Tata Motors unveils 2 new models with DICOR engine

New Delhi, Feb 11: Auto major Tata Motors has launched two new models -- Indigo Sedan and Indigo Marina -- with its new 1.4 litre Direct Injection Common Rail (DICOR) diesel engine.

The Indigo Sedan and the Indigo Marina station-wagon are priced at Rs 5.85 lakh and Rs 5.98 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) respectively.

Last month, the company had unveiled the facelifted 2007 Indica and the long wheel-based Indigo XL.

The DICOR option will be available in the top end versions of Indigo Sedan and Indigo Marina estate a statement said.

The silent, 32 bit microprocessor based 1.4 litre, 70 PS engine with a high torque of 140 Nm offers the most contemporary diesel engine technology, featuring high pressure multiple injections, use of hydraulic and low friction mechanisms ensuring better combustion and more fuel efficiency.

The 16-valve engine has Dual Overhead Camshafts, enhancing the high end power output of the engine and a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), which minimises the turbo lag at lower engine rpms for improved driveability.

Tata Motors launched its first common rail diesel engine on the Tata Safari in 2005 as a 3 litre configuration and between the naturally aspirated, turbo-charged, turbo-charged intercooled and common rail options, offers the most diverse diesel engine range on any car and utility vehicle range in the country.
