Equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, the body-colored rub rails with chrome inserts add to the look of the Tata Aria.

Designed to achieve an optimal balance between ride comfort, control and stability, the suspension of the Ariais tuned for both normal roads and off-roading conditions. Its low-roll characteristics and higher soaking capacity ensures sedan-like ride quality and SUV-like off-road capability.

Plush leather seats with beige fabric upholstery, door trims, height-adjustable driver's seat, a tilt-adjustable steering and leather wrap for the steering wheel - all add to the innate sense of sophistication inside the cabin, along with the most comfortable driving positions.

The glasshouse of the Aria offers commanding visibility. Passengers can simply walk into the Aria, rather than having to climb up or lower themselves into the cabin. The three-row theatre style flexible seating ensures ample space. Like the driver and the front passenger seat, the second row seats can also be slid fore and aft to increase legroom. Both the second row and third row seats are fully collapsible to make the car roomier for accessories and luggage for that special weekend journey.

Roof utility bins, a glove-box chiller and conveniently placed cup holders helps keep everything you want within easy reach. Keyless entry with a remote integrated key and power windows with Express Down switches add to the comfort and convenience of the Aria.

As you drive out, the In-dash Navigation System, Power retractable ORVMs and an Ultrasonic Reverse Guide System, guides you to your destination, with the Driver Information System (DIS) indicating essential drive data, continuously.

Cruise Control on the steering allows the driver to set the vehicles speed. Steering mounted Blue 5 Connect for phones and music controls, helps switch between music and conversation at the touch of a button.

To aid safety, the Aria's ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) senses any mismatch between a driver's intended direction and the actual direction of the car, automatically intervening to apply braking force to the appropriate wheel,thereby stabilising the vehicle. Along with ESP, the Aria's Traction Control (TCS) maintains stability under situations of sudden acceleration.

The 4x4 Adapterra torque-on-demand system of the Ariasenses the various terrain conditions, automatically supplying torque in varying proportions between the front and rear axles, aiding off-road driving, as well as stability on normal roads.

The Aria also comes with Perimetric Alarm System for added security.
