The story of the Indica is the story of hard work, ingenuity and success. Except for the styling, the entire development of the Indica goes to Tata Engineering. The interior design is outstanding and classy. Though the car developed problems soon after its launch, it goes to the credit of the Tatas that they addressed the faults successfully and later released the V2 series to immense success. The redefinition of the Indica has now made it the best-seller in this segment. The Indica was conceived as a car ''with the overall size of a Maruti Zen, as much interior space as a Hindustan Ambassador and priced like the Maruti 800.'' The Indica has a 1405cc diesel engine. Its design is conceived by the Italian design house IDEA, and is based on the TUD 5 Peugeot. Its tea-drop highlights and bison tail-lamps are its unique features. The Indica is the roomiest car in its class, with fully-foldable rear-seat that allows you to accommodate extra luggage. It also has energy absorbing crumple zones, side-impact beams, a rigid monochrome frame and child-safety locks. In tune with its reputation of a world-class car, the Indica conforms to current European safety norms for frontal impact. The different Indica models are: DLE Diesel A/C, Diesel DLE and the Standard version.
