List of Tata Cars in India
Finding a new car is time-consuming, as there are several options in the Indian four-wheeler market. However, customers in India are mainly concerned about the “kitna deti hai” (what’s the car’s mileage?). In addition, safety should also be equally as much of a concern as mileage. And safety doesn’t solely mean safety features but also build quality. At the same time, patrons want other features suited for comfort, convenience, and entertainment. That said, a vehicle should be an overall package at an affordable price, and that’s why you are here to learn more about Tata cars in India. The new-age Tata cars are well-built, loaded with features, and have impressive reliability. And these factors add up to make Tata cars among the bestsellers in their respective segments. For reference, there are currently thirteen Tata models offered by Tata Motors.
So, below is the list of a few cars manufactured by the indigenous carmaker. All cars’ average ex-showroom prices will be in ascending order. However, it is worth mentioning that these prices are as of October 2022 and can vary from state to state or dealer to dealer. For more guidance, you can visit the autoX website.
