In 1998, the Indian manufacturer Tata entered the world of private cars with the small Indica produced in collaboration with the Italian company I.DE.A and sold by Rover under the name City (in Great Britain only), during a very short period of time. The second generation, called Indica Vista, was launched in 2008. Note here the temporary registration plates of the state of Maharashtra.

For the Indian market, a car manufacturer has to offer in its range a cheap and spacious vehicle. In that category, the Toyota Innova is a hit. The local brand Tata had to develop a competitor. The Aria, launched in 2010, offers 7 seats, receives a turbo diesel engine and can be a front-wheel drive or a 4x4. This latter is reproduced here by Norev.

In 2008, the Indian group Tata, which designed of the famous "ultra-low cost" Nano, launched the Sumo Grande, a rustic 4x4 with a modern look. That same year, a pick-up variant, called Xenon, was also released. This model does not sell very well in its country of origin, but is doing OK outside India. At least, it is more successful abroad than the rest of the range.

Norev has released a first series of Tata models, with the Nano, Indica Vista and Indigo Venza in 1:43 scale. The model car manufacturer now completes the range of the Indian brand, with the Xenon pickup, the MPV Aria and the rustic minibus Venture. The latter, launched in 2011, is only 3.95 m/ 156 in.-long, transports up to 8 people and receives a small in-house 71 hp diesel engine.
