Tata has introduced an additional, limited edition version of its Indica hatch called the Flash.
As an added-value offering, the new Flash is based on the Indica LGi model, with a number of additions to its features.
The Flash has more standard features than its main competitors in the market. At a price of R124 995, it is only R6 000 higher than the standard Indica, while the value of the added features and equipment far exceeds this.
Tata is confident that the Indica Flash special edition is going to be a success as it is a true value-for-money offering aimed at first-time buyers and those with a limited budget.
Outside, people will be able to identify this model with its bold black stripes, incorporating the Flash logo, running along the bottom of the doors, as well as the Flash logo on the corner of the bonnet. The steel wheels have also been replaced with distinctive, spoked alloy mag wheels.
However, the scope of the big upgrade comes once one sits in the Flash. Firstly, there are leather seats with the Flash logo embroidered on top of the front seats, while the steering-wheel has a soft leather grip. A sound system with USB and hands-free Bluetooth connections have also been added.
The Indica Flash is powered by a 1,4-litre engine which turns the Flash’s front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.
It also has a claimed overall fuel consumption of 6,5 litres of every 100km.
The Indica Flash is covered by a three-year/100 000km warranty and has a two-year/45 000km service plan plus road side assistance.
There is also a launch special finance package available from Tata.
