General information and overview

The Tata Indigo CS 2009, tailored for India, features a boot-extended body on the Indigo platform with 1396cc/1405cc diesel or 1193cc petrol engines, manual transmission, and 5-seater layout boasting generous legroom, high ground clearance for bad roads, and 500+ litre boot for luggage-heavy trips. I value its rugged suspension absorbing potholes, comfortable highway stability, and durable Tata build suited for taxis or families, though city heat induces vibrations, low-speed sluggishness, and average plastics demand care. Mileage hits 12.8-14 kmpl ARAI for diesels, translating to economical ownership with widespread service support. Key aspects include value-packed features like power steering in higher trims, reliable torque for overtakes, and low depreciation, positioning it as a practical used buy for space, affordability, and versatility in diverse Indian conditions.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

I find the Tata Indigo CS 2009 a solid choice for Indian buyers seeking a reliable, spacious sedan that excels on highways and delivers exceptional value in the used market today. With its 1396cc or 1405cc diesel engine pushing out decent torque for effortless cruising, it seats five comfortably with ample boot space ideal for family trips or taxi duties, and its high ground clearance handles our pothole-ridden roads admirably. I appreciate the sturdy build that stands up to daily abuse, though city driving reveals vibrations after the engine heats up and sluggish low-end response demands patience in traffic. Maintenance is straightforward at Tata service centers, but factor in frequent battery replacements every 1.5-2 years and minor plastic quality issues like dashboard wear. Fuel efficiency shines at 12-15 kmpl in mixed conditions, keeping running costs low for high-mileage users. At current used prices hovering around Rs 1.5-2.5 lakh depending on condition, it undercuts rivals in depreciation resistance, making it a smart buy if you prioritize space, durability, and economy over refinement—perfect for budget-conscious owners who negotiate well on accessories and service bills.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

Tata Motors discontinued the production of the Tata Indigo CS in April 2016, marking the end of an era for this popular compact sedan. The car had been on the market for several years and had undergone various updates and refreshes during its lifespan. I think the Indigo CS left a lasting impact on the Indian automotive market.
April 30, 2016
The Tata Indigo eCS was praised for its value for money, offering a range of features and a fuel-efficient engine at an affordable price. It was a popular choice among those looking for a budget-friendly sedan with good performance. I think it was one of the best value-for-money sedans of its time.
August 17, 2013
The Tata Indigo eCS received a significant design refresh in 2013, featuring redesigned body panels, chrome-inserts, smoked double-barreled headlamp housing, and a new 4-spoke steering wheel. This refresh also included the addition of ABS and a 2-DIN audio system with Bluetooth pairing. I think this refresh gave the car a much-needed modern look.
August 16, 2013
In 2013, Tata Motors introduced variants of the Indigo eCS with factory-fitted CNG kits, called the Indigo eCS e-Max. This move was aimed at providing a more fuel-efficient option for consumers. I believe this was a smart move to cater to the growing demand for CNG vehicles.
August 16, 2013
The Tata Indigo eCS was known for its spacious interior, generous legroom, and large boot space. It also featured modern amenities like automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and a integrated audio system. I think these features made it a comfortable and practical choice for many buyers.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In 2009, the Tata Indigo CS ex-showroom prices in India started at Rs 3.85 lakh for base petrol variants, climbing to Rs 4.33-5.26 lakh for diesel models like the 1405cc and 1396cc options, with on-road figures adding Rs 50,000-80,000 for insurance, registration, and taxes, landing around Rs 4.4-6 lakh depending on city and variant. I see this as a bargain even back then, undercutting competitors like the Maruti SX4 or Hyundai Accent while packing similar space and diesel efficiency, and today in the used market, well-maintained 2009 units fetch Rs 1-2.5 lakh ex-showroom equivalent, with on-road adding minimal transfer costs of Rs 20,000-40,000. This steep value retention impresses me, as low acquisition costs paired with cheap parts—service bills rarely exceed Rs 5,000—make total ownership economical for taxi fleets or personal use. Negotiate freebies like fog lamps during purchase, and you'll maximize returns; avoid neglected examples to dodge hidden repair bills, ensuring it remains a thrifty pick for mileage-focused buyers in India's price-sensitive market.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

I recommend the Tata Indigo CS 2009 diesel for Indian buyers eyeing low running costs, delivering real-world 12-15 kmpl with AC and up to 20 kmpl on highways per user reports, better than petrol's 10 kmpl. Diesel's torque suits our traffic, keeping fuel bills under Rs 4/km at current rates—ideal for high-km drivers despite city vibrations.
