TATA INDIGO eCS COMPACT SEDAN LAUNCHED

INDIGO eCS

The Tata Indigo eCS Compact Sedan, which has been the pioneer of compact sedans in India, has gotten yet another upgrade from Tata Motors Limited. This time around, Tata motors have made the already fuel efficient sedan, even more fuel efficient with a raft of changes to boost the fuel economy number further. Now, the Tata Indigo eCS Diesel is touted to deliver a stunning 25 KMPL, thus making it the most efficient sedan in India.

The Tata Indigo e-CS sports a all new CR4 Common Rail Diesel engine that has a displacement of 1396 cc delivering 70 PS @ 4000 RPM. With a higher torque of 140 NM at a lower 1800-3000 RPM, improvements in gear ratios, clutch-to-start and reduction in the weight of the car by around 10 kg, the Tata Indigo e-CS VX ensures better pickup.

The Tata Indigo e-CS VX is also available with the MPFi petrol engine. Both these engines are compliant with BS4 emission norms. This mileage of 25 kmpl in the CR4 Common Rail Diesel engine is hinged on five technological advancements which have been mentioned below as follows:

1.SMART EMS (Engine Management System) CHIP that involves perfectly calibrating engine components every micro second to optimise functionality, right from valve timing to compression ratios, to pressure volume ratios, to air fuel mixture, flawlessly synchronising every engine function to deliver 25 kmpl mileage.

2.MAXIMUM CHARGE COMBUSTION : An innovatively designed engine head, block and piston assembly that ensures effective intake and circulation of charge (mixture of air and fuel), thereby minimising pumping friction losses. The result is maximum combustion of charge, increased efficiency and power.

3.DRAG REDUCTION – Redesigned wheel arches and subtle alterations on the exteriors, combined with a lighter shell and engine, have collectively contributed to making the car more aerodynamic, reducing the drag coefficient.

4.TRANSAXLE (Gear Box) – With optimised Gear ratios to give best fuel efficiency and driveability together.

5.TYRES – For drag / rolling losses reduction, optimised tyres were developed which provide low rolling losses coupled with good riding comfort and handling. Other class defining features in the Tata Indigo e-CX VX are stylish R14 alloy wheels, satin finish front grill, headlamps and ORVM with blinkers. They, coupled with body coloured bumpers and chrome inserts on the rub rails, endow it with head turning looks.

The interiors have been enriched with dual-tone beige seating and dashboard, premium wood-finish centre console, new instrument cluster with chrome rings and rear centre armrest for enhanced comfort. The plushness is enhanced with keyless entry, ABS, Bluetooth connectivity and electrical controls for ORVMs, besides carrying forward the comfortable AC, power steering and power windows.

The Tata Indigo eCS Sedan’s VX diesel version is available at an ex-showroom Delhi price of Rs 5.8 lakh while the top end petrol version comes in at Rs. 4.97 lakh.
