car driving, I feel very comfortable in driving this car, got confident within one day after owning this car. Its too smooth to drive. I had bought this car for 5,42,500 with Basic Accessories, temp number and insurance. Since VX version of this car was not launced by 24th August, 2011, LX was the top variant by that time, so I missed VX vesion.

Pros:

1. Mileage - I got mileage of 15 kmpl with first 1000 kms ( 10 days) out of which 200 kms I covered with 1st or 2nd gear while learning. The maximum speed I touched was 90 kmpl on NH10 while going to Sirsa from delhi. I feel mileage will increase when I will be more experienced in driving.

2. Spacious: Car is spacious enough for your comfort.

Problems:

1. AC Belt is creating a lot of sound (Chrrrr..) if you switch on the AC within 2 minutes of starting the Car, even after 1st service it was not fully corrected (sound is reduced to some level) by the  Automobile Sterling, Noida.

2. The side strips on door are easily removable, the strip locks were loose at the time of delivery and I had asked the SalesPerson to get is corrected, they just affixed the same using elfy, after 2-3 days the strips again got detached from the doors.

Service from Automobile Sterling, Noida:

I had sent the Car for First free Service, they didnt charge me anything but after delivery of the vehicle to my office, I found following thing which they didnt correct:

1. they used some black material to affix the strips, instead of repairing the locks they are doing some "JUGAAD", which means it will be in same state after some time.

2. The AC Fan Belt is still noisy (Noise reduced to some level), We dont expect such sound from a New Car.

3. The vehicle was not cleaned properly, even I had told the points of dirt to the driver, still these were not cleaned. 

Good Mileage - 15 kmpl with AC onAC Belt creating lot of noise chrrrrrrrrr

 

I got this car on 26th June, 2011. I have used it for close to 2.5 months and have done upto 3500 kms.

Exterior Exterior of the vehicle gives a royal look and it would definately turn heads. Very Neat Design, Blinking indicators on ORVMs adds the glamour to the royal sedan. Smooth Finish on the Exterior is what makes a person go for this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) For its price, its absolute VFM. Interiors are good expecially reading lamps for all four seats, internally adjustable ORVMs, Anti glare IVRM and it is also a very spacious car with lot of head room & legroom. Boot Space is surprisingly big enough even though it appears small from outside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is good as the new engine does a good job. But CR4 makes more noise compared to TDI. Fuel Economy promised by ARAI is 23 but does not give more than 17 on highway + City conditions. On high way it may touch 20.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is decent but handling is tough especially when compared to swift dzire. The power steering is hard and make manuverability difficult. The lever on the foot are so high that it is difficult to drive for long distances. Fittings are not done properly and the music system is of budget quality. Don't be surprised if things start falling apart after few months.

Final Words Absolute VFM sedan for starters. As usual TATA Fit & Finish & Service is living upto its reputation. I have a severe post purchase dissonnace & could have gone for swift dzire but because of floods in Japan Deliveries were not happening.

Areas of improvement Good quality Parts, better fit & finish, Tata engineers should take longer test drives for driver comfort and engine noise can be substantially reduced.

Style, Space, Fuel Economy, Better Head Lights Compared to Any MarutiFit & Finish, Placement of Clutch, Brake & Accelerator, Hard Power Steering

Its a very good sedan , i bought it as new and till the date it covered nearly 2000 - its giving and average of 24 in city with full ac, and above 26 in high way  , one problem i faced  is the engine goes  off condition when gear goes from 4th  to 3 rd  but it occured  only   2 times  so tata service personnel cant find the fault , compared to swift its interior is a bit  bad ( even to vista( its shows tata can make good interior quality) ), accelaration is little low compared to vista and swift   but efficiency is high( swift -18 avg and vista -19 ) if  you are looking for low maintenance cost and fuel efficiency and resale value go for it  - if you fun loving and want to cruise in high ways go for vista - if you need good handling  good acceleration compared to indigo( not to vista)  go for swift.

Fuel efficiency( 24 + average in city with full ac) , high power acacRide quality, interior panel finishing

Exterior Very good look. but there are gaps between doors and boday.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice look, good boot space... feel verymuch comfort inside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good  pickup..... I got this on feb 2011... I have gone on NH5, NH6, NH8, 9. If you put on AC then you cant get that much pickup. Milage i didnt check till date. I have completed 30,000 Km till now.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb handling. I like the smoothness of stering. good control over the car. I have gone up to 160km/hr on the mumbai-pune highway express. Fill the tyre with nitrozen which helps in reducing the tires getting heat up.

Final Words Good for middle calss. good for new users of car.

Areas of improvement Internal noise.. Gaps between doors (exterior look), If you look from outside you will find more gaps between doors and bonet. Initially the engine gives no noise. frineds asks that weather it is petro/diesel. but later it starts giving noise.

Good pickup and smooth to driveinterior noise.... Ouside gaps between doors and between bonet

I feel this vehicle price is very good, I feel very Comfort riding for long journey and performance is also good servicing and maintenance is not higher it is also in budget i think vehicle price is good

 

Exterior Exelecnt exteriors. Very good looking car. Burgundy red color looks awesome

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Exelent space & comfort. CD/MP3 Player is not that good. Overall interiors are good

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is poor. I get average of 12 KMPL on highways and apprx 10 KMPL in city with AC. Tata motors claim such high fuel economy is ethically incorrect. Fooling its own customers can never result in long lasting relationship. Poor mans sedan for sure. Good buy for its price. Only compromise is fuel economy and pick up.

Ride Quality & Handling Not great pick up. Not a driving pleasure to say the least

Final Words  Poor mans sedan for sure. Good buy for its price. Only compromise is fuel economy and pick up.

Areas of improvement If fuel economy and pick up of the car is improved, I am sure sales for Indigo e-CS will improve exponentially.

Good looking car, very stable on road, very spacious interiorsPoor fule economy

I have driven it 90 thousand km. Still it's excellent to drive. Only one thing , I want to say that if it had 160 or 180 nm torque. Wow it will be wonderful car. If this car has more torque , no need to buy another car.

Exterior Definately its head turner on signals, Double colour head light, Both side Power mirrors with blinkers gives eye catching effect.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Since beginning its awesome seat comfort with great leg space. (just can't compare with maruti & hyundai where you cant come out without pushing back the front seats. And about rare seats are they fits you inside? ) Interiors are jusk OK not much attractive but its your budget car yaar!!! Power windows, power mirrors, Head light adjustments and defogger gives great impression.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good refined engine with too good fuel economy 20 kmpl with a/c in city!!!

Ride Quality & Handling Riding this car is a pleasure with Auto gradient feature of engine but need to improve more on handling quality.

Final Words VFM CAR.

Areas of improvement Should introduce ZX Version with proper duel tone dashboad, 2 din music system, Airbags & rare a/c vents.

Auto gradient feature of engine, Seat Height, Space & ComfortDuel tone dashboard missing

Exterior -- looks good.  The Front Grill design also.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice look, good boot space... feel very much comfort inside. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox  Good  pickup..... I got this on 5-feb-2012... I have gone for round trip  (Mumbai - shirdi -- shani shinganapur-pune-mumbai).    No problem with AC on. Milage which I got ---- is around 25 KMPM.   Till today I have completed 1700 Km.   I live in powai...  There I usually get 17 KMPL (i.e. within CITY)

 

Ride Quality & Handling Superb handling. I like the smoothness of stering. good control over the car.  I had learned 4-wheeler some 13 years ago  that too from my Uncle (not from any driving school) for 2-3 times only.    But I got used to this Car within a Week.   

 

Final Words Good for middle calss. Good for new users of car. 

 

Areas of improvement  ---  1) The Bottle holder should be near Hand Break.  2) Place A Tata Metal logo Emblem  on front Hood Bonnet to give this Car a Royal Look.

 

 

 

Best Fuel Economy, Good Style.......Nothing...........
