Toyota Innova Review

BoldToyota Innova the company has made an attempt to spearhead the way forward in to a new way of motoring life. This classy and powerful car has been developed as a whole new category by Toyota as it changes the way we have perceived UV’s to be traditionally. The Toyota Innova is unlike other UV’s that’s for sure and that can be seen in the way that it has been received especially on the Indian soil. Being the first large sized MPV in India it seems so simple yet it has been laboriously crafted to perfection.

Keeping in mind the prevailing trends the Innova has been developed in a far more aerodynamic and curvy shape than the Qualis. The grille area and the snoopy head lamps along with the wrap around bumper give the front side the trademark Toyota corporate look. The contemporary considerations can be seen in the way the character creases run through the car and the bulges around the wheel arch. From the backside the car has a stepped bumper and a recessed number plate section. The tail lights are large and rectangular which gives it a whole new look as compared with the older UV’s.

The latest Corolla has arrived on the scene which at a first glance seems quite like its predecessor. Closer observations reveal the subtle changes that make this corolla an even hotter buy.

More significant however are the upgrades on the interior. The fabrics on the seat and trims have been changed and the upgraded version comes with perforated leather.

Tata Spacio Review

Tata Motors developed the Spacio in two versions, the soft top and the regular metal top. This was done in order to cater to the different needs of the public. The space under the hood is occupied a DI engine which is also used for the Tata 407 mini truck. One can imagine the power that the Spacio has as it has the engine of a mini truck embedded in it. The engine of the 407 mini trucks has proven to be a very fuel efficient truck. Hence the spacio too is bound to give you great economy along with providing high ground clearance which means it can be taken to the roughest of terrains.

Tata Sierra Review

Tata Motors have managed to make a mark on the automobile market more than one time. Recently however the company has sent ripples in the market with the release of the Tata Sierra. The company has come a long considering the fact that it was once considered to be just a commercial vehicles producer. The company began to test its expertise on developing passenger vehicles and received overwhelming success with the launch of its first ever attempt at passenger vehicles with the Sierra.

Traditionally it has been noticed that many people deter from putting their hands on a diesel engine car. The reasons behind this are many such as the conception that diesel engines are not that durable and require a high level of maintenance etc. With the Sierra however Tata Motors managed to cause a shift in the other wise static perception of the public. Although the car was nothing extra ordinary in terms of exterior design it serves great utility.

Tata Safari Review

Tata Motors have come up with some very interesting concept cars for the Indian public primarily and the world at large. The company is quick to realize the market trends and acts fast to capitalize on the issue. The Tata safari is one prime example of Tata’s ingenuity. They introduced this utility car into the Indian market long before any other important utility vehicle had been imported from foreign manufacturers. With the vehicle carrying the reputed brand name of Tata and a highly competitive price tag the car easily found its way in to the homes of the Indian public.

When the Tata Safari initially hit the market it was taken as a symbolic representation of adventure and freedom. With the passage of time however many foreign manufacturers released their own versions of the utility vehicle into the Indian market with the result that the Tata Safari fell out of fashion. To match up to the raised standards set by the foreign companies Tata reintroduced an enhanced version of the safari known as the safari dicor. In this way they were able to stay in the game of utility cars.

The safari featured a very contemporary diesel engine which was a 3 liter Direct Injection Common Rail Engine. Due to this engine the safari was much less noisier than other vehicles of this power and size. The engine also resulted in increased fuel efficiency. The effective consumption of the fuel did not come at the cost of the car’s performance as the safari can zip to a 100 kilometers per hour in a matter of twenty seconds. For the size at which the safari stands it has a rather competitive turning radius of around six meters. The fact that the car is endowed with a power steering makes the drive all the more pleasurable.

Tata Nano Review

Tata Motors car manufacturers has been talked about as much as the Tata Nano. Even before its release we had the people talking about it and eagerly anticipating it’s released. Much to the deliverance of the public it was finally revealed at the 9th annual auto expo in the first half of january 2008 in the city of New Delhi. This is a highly democratic car as the promotional tag line suggests it to “the people’s car”. Tata Motors have claimed it to be the world’s cheapest car. With a price of Rs 100,000 the standard version of the Nano costs just a little bit more than a decent motorbike.

Classified as being part of the new breed of 21st century cars the Nano symbolizes the new age philosophy of smaller, lighter and cheaper cars. The Tata Nano is without a doubt the leader in terms of causing a world wide trend of producing smaller cars. The interesting name actually has the very essence of the concept behind the car in its meaning. Nano is derived from the Greek word nanos which means dwarf. The word also means “small” in Gujrati which happens to be the mother tongue of the Tata owners.

The project was initiated in the year 2003 to construct a small sized car in the range of one hundred thousand rupees. This was done after considering the fact that India had a considerable number of families that were being forced to drive around on two wheelers due to the lack of finance for a four wheeler. This was the basic motive behind creating the Nano which was also encouraged with the company’s successful attempt at producing a low cost four wheel truck in 2005.

Tata Motors is India’s pride and joy when it comes to the world wide automobile market. Why shouldn’t it be as it has managed to surpass its own benchmarks each year since the time of its inception? Tata’s ingenuity can be judged with their ability to cash in on the needs of the people. One of the ways in which it has done this is by introducing a range of mid size cars in the specific market.

Tata Indigo Marina Review

Tata Motor’s success as India’s leading car manufactures has two aspects two it. First up is the high standard of quality engineering and designing that has paved the way for their success. Next up is the company’s ability to locate the automobile market niches and capitalize on them. This aspect can be clearly illustrated with the Tata Indigo Marina which the company introduced into the Markey as a mid size luxury car. The car managed to become an instant success in the mid size luxury car market. The demand for B segment cars has increased in India due to the fact that the economic boost in the country has left the people with more disposable income.

Although affordable the Tata Indigo is a symbol of luxury. The interior of the car is relatively bigger than most cars this size. When asked to explain the motives behind designing the interior in this way the company described it with the similitude of the space in the business class of aircrafts. Keeping within the boundaries of practicality the car provides the user with luxury that is well ahead of the price that he will be paying for the vehicle.

This particular model is available in both a robust petrol engine that gives you enhanced performance and the equally good but more fuel efficient diesel engine. Seeing the success of the Indigo and the customer feedbacks Tata also developed a station wagon version of the vehicle for customers who demanded even more space. The indigo Marina is widely available with a host of network dealers that also provide the potential customers with unmatched service.

Tata Indigo Review


The Tata Indigo comes in both a powerful petrol engine and a fuel efficient diesel engine. It seems that the company has kept the needs of the Indian public well in mind when producing this car. The price is one major indication of this and so are the other features of the car. The body structure and the front seats with extra lumbar and thigh support have been made so as to provide utmost comfort in long distance traveling.

Although the Tata Indigo is a C segment car it features 14 inch wheels rather than the traditional 13 inch wheels. Built on a steel frame that has managed to pass all the crash tests and endurance measures the car the car is sure to provide you with utmost safety. Along with the strong building material the car has additional safety features such as the fire preventing switch which activates an inertia that minimizes fuel leakage in the case of an accident. Seat belts in the back, collapsible steering wheel and beams on the sides add to the safety features of the Tata Indigo.

The sedan has a specific target audience. Basically it has been configured for those people looking for other sedans such as the Hyundai Verna, Ford Fiesta or the Honda City. People like to go for these cars due to the impact of their brand names. Whereas on the other hand the Tata Indigo is offering them more features at a lesser price but the same first class quality. In this way Tata has been successful in achieving its basic purpose by luring the sudan seekers to their own showrooms.
