Published here at :The facelift of Tata Aria on sale
The Tata Aria has been in the Indian market since October 2010 and as yet;
the car has really struggled with regards to sales. Despite its high quality cabin and a reasonably potent diesel engine, the Aria is outclassed in the current presence of Toyota Innova and the Mahindra XUV 500. After introducing 2WD and cut-price variants to boost sales, Tata Motors has now launched the face lifted 2014 style of its full-size MPV. The face lifted Aria is currently for sale with prices starting from Rs 9.95 lakh for the base-spec Pure LX 4×2 variant, going all the way to Rs 14.74 lakh for the top-spec 4×4 Pride variant.
In terms of design updates, the new Aria features a different treatment for the headlights and clear lens tail lights and ‘Aria’ decals on the sides. Inside, the greatest upgrade is available in the form of a premium Harman Kardon infotainment system. Under the hood, Tata has worked on the existing 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine for refinement and improved performance. The new Aria, as a result, puts out 150bhp, 10bhp more as contrary to the outgoing model. The torque figure, too, is enhanced to 320Nm to boost fuel economy and acceleration. The upgraded engine is paired with a reworked gearbox which helps reduce NVH levels.
