Tata Aria Test drive and Review
The styling of side profile is typical of an MUV. The christmas tree tail-lamps greets the rear end of Aria. Its hightime that Tata should find a new alternative to pillar mounted headlamps. However the twin elliptical exhaust is gorgeous. Overall styling of Aria is more of an MUV with SUV tone which many would like.
For an all new vehicle,Tata has surprisingly carried forward the Safari's 2.2L Dicor engine. But Tata says the engine is completely a different beast relative to one being used in safari or sumo grande. Aria powered by 2.2L DICOR engine produces 140PS at 4000rpm and 320Nm of peak torque between 1700rpm to 2700rpm. The engine has evolved with the addition of dual mass flywheel (DMF) which demands to run the engine at near idle rpms for better fuel efficiency. Tata has worked on the G-76 gearbox (used in safari) for Aria.
You would expect a crossover such as Tata Aria as monocoque built (like a CR-V), but Tata has opted for a ladder frame chassis. Tata engineers believe that ladder frame would suit for rugged Indian conditions. If Tata claims Aria has an underpinning of an SUV, it is logically true. But the downside Tata Aria is heavier (fatter than the Toyota fortuner). Aria weighs 2720kg. Tata Aria chassis is said to be 2.5 times stiffer than safari chassis due to hydroform construction for better dynamics. But out on the road, this bulky crossover is hard to handle. No amount of electronics managed to defy this (read ESP,TCS, ABS and disc brakes).
Aria rides on 235/65 R17 tyres on all wheels. Tata has intentionally added All-wheel drive / 4-wheel drive mode in all variants of Aria (termed as Adapterra). You would defaultly drive Aria in an 4WD mode but you can switch to 2WD only by simple push of button on the dash (see through the dash buttons harder to locate it). Aria is basically a rear wheel drive crossover on activating the 2WD it simply disengages the drive We didn't get a chance to discern the different driving modes.
Tata claims the Aria is a true seven seater. The 2-3-2 combination of three rows is made perfect. The third row as Tata says is not meant for kids but also average Indian adult. Surprisingly, you have considerable boot space too. Aria verstaility is unique and useful. The second and third row seat can be folded in various shapes to accommodate larger/longer objects. The second row seats (60:40 split) can be slided as well. All the three rows gets reading light and power point to charge the mobiles. The lack of need for the roof mounted vents (due to pillar mounted vents) has freed the roof space which Tata filled with utility bins. You can store everything you wish binoculars, sun glasses, maps and novels

Tata Aria clearly offers what is designed for ruggedness of an SUV, comfort of a sedan and versatility of an MPV. Aria is the first Indian crossover which indirectly means it is the first crossover designed with indians in mind. Tata has left no stone unturned. Aria sports pleasing design, loads of comfort features, spacious and versatile cabin, powerful engine, internationally acclaimed safety features and decent build quality. Hurrah! Aria is the best one to buy. Here's a word of caution. Behind the steering wheel, Aria is deterring. It drives scary and makes you fearful. But remember, India is a country where most 7-seaters are chauffeur driven.
