Advanced Features (Luxury, Comfort and Safety) Rating of Tata Aries While the Aria is designed to give you an excellent driving experience on and off the road, it is equipped with extensive safety features that provide you with the highest level of protection. Aria's safety features can be categorized into Active safety featues, or those features which prevent accidents and passive safety features, or those features that minimize injury in case of accidents. Safety During panic braking or while braking on slippery surfaces with normal brakes, the vehicle goes into a skid and the steering becomes unresponsive, thus resulting in an accident. The Aria is equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System along with Electronic Brake Force Distribution. The ABS system prevents the brakes from locking. This ensures that the tyres retain traction and steering remains responsive, thus preventing accidents. ABS is effective even on slippery surfaces such as wet roads or ice. The Electronic Brake force distribution distributes the brake force as per the dynamic requirement sensed for each wheel while braking. This increases braking efficiency and shortens the braking distance. y State-of-the-art world class pneumatically automated workshops y Qualified and trained Technicians, Service Advisors and Customer Relationships Officers. y Use of special tools and quality parameters for repairs. y Best in industry labour charges. y 24 hours helpline and a breakdown help line vehicle y 100% assurance of usage of genuine Tata Motors spare parts. y Usage of specially blended lubricants and long lasting paints y 1 year warranty on workmanship on all kinds of repairs These are just some of the many facilities that we provide to you. y Comprehensive AC repairs conducted using modern AC charging machines. y Comprehensive accidental repairs done by experts in Body and Paint shop Technology y Value Added Services - Car Care Treatments, Anti Rust Applications, 18 + 18 / 18 + 30 extended Warranty benefits, fuel additives, engine decarbonizing, etc. y Service Packages - Gold club member ship, Annual Maintenance contract, Annual Scheduled Service contract, Vehicle Health checkup plan, etc. y Availability of ³Value for Money´ Reconditioned aggregates like engines, power steering, AC compressors (Reconditioned by OEMs) Tata Aria Review Tata Aria Update 11 October, 2010 - Finally ! The much-awaited first Indian four-wheel drive crossover Tata Aria has been launched with an array of luxury features. The all new Tata Aria gets a 2.2 litre, DICOR CRDI Diesel Engine with dual mass flywheel under its bonnet that lays out maximum power of 140 PS and maximum torque of 320 Nm through new Mark II gearbox. Tata Aria comes in three exciting variants i.e. Pride, Prestige and Pleasure. The vehicle sports sound technologies such as 4x4 Adapterra Torque-on-Demand System, In-dash GPS-based Navigation System, Electronic Stability Programme, Traction Control System, etc. The Tata Aria also comes packed various safety and comfort features that include Six airbags (driver, front passenger, side and curtain airbags), ABS with EBD, Darkness Sensing Lights, Driver Information System, Automatic Climate Control, Premium leather upholstery, three-row theatre style flexible seating, Electrically adjustable and retractable ORVMs, Reverse Guide Camera, steering mounted phone and music control, etc. Tata Motors has lofty ambitions. You can¶t ignore the fact that it wants to be a global player especially since the acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover. Then the Nano put it firmly on the global map, and though it wasn¶t a car that the developed world necessarily needed, it firmly established Tata Motors as an innovative manufacturer that could accomplish what it set out to do no matter what the odds. The Nano clearly built a reputation for Tata Motors that it was a force to be reckoned with. The Nano gave Tata Motors the impetus it needed but critically missing was a product that global markets could find appealing enough to drive. That is where the Aria, Tata Motors¶ foray in to the luxury MUV segment, steps in (though Tata Motors bills it as a crossover). But before that vehicle could be introduced to global markets, Tata Motors wanted it to be appreciated by the Indian audience. In traditional form, the Aria was launched at the NCPA in Mumbai in Ratan Tata¶s presence. So what exactly is the Aria, and what does it promise? PLATFORM The Aria is built on a completely new platform similar to the IMV platform from Toyota which supports the Innova, the Fortuner and the Hilux pick-up or the Volkswagen A Series platform which supports the Audi TT, the Golf, the Jetta and the Skoda Octavia (Laura). A platform is basically a set of components, technologies, engineering modules and production set-up that is shared between various products of differing types and styles. The Aria is just one critical cog in a whole new platform developed by Tata Motors which in the future will also support a new SUV to replace the Safari, a pick-up or UV for rural markets and an MUV. This platform internally designated the X2 (X1 being the Manza, Indigo platform) can be used in RWD and 4x4 form. The inherent base for this platform is the steel hydro-formed ladder frame chassis with a body-on-frame construction. It¶s a completely new design and one that in our tests showed sufficient rigidity and comfort. Now in the case of the Aria, Tata Motors claims that it is India¶s first crossover, which means it should blend the character of a full size sedan with that of an estate or an SUV. Which it does, so in that sense I have to agree that Tata Motors has got the framework spot on. But globally crossovers employ a monocoque chassis to provide dynamic abilities similar to those of a sedan with limited off-road capabilities. In the case of the Aria, it¶s one of very few vehicles to offer a body-on-frame construction though it does offer a full time 4WD package sans a low ratio transfer case. So where it will have some capability off the road, I didn¶t expect the ride and handling to compare with a sedan. Or does it?

However, globally, crossovers employ a monocoque chassis to provide dynamic abilities similar to a sedan¶s with limited off-road capabilities. The Aria is among the very few vehicles with a body-on-frame construction though it does offer a full time 4WD package sans a low ratio transfer case. So besides some off-road capability, I didn¶t expect the ride and handling of a sedan. Tata Motors has come up with some great designs beginning with the Sierra. The Indica may not warrant a second glance now but the original IDeA Institute designed profile certainly looked stunning at launch. The Nano¶s highly aesthetic packaging blitzed global critics and it proved to be most efficient and quite good looking in our 2010 anniversary mega hatch comparison. The Aria is stunning visually. It was first showcased as the Xover concept at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. Interestingly, in production form it has retained nearly all the same lines and design elements as the concept except for the funky headlamps.
