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

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

I bought it from pre owned show room on 2014 as it was a second hand car..then it was quite good and its very good for rough riding it has very good cabin place and engine performance...but not so good in comfort as well as suspension...As the engine was cr4 it had many issue with its engine..Ac was also properly not working... overall it was a good experience to ride indigo...

I bought it very exictedly by seeing the add. It was one of the top adds at that time. The smooth steering and ground clearance. Loved it alot. When riding it at 120km/ph it seems that yeah I ride it. Controlling was too good and car was having less maintenance. It good car for middleclass family.

NANA

Exterior Nice.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Just the interiors are not upto mark, lot of space including boot, very comfortable. A nice car to own.just Tata needs to market it well and improve interiors.Tata needs to make more aggressive marketing as this car is worth the money we pay.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Enginee performanace is good, Not much sound of engine while driving, smooth gear shifting, like butter.

Ride Quality & Handling Worth a buy at the price , it is definetely a good car but as usual we are ready to spend more than 1.6 lac on  other cars like maruti, hoonda and huyndai with similar or less specifications. just a mental block with indians. tata has really done good. just need to improve interiors.

Final Words Nice car at this price. really it is nice upto now

Areas of improvement The quaility of plastic used is bad. It needs a lot of improvement. It would have been better had tata spend some money on better plastic quality.

Exterior Not so good😦

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort is good😄

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very low😱

Ride Quality & Handling Average😝

Final Words Over all it is not so good😦

Areas of improvement It need vey improvement in it, its good but not the best, as the name of company TATA people beleave and purchase it  snd the company should provide them more facilities, I was not thinking that this company will launch this type of car. so bad.

Waht we can say is it is good but the car is not giving that much average in which people would purchase it, So I hope from the company that you will se my message and try to improve the average make your company once again the top copmpanies in cars also.

With lots of hope I purchase that car but witthin a year I sold it. Next problem is the safety problem. It does no have air bags etc. Many baD features aur there so you may improve it,  feeling so bad to have this dustbin taxi car so bad.

ComfortFuel economy and looks

Exterior :- looks elegent , good curve on the Body , Optimum Length & Ground Clearence , Perfect feel or sedan in price of Hatch Back

Interior:- needs lots of work on the interior , better than Fait , Premier Padmini, Ambsador , ... Butt still its feels like you are siting in the car which is still in factory without interiors works to be done 

Fuel economy :- I always proud to stand in the que to refeule of diseal , as i dont have to worry about the next refullling, its best in class in Mileage.

Ride Comfort :- Happy to feel that TATA had Made it , after a long get sucess in keeping the engine Noise low & Vibration , AC works better than earlier one but still some time produe a undue Noise ..

Exterior

 Exterior looks compact and has good designing.The new eCs version looks better than the previous versions. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are basic and not upto the mark. Much better quality is required in the insides of the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Gearbox is a troubling aspect of this car. Not very smooth at times. Engine does good and fuel economy of the car is decent. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is very smooth and it's easy to manuver the car in tight spaces. Ease of drive suits the daily requirements. 

Final Words

 A good car to own for people who don't have a budget of more than 7.5 lakhs. Much better seating and sturdy car for driving in the city. Good on mileage and easy to maintain. The diesel version gives good average and most of the aspects of this car are correct and for Indian users. 

Areas of improvement  

 The car's interiors lack attractive finish and needs a lot of refinement. The gearbox needs refinement too as it becomes little uneasy at times. More attractive colors and automated controls would do wonders with time. 

 

Easy to handle,smooth steering,big boot space, decent mileagespeeds on highways not much,basic interiors,better colours required for all the models
