NEW DELHI — Almost lost in blitz of new products at the 2010 New Delhi Auto Show here, the Tata Venture is a rather conventional-looking compact MPV with accommodations for up to eight occupants.
Based on the Tata Winger platform and measuring 154 inches long, the Venture is powered by the 69-horsepower 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine from the Indica, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Aimed at such local competitors as the Maruti Eeco, it will be available in five-, six-, seven- and eight-seat configurations.
Among the features on the showcar are sliding side doors, dual heating and air-conditioning, a reverse parking aid and keyless entry.
The Venture goes on sale in India in July.
Inside Line says: Hardly groundbreaking in design and features, but nevertheless aimed squarely at the heart of India's domestic market. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
