Indica
The Tata Indica, India’s first indigenously made
passenger car, was built to deliver on the promise
of 'More car per car'
. It set standards for interior
space and value for money. As a hatchback Indica
was originally intended to be a single-user car. It was
adapted to fit Indian needs, i.e. to be a chauffeur-
driven, family car. Indica’s engineering created room
for three people in the back seat, provided extra leg
space, and fitted a robust rear suspension system. As
a result, the Indica has become a best-selling car in
some of the most competitive hatchback markets
worldwide.
Nano
The Nano provides a safe and affordable alternative
to two and three-wheeler owners in India. The lowest
cost passenger car in the world, the price of the Nano
was optimized by reducing the amount of steel used
in its construction.
Launched in 2009, the car was
hailed as a path-breaking initiative, creating the
Micro compact segment in the Indian Passenger Car
industry
. A refreshed version of the Nanowas launched
in 2012, equipped with a more powerful engine and a
greater fuel efficiency of 25.4 km per litre, improving its
record as India's most fuel efficient petrol car.
Safari
Released in 1998,
the Tata Safari was the country’s
first premium, indigenous thoroughbred 4-door
Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), designed, developed
and manufactured entirely in India
. The Safari got
a huge response from car owners, becoming very
popular in India. It catalysed the SUV segment with its
rugged looks and contemporary styling, adding luxury
to powerful off-road capabilities. Designed to provide
superior passenger comfort, the Safari cabin features
extra legroom, high seating and plush interiors, making
it an easy drive on and off the road.
