responsive drive. /ith instant pick p and fewer gear changes in stop>start

A new and refined version of Indica called Indica 72 8eta.
Introdced in the local market by -ipradi !rading ?rivate 4imited H-!?4I
> the athorized dealers of !ata )otors for 'epal > 8eta is an abbreviation
for e$tra 9fficient !or(e Advantage engine.
Available in five different colors, inclding lagoon ble, palm green

!A!A )otorsG focs has rightflly been centered on the diesel
version of its small car the Indica 72. )ost of the cars it sells contine to
be diesel powered, thogh petrol engine variants have also been available
all along. !he technology for the IndicaGs petrol engine originally came
from 4e )oto )odern of #rance, bt the engine has seen considerable
refinement since. 5et, two factors mst have hampered higher sales
volmes for the Indica and the Indigo petrol variants.
!ata )otorsG relative lack of e$perience with petrol compared to
other small>car manfactrers with established credentials in this
segment, and the fact that the Rbig and powerflG tag is not necessarily a
positive attribte for a petrol car in the e$cessively fel>efficiency
conscios small>car segment.
!he recently re>lanched petrol version, the Indica 89!A, cold fit the
bill, as the changes to the carGs RheartG seem to be capable of offering better
fel efficiency.
AniJueness/
!he changes to the new Indica 72 89!A Hacronym for e$tra fel
9fficient, !or(e AdvantageI are really only in the engine department,
thogh the new beige interior theme also does add a bit of a premim
(ality to the car. !ata
Dr. Ambedkar College, Shivamogga
13

)otorsG reason for taking p the 1.1 liter petrol engine was clearly to
improve its fel efficiency ranking.
!he Indica 72Gs engine handicap came not &st from the fact that it
was the biggest in the small>car segment. !he new 89!A engineGs
improved refinement is easily recognizable. A redction in noise and
vibration levels is a bons, coming with the changes that were primarily
targeted at improving the engineGs fel efficiency.
!he engineGs pistons and rings have also been re>engineered to
redce the weight and width of the ring to achieve a lowering of friction,
which will also enable a lowering of fel consmption in the long rn. In
addition, a new two>part alminm oil smp and plastic timing covers
have been incorporated to improve the 89!AGs '72 Hnoise, vibration and
harshnessI packaging.
#el efficiency of the new 89!A shold be better than its
predecessor by p to 1B>26 per cent. 9$pect mileage nmbers of 16>12
kmpl in city driving conditions.
!he new 89!A has the potential to change the IndicaGs image of being a
gzzler. %t finish (ality and reliability will still be isses that !ata
)otors will have to tackle to be considered e(al amongst the petrol>
driven hatches in the market.
