Tata Indicruz

Tata Motors intends to bring its new MUV model Indicruz in the Indian market by early 2011. The model will be built on the existing Tata Safari platform which will keep its cost low, while it will be equipped with the same 2.2L, 2197cc Dicor engine that currently powers the Tata Safari.    Thus the expected mileage of the new Tata Indicruz is going to be 9-10 kmpl which is similar to Safari. It will compete with models like Toyota Innova and Mahindra Scorpio which are the strongest players in the segment.
The salient features of the Tata Indicruz include large front grille, 17 inch alloy wheel, mirror mounted indicators and a seating capacity of 7 people. The Indicruz will be available in petrol as well as diesel variant. The spacious features and roomy interiors for long haul journeys make it likely to be extremely popular in the commercial segment for private taxis, BPOs and corporate carriers.
The upcoming Tata Indicruz is based on X-over concept model of Tata Motors which was earlier showcased at the Geneva Motors Show. The Indicruz has already witnessed a lot of cold weather testing in Sweden and is also being tested on the outskirts of Pune.
The expected price of the Tata Indicruz is Rs. 9 lakh and above.
