Tata Indica Vista GVX Safire90

The new Vista SAFIRE with a world class 1.2L petrol engine, fog lights, exotic headlights and vertical-stacked tail lamps is simply obsessive. It’s all about experiencing it!. Based on the Tata Indica, the Indica Vista has more space, greater comfort, better refinement and improved performance. The car comes with a variety of engine variants including Fiat’s powerful 1.3 Multi-jet engine and a 90bhp petrol engine for customers looking for better performance. However, the interior finishing still needs a lot work like as is the case in the Indica. Its USP is the great value for money and of course the fuel efficiency but it faces stiff competition from foreign manufacturers.Very little has changed mechanically in the new Tata Vista. It still gets the same engine options – a 1.4-litre Tata turbo-diesel engine for BS3 cities (TDi in Tata-speak), a 1.3-litre Multijet diesel (Quadrajet), a 1.2-litre-65PS petrol (Safire 65) and a 1.4-litre-90PS petrol (Safire 90). The car we sampled was a Vista Quadrajet ZX, meaning we had the Fiat sourced 1.3-litre Multijet engine under the hood, that puts out 75 PS or power and 190 Nm of torque. Typical to the 1.3 Multijet, this motor has very little punch under 2,000 revs. While this translates into a smooth power delivery while trotting through bumper-to-bumper traffic, it also means that you may need to downshift while making overtaking manoeuvres, unless you want to wait for the turbo to spool up.
