Tata Motors has launched Super Ace Mint LCV in India at a price of Rs. 5.09 lakh (ex-showroom, Thane).

The Mint has a loading bay measuring 2630 mm in length. It is powered by a 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder common rail diesel engine which produces 69 bhp and delivers max torque over 1800-3000 rpm. The engine is compliant with BS4 emission norms. Tata Motors claims that the vehicle can attain a top speed of 125 kph and return a fuel consumption figure of of 17.9 kpl. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at the front and 254 mm drum brakes at the rear. The Mint has independent suspension and 14-inch wheels shod with radial tyres.

The Super Ace Mint has been equipped with 3-point retractable seat belts, power steering and blower. An HVAC system is available as an option. Other features include adjustable driver and passenger fabric seats with headrests, a body-coloured bumper and wheel caps.

Tata Motors is giving a warranty of 1 year or 50,000 km (whichever is earlier) on the Super Ace Mint. The vehicle is available in four colours - Blazing Red, Castle Grey, Arctic White and Meteor Silver.

I think this is nothing but the Tata Venture without a Cab shell and some modifications to carry load.

Assuming that this vehicles engine is BSIII, it could be the one used in Vista TDI and Tata Venture.

I think its the CR4 motor otherwise they will have issues in getting it registered in many regions.

Seems to be the 'premium version' of the Ace. IIRC, the Ace Zip is the base and costs under 3 lakh rupees. This vehicle is the default choice of small businesses in India. I don't have the latest numbers, but remember the Ace selling 8,000 - 9,000 units in some months of 2014. Down on 2013 volumes, but the recent budget which pushes rural reforms should only see such small CVs in huge demand again.

Looks really nice in the picture provided. With 69 horses, it should be a quick pickup too. With a kerb weight of 800 odd kilos, it'll accelerate faster than some underpowered hatchbacks I know . This variant though is rather expensive though. Isuzu launched the more substantial D-Max @ 5.99 lakhs last year!

The vehicle is BS4 compliant as Aditya mentioned in opening note.
