Team-BHP renders the upcoming 2014 Tata Indica Vista Facelift

Tata Motors is moving towards a new direction when it comes to design. We saw this happen with the Safari Storme, when the smiley Tata grille was ditched for a more aggressive stance. In line with the new design direction, the facelifted 2013 Tata Nano is expected to get a new front bumper and the facelifted Indigo eCS (due for launch on the 19th of June) will also get a tweaked front end. While all these vehicles represent minor changes in design, the real big move from Tata Motors in terms of adopting a new design direction could come with the facelifted Tata Indica Vista, a car due for a possible 2014 Indian Auto Expo unveil.  

The 2014 Tata Indica Vista facelift promises to be a comprehensive one, in which the older design makes way for an all new look. Inspired by the design of the Indigo Manza Hybrid showcased at the 2012 Indian Auto Expo, the 2014 Indica Vista promises to break new ground when it comes to the looks of a Tata car. The car's aggressive lines will eventually be adopted onto other Tata cars, thus replacing the smiling front end with a sharper look. The revamped 2014 Indica Vista could add a dash of excitement into Tata Motors' range, which has been saddled with products that have become dated when compared to what the competition has to offer. 

Team-BHP's sources have confirmed that work on the 2014 Vista revamp has already begun. Team-BHP's ace rendering artist Antler Road has come up with a speculative render depicting the 2014 Vista Facelift. The render shows a sharper front end, replete with projector headlamps that have a smoked finish, a new front bumper with raked lines and a new grille that has been borrowed from the Manza Hybrid Concept. Once the 2014 Indica Vista facelift gets the new style treatment, the Indigo Manza is expected to follow suit. Tata Motors is said to be working on improving quality all around and the changes should begin to show up in a few months from now. 

Cars from Tata Motors don't just suffer from an image problem, but also from niggles that may be attributed to shoddy workmanship or poor quality parts. With Mr Karl Slym at the helm, quality is said to be a major focus at Tata and eventually, better quality and processes could improve the overall desirability of Tata vehicles. The car maker is expected to begin the major refresh exercise with the 2014 Indica Vista and eventually, Tata Motors' entire range will get a total revamp. Until then, minor refreshes such as the 2013 Nano and the Indigo eCS facelift are expected to keep the numbers ticking for the Indian car and utility vehicle major.
