Tata Motors has expanded the long-wheel-base Indigo XL’s range with the launch of the Indigo XL Classic. The Indigo XL Classic offers a different trim level, while still offering more comfort and legroom than any of the other premium sedans. Earlier this year, Tata Motors had launched the Indigo XL in only the Grand version.
The new Indigo XL Classic shares several top-of-the-line features with the currently available Indigo XL Grand, such as the wood-trim interiors, the new-look AC fascia and instrument cluster, composite steering wheel, utility trays behind the seats, and a rear-seat centre armrest with cup holders. The rear seat still has the distinction of having the best rear seat inclination of 28.5 degrees among all sedans and of having the best legroom. Also available are the rear AC console with separate control, a chiller tray in the glove box, and a one-touch power windows in the front and rear. The seats are now upholstered in premium fabric, and the front seats offer 6- way manual adjustment along with lumbar adjustment.
The new version carries standard exterior features such as the dual-beam clear lens headlamps, sleek tail lamps, front fog lamps, chrome embellishments on the satin painted front grille, electrically operated outer rear view mirrors with blinkers, and also includes steel wheels with full hubcaps.
The Indigo XL Classic is available with the same petrol and diesel power plants as the Indigo XL Grand. The petrol variant is equipped with a 16V twin-cam engine and churns out 101 PS @ 6100 rpm. The diesel variant comes with the common rail diesel DICOR engine that generates 70 PS @ 4000 rpm.
The Indigo XL Classic 101PS petrol has been priced at Rs5.35 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) and the 70PS DICOR variant comes at a price of Rs6.15 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi).
