The Tata Indigo Diesel is a Tata Motors bestseller because of its cost- and fuel efficiency. It looks great inside and out, boasts of spacious interiors and the brand’s signature chrome accentuated smiling grille and teardrop headlamps. It is safety-oriented and family-friendly. Performance-wise, the 1.4 liter turbo diesel engine and independent suspension offer a maneuverable and smooth ride. The hatchback Tata Indica Diesel offers the same amenities, with a sportier look.

The Tata Manza Aura and Tata Vista Ignis join Tata’s family of diesel variants, offering similar style and dimensions as the petrol-run Manza and Vista with a cost-efficient and high-performing diesel touch.

The Tata Ace “Bata” is the best in its category for fuel efficiency with its efficient Diesel engine and a load capacity of 750kg. Best as a jeepney body variant, it can confidently brave both city and rural roads because of bigger tires, high ground clearance, independent suspension system with disc brakes and drum brakes for the front and rear, respectively. Safety is a big investment, so the Tata Ace has intrusion panels on the front doors, seat belts, and a crash-tested body from the front, roof and back. Various body configurations can be used on the Ace, as well as a 2 year or 36,000 km warranty is included in every purchase thus making it a very versatile investment.

The Tata Super Ace alias “Big Boy”, on the other hand, has more power to go places with a load capacity of 1 ton! Its strong chassis, independent suspension running on a 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine and a Load Conscious Reducing Valve (LRCV) makes this Big Boy ultra-versatile in fulfilling a wide range of functions for passenger carriage or delivery uses.
