Tata
Motors is a company whose legacy runs through the nation beyond
automobiles. It is a company which defined automobiles over years and
was a true pioneer in every sense. With innovative designs and some of
the iconic automobiles created from its stable, Tata Motors constantly
evolved in its designs. The company forayed into various automobile
segments and even acted as a pioneer in quite a few segments. After
ruling the hatchback market with its iconic Indica Vista and acquiring
the legend Jaguar as well as the charming SUV Land Rover, Tata Motors
decided to venture into the regular commuter segment in the nation. One
of the recent attempts by the company is the Tata Venture
, which is designed to enable a comfortable drive to eight passengers,
who can be seated in three front facing rows. To cater the needs of a
slightly personalized customer base, Tata Venture is also designed for
five and seven seater capacity. The luggage can also be settled in the
vehicle aptly and being a true van, it can accommodate a perfect picnic
adventure for its customers. The Tata Venture is designed to handle
heavy loads with ease. The exclusive space for bottles, maps and books
which can be arranged in a certain position, so that the overall trip
can be rather organized instead of creating a clutter for the customers.
Comfort is one of the factors Tata Motors never took for granted. Be it
the hatchback Tata Vista or the recent innovative Tata Nano, all these
vehicles offer promising performance and comfortable ride. These
features are something, which make Tata Motors distinct from its
counterparts. With features like power steering, air conditioning,
keyless entry and power windows, which are further added with an engine
immobilizer rear wipers, all of which reflect contemporary design
features and innovative engineering expertise, which not just makes the
ride in Tata Venture a pleasure, but also makes it classy and appealing
in all ways. The dashboard of Tata Venture is devoid of any massive
buttons and confusing options, but was rather kept to bare minimum with
just the instrument panel and easy to operate set of buttons.
The interior upholstery is designed in a two tone fashion with beige and black theme. The looks of interiors are not just the only defining factors as the exteriors are also innovative and distinct from other vehicles in the market. This vehicle is offered in three variants to suit individual personal requirements. Tata Venture LX, Tata Venture EX and Tata Venture GX are the three variants offered in the vehicles. Tata Venture is fitted with 1.4-litre turbo engine which manages to create a maximum output of 70bhp. The fuel economy of the Tata Venture is 15.42 Kmpl as certified by ARAI. The engine is fit under the seat in the front. Tata Motors claims that Venture offers a two year or 75000 Kms warranty, whichever comes first, which is really a promising service by the company and reflects its confidence in the engineering design. The most important feature however remains in the design principles of the vehicle, which makes it a promising vehicle in the market, which may actually rewrite the minivan and commuter designs.
When a minivan or a commuter comes into the automobile
market, it has to face a tough competition from the existing players
while also matching the expectations of the customers, who might be
finding some flaws in the existing models, which might have led them to
venture into this new vehicle. Tata Motors, for one, has been well known to offer a decent mileage and a very fuel economic design.
The multi utility vehicle or the minivan version Tata Venture too
offers similar comfortable design parameters. The 1.4-litre TCIC engine
of the vehicle ensures in providing a promising performance, which
scores both in the drive comfort with speed and control as well as the
mileage it runs the vehicle on. The spacious vehicle which accommodates a
large Indian family with ease is designed to run on diesel, which means
that it will obviously assure a better mileage though the performance
might not be as flawless as petrol. The Tata Venture comes with a four
cylinder, 1.4-litre turbo diesel engine with a displacement of 1405cc
and is capable of producing about 15.42 Kmpl, when driven under standard
conditions.

Power of Tata Venture
When a vehicle is designed to handle almost eight passengers,
it is destined to have enough power to get rolling. Tata Venture stayed
true to its promise of providing a genuinely powerful vehicle. With a 1405cc engine offers a promising power to sustain long drives at peace. The 70bhp of maximum output at 4500rpm is enough considering the simple desig
n, which is actually interesting as it does not weigh as much as
conventional eight seater's do. The torque of 135rpm at 2500rpm is a
satisfactory number. The multi utility segment anyways is an evolving
segment and not everyday do vehicles offering a superior performance and
excellent build at an affordable range are available. And when they do,
mostly they are made by companies as versatile and as innovative as
Tata Motors. With the superior features which do not consume much of
vehicles power, while maintaining the basic defining factors of a multi
utility vehicle, Tata Venture definitely is a powerful vehicle. The fact
that the vehicle runs on diesel just acts as an icing providing an even
durable fuel efficiency and a better vehicle functioning.
Interiors of Tata Venture are a reflection of the growing
contemporary design ethics of Tata Motors. Offering efficient build
quality and exceptional designing, Tata Venture's interiors offer a
refreshing appeal. The space is one of the first things that comes to
customers mind when Tata Venture is to be explained. Despite its
relatively small exterior dimensions, Tata Venture did not leave
anything small in the interiors. The leg room and head room of the
vehicle are exceptionally big making the vehicle a worthy commuter. The
front dash is designed with the controls situated in the middle in a
different tone from the dashboard. The appealing symmetric dashboard
offers a futuristic design statement. With two glove boxes, 12 V
electrical ports and the music system provision, the interiors create a
revolutionary design out of the vehicle. Despite being an
economical model, the interiors are not compromised and offer
exceptional comfort. The three spoke steering wheel gives a sporty feel
to the vehicle and the information panel cluster is accurately designed
to explain only elements required to be accessed.
Interior Comfort:
Interiors of Tata Venture are designed to offer comfort not just in terms of space but also in terms of the feel it offers in the space provided. With the co driver seat being as luxurious as the drivers, the front drive would become an experience worth having. The rear seats are very well designed so that eight passengers could sit with ease in the vehicle. The rear seats are spacious and offer a proper leg room and head room. The safety features such as seat belts are taken care of. Cup holders are placed for the rear passengers, so that the ride can transform into a pleasurable one. With a music system with four speakers, power windows, HVAC with dual air conditioning and roof mounted louvers, power steering in the front and vanity mirrors, Tata Venture offers best in class comfort. The keyless entry system and the engine immobilizer offer an efficient design statement. Moreover, the vehicle features an innovative rear seat window design where the ventilation is maintained, but the vehicle remains more securely built as it would not particularly sabotage its design with sliding windows as seen in regular vehicles because, in that case the robust build of the framework cannot be created.
Interior Measurement:
With an over all length of 3950mm, Tata Venture features a decent interior spacing to allocate sufficient space for all the eight passengers. And the 1565mm width just ensures that the allotment would be in a more comfortable manner. As the width increases, so does the comfort associated with it and the passengers need not feel crammed in the vehicle, but can rather enjoy the luxurious ride offered by it. The vehicle has a gross weight of 1990 kgs, which is considerably low but considering the passengers it allots, reducing the vehicle weight acts in favor of the Tata Venture as the engine does not face much load. The fuel tank has a capacity to accommodate 35 litres of fuel, so that long rides can be hand.
Acceleration & Pick-Up
For a multi utility vehicle, Tata Venture does a pretty decent job in offering a comfortable ride at top speeds such as 60 Kmph to 90 Kmph.
This is actually enhanced and to an extent made possible by the 1405cc
engine. The powerful acceleration of the vehicle is evident in the way
it cruises at speeds as high as 70 Kmph. The pick up of the Tata Venture
too earns perfect points as it takes on most of its contemporaries
probably due to the simple design or the perfect weight distribution of
the structure.
Exteriors are a factor which actually act as a deal breaker
for any utility vehicle. No matter how comfortable and well equipped the
vehicle is, without the perfect exterior build, the vehicle is mostly
doomed to fail. Tata Motors however did an amazing job in coming up with
a vehicle that is not just technically perfect but also scores in
design aspects. The extremely beautiful curves run across the vehicle
from the front and rear profile while the mid section is maintained
perfectly geometrical. The futuristic design of Tata Venture is proudly
displayed to public for the very first time in Auto Expo 2010. Indian
Automobile customers ever since considered the Venture, one of the most
anticipated vehicles and Tata Motors ensured not to disappoint the
customers. The look does seem reminiscent of the European design ethics.
The aesthetically appealing design of Tata Venture also makes it a
versatile build, which can easily transform from being a transportation
vehicle to a family vehicle. It can easily blend into any market on any
terrain. The MUV is given a four door build of which two side doors are
sliding. The windows have a subtle yet prominent crease in black running
along the edges which act as an eyeliner to eye fulfilling similar purpose, enhancing the vehicle's beauty.
The front fascia offers a simple design, which enhances the necessary
aspects to suit the customers. The front windshield is exceptionally
large and its evenly distributed design certainly makes the vehicle more
connected to the surroundings. The front grille makes a subtle design
statement, where the logo of Tata embellishes the grille under its
chrome lining. The headlamp cluster is placed aptly along the edges, so
that the front elements do not look cramped yet succeed in providing a
better traveling appeal. The headlamps have small tail lamps situated
right under them. A front air intake section is positioned between the
tail lamps and the front grille, which successfully transforms these
elements into a synchronized surreal hour glass.
The design statement is simply a pleasure to watch. The door knobs are embedded in the design. The mid row seat doors are a sliding structured and are perfect for the segment. There hardly seems a match for this vehicle due to the stylish appeal it creates. The front door surprisingly extends almost till the front framework. By reducing the framework clutter, Tata Venture does what its predecessors could not totally achieve, create a spacious vehicle out of a small structure. The 14 inch wheels are enough to maintain a decent off road capability as the wheel distribution in the framework and out of the framework is pretty balanced. The sliding door is a perfect geometrical structure which extends across the framework with ease. The wheel arches are perfectly built with a simple design transition and subtle details. The fuel tank is positioned behind the rear wheel system. The most impressive feature in the design can be noted in the window strength, which extends from the B pillar to the rear in a synchronized way as a whole block rather than intermediate pillar details. The glass offers a glossy finish to this block window structure, which successfully gives the vehicle a futuristic look. The detailing in the front with subtle aerodynamic lines make the vehicle a pleasure to drive and a possession to possess.
Exterior Measurement:
The exteriors dimensions of Tata Venture are by far its highest scorers as far as design is concerned. Tata miraculously maintained a simple dimension set without compromising with the interiors. The overall length is a mere 3950mm, which helps it maneuver through the streets with ease. The width of the vehicle is also settled at 1565mm, while the height of 1878mm ensures that even taller people can have a comfortable ride. The wheel base of Tata Venture is 2100mm and the ground clearance offered by the vehicle is 160m

Tata Venture Engine and Performance
Tata Venture comes with the four cylinder 1.4litre turbo diesel engine,
which is capable of producing an output of 70bhp at 4500rpm and an
equally powerful 135Nm torque at 2500rpm. This engine is mated with a
5-speed manual transmission gear box.
Stereo & Accessories in Tata Venture
Tata Venture essentially is a commuter and hence main focus was laid on the functioning excellence of the vehicle rather than the interior luxury extensions. This is probably the reason Tata Venture is not equipped any advanced or heavy duty stereo system. But it does offer a decent music system, which does the job equally good . The main advantage however remains in pleasing the first time commuters who can stay completely entertained with the offered speaker, which is equipped with four speakers so that the entertainment factor does not go out of the luxurious travel offered by Tata Venture.Wheels
Tata Venture has a hefty build and the tyres should go
according to that structure, so that excessive commuting can be
facilitated without any hassles. This vehicle features 165 R14 LT 8PR tyres. These 14 inch tyres help the vehicle in not just offering a comfortable travel, but also helps it in offering a visually appealing look.
Tata Venture definitely is a vehicle to look forward to
not just for its striking exteriors or innovative machinery, but also
for the way the interiors. It is equipped with drum brakes both in the front and rear sections.
Apparently Tata Motors tried to make it a promising commuter vehicle by
offering it the agility and strength to withstand any type of terrain
and this attempt is evident in its over all design. The front section of
the vehicle features independent strut type anti roll bar suspension,
while the rear offers multi link suspension with coil springs.
With striking exteriors and highly appealing interiors,
Tata Venture has everything to offer in terms of comfort, safety and an
exceptional handling. The Tata Venture is designed to comply the safety norms asserted by the Indian government.
The company has tried to create a balance between the nostalgic design
features and evolving technological elements which reflects the reasons
to buy this vehicle even more. With collapsible steering and the front
crash reinforcement, side impact protection beam offer the required
safety features. These are further enhanced by the engine immobilizer,
child lock, fog lamps in front fascia and reverse guide system. The Tata
Venture also handles pretty decently inspite of its heavy passenger and
baggage handling capability.
