In 2002, Tata introduced India's most competitive indigenous sedan: the Indigo. Designed in-house, it is best thought of as a sedan version of the Tata Indica, with which it shares a large number of parts. It is usually referred as the working man's luxury car.
The station wagon version called the Indigo Marina (called the Indigo SW in export markets) was unveiled at the New Delhi Auto Expo 2004.
In 2005, Tata Motors released the Indigo SX, an upmarket version with a leather-trimmed steering wheel and leather seats, among other features like electrically operated outside rear view mirrors (ORVM), VCD player with LCD screens behind headrests, apart from the standard features like power steering, power windows and central locking. It competes with Honda City, Hyundai Accent and Maruti Esteem.
The Indigo range starts from around 4 lakh Indian rupees (Rs. 4,00,000) or USD 9000 and the range is topped by the SX, which is priced at Rs. 5,00,000 or USD 13000.
The Indigo family had a small facelift and relaunch in September 2006.
In January 2007, the Tata Indigo XL finally went on sale [1]. It features a 200mm stretch and a 101HP engine.
