When I first drove the sub-compact sedan Tata Indigo eCS LE model
When I first drove the sub-compact sedan Tata Indigo eCS LE model, I immediately made up my mind to buy the superb family car. The feature that impressed me most is its high performing engine that is complimented by a decent fuel economy, a feature that is very rear in sedans.
Even today after driving the vehicle for more than a year, the sedan assembled with a 1405cc, Turbocharged diesel engine with intercooler is sufficient enough to generate maximum power output of 70 bhp at 4500 rpm and peak torque of 135 Nm at 2500 rpm. Given the current conditions with raging fuel prices, my Tata Indigo eCS LE gives an advantage with a fuel economy of 13 kmpl to 18 kmpl.
Being the base diesel variant, Tata Indigo eCS LE definitely has the least number of cabin comfort features among other Indigo eCS models. However, even the base variant is well tended with simple features like air-conditioning system, adjustable front seat headrests, digital clock, vanity mirror on co-driver seat, storage pockets on doors and more.
Even safety is given due consideration in the Tata Indigo eCS LE. Though there are no advanced safety features, the car is still equipped with useful features like child safety locks on rear doors, collapsible steering column and high mounted stop lamps.
