Amongst the massive display from Tata at the Auto Expo 2010 is theTata Aria production vehicle. The MPV is one of 37 cars at thecompany's booth, which also includes Land Rover and Jaguar.
Using a 2.2-liter direct-injection common-rail diesel engine, theAria will work with 138 horsepower, and up to 320 Nm of torque.Although sprint times, weight and top speed have not yet been revealed,expect the car to use that torque to launch forward, getting a bitsluggish as speeds increase. Optionally available is an all-wheel driveunit that delivers torque variably to each wheel, depending on drivingconditions.
Tata intentionally designed the seven-seater with enough height so"passengers can simply walk into the Tata Aria, rather than climbing"into it. If the driver has less than six passengers, the rear seats maybe folded flat to increase cargo room. Interior features include aninfotainment unit with GPS, dual climate zones, and surround sound. Sixairbags will help keep everyone safe.
Reports from the vehicle's introduction in New Delhi claim pricingwill range from 700,000 to 1,000,000 Indian Rupees, or €10,600 to€15,150. First shown five years ago in Geneva as a concept, domesticmarket launch of the 2011 Tata Aria could begin by this summer. |
