Detailed analysis of the TATA Indica 1.4 MPFI Full Equip. · 85 CV (2006-2007)
General description
The 2002 TATA Indica 1.4 MPFI Full Equip is a vehicle that, despite its age, still sparks curiosity. With an 85 hp gasoline engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, this model was presented as an economical and functional option for urban and peri-urban mobility. Its compact design and 'Full Equip' features aimed to offer a simple and accessible driving experience.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the TATA Indica, the feeling is that of an honest and unpretentious car. The rack-and-pinion steering, although lacking the precision of more modern systems, fulfills its function. The 85 hp engine, with its transverse front layout, offers adequate response for daily use, although one should not expect great acceleration. The McPherson type suspension on the front axle and the ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear provide predictable and safe handling for its segment. A top speed of 160 km/h and a combined consumption of 6.4 l/100km reflect its practical approach.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the TATA Indica is functional and without great aesthetic pretensions. Its lines are simple and its 5-door body, with dimensions of 3660 mm long, 1625 mm wide, and 1496 mm high, makes it manageable in urban environments. The interior, although not outstanding for its materials, offers enough space for five occupants and a 220-liter trunk, suitable for basic needs. The overall aesthetic is that of a car designed for utility, with an image that evokes the simplicity of the early 2000s.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2002 TATA Indica 1.4 MPFI Full Equip is situated in a context where electronics were not as predominant as today. Its indirect injection engine and 5-speed manual gearbox are proven mechanical elements. It does not have advanced driving assistance systems or sophisticated connectivity. Its 'Full Equip' refers to basic comfort and safety features of the time, such as power steering and possibly electric windows, but without the innovations we take for granted today. The environmental label C indicates that it complies with the emission regulations of its time.
Competition
At the time, the TATA Indica competed in the segment of economical utility vehicles. Its direct rivals were models such as the Dacia Logan, the Hyundai Getz, or the Chevrolet Aveo, cars that prioritized price and functionality over luxury or sporty performance. It also faced entry-level versions of more established models such as the Fiat Punto or the Renault Clio, albeit with a different value proposition, more oriented towards acquisition and maintenance economy.
Conclusion
The 2002 TATA Indica 1.4 MPFI Full Equip is a car that represents an era and a philosophy of automobile: that of offering a basic, economical, and reliable transport solution. It does not seek to excite with its performance or dazzle with its technology, but to fulfill its purpose of taking its occupants from point A to point B efficiently. It is a vehicle for those who value simplicity, practicality, and adjusted acquisition and maintenance costs. A car that, despite the years, remains a testament to the democratization of the automobile.
