Why would one buy the Indigo E-CS ?
The USP of the E -series Indigo e CS is its all new CR4 bharat stage IV engine (Common rail Diesel ) engine . TATA motors claims an astounding mileage of 23.03 kmpl for the Diesel variant which is by far the highest mileage claimed for any Sedan in India. The mileage factor contributes to one of the main convincing reasons to buy an Indigo e CS . Adding to the new comfort features , the TATA Indigo e-CS comes with a unbelievable and unrivalled competitive ex showroom price ,( 494,550.00 (Diesel) and 411,291.00(petrol) ) that is hard to resist , given the costly hatchbacks hovering in the market.
The new CR4 Engine with its Bharat Stage compliance would be definetly a better performing and a more silent engine than the older version. A test drive of the Indigo E-CS would be worth an option before deciding to jump for other hatchbacks nad sedan, given the relatively low after sales servicing and the huge service network that is second only to Maruti in India.
