Indian automaker Tata Motors launched Indica V2 Xeta LPG equipped with dual fuel engine having the options of petrol and LPG. This would reduce the CO2 emissions by 10% and increase the fuel efficiency.
The LPG variant comes with a 1.2 litre MPFI engine with two Electronic Control Units in master-slave configuration. It generates a maximum power of 65.3 PS @ 5000 rpm with petrol and 62 PS @ 5000 rpm with LPG. The peak torque of 102Nm @2600 rpm ensures a smooth drive in city conditions. The engine meets BSIII emission norms and can be upgraded to meet Euro IV norms.
The Xeta LPG ensures a smooth transition between the two fuel modes even on the move. The electronically controlled gas MPFI sequential injection system provides significant safety, performance and emission related advantages over competitive offerings.
The Xeta LPG is available in two variants — GLE and GLS. The GLE variant which comes with AC is priced at Rs. 3.27 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi), while the Xeta LPG GLS variant which comes with AC, power steering, and body colored bumpers is priced at Rs. 3.42 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi). The variants will be available in a range of five attractive color options, at select showrooms across the country.
