Tata Motors unveils Aria 4x2 in Bangalore

Tata Motors today launched its new premium car Aria 4x2 in the local market.

"The pleasure of the Aria, combining the finesse of a sedan with the muscle of an Sports Utility Vehicle, can now be availed by a larger customer segment," Tata Motors Utility Vehicles Head, Rajesh Nair, told reporters here.

The Tata Aria range along with the 4x2 range is being made available in 85 cities through 150 showrooms in phase-I, Nair said.

The Tata Aria 4x2 range will be available from Rs 11.71 lakh onwards (ex-showroom, Bangalore), he added.

A company statement said Aria 4x2 range will be available in three trim levels - Aria Prestige, Aria Pleasure and Aria Pure.

It has features like 2.2 litre Direct Injection Common Rail (DICOR) engine, with variable turbine technology and 32-bit ECU delivers 140 PS power and 320 Nm torque, it said.

It is also equipped with a dual mass flywheel which isolates torsional vibrations from the powertrain, thus providing a NVH free environment in the cabin, it said.

The new Mark II gearbox is perfectly mated to the engine ensuring smooth power delivery and precise shifting, the company said.

The suspension of Aria 4x2 is designed to achieve an optimal balance between ride comfort and control and stability, both on normal roads and in offroading.

Its low-roll characteristics and higher soaking capacity further ensure a sedan-like ride quality and SUV-like offroading capability, the company said.
