The much-awaited crossover from the Tata Motors stable, called Aria is showcased at the ongoing 10th Auto Expo and is scheduled for launch in the next three months. It's expected to be priced around Rs 12.5- 14.5 lakh in the market.


The Aria crossover has three rows of seating, 3D surround sound, dimming roof lamps, an in-dash GPS, multifunction steering wheel, dual-zone air-conditioning, cruise control, and six airbags.


There will be three variants of the Aria and will have both all wheel (4x4) as well as two wheel drive options (4x2). The car will be competing against vehicles like Honda CR-V, Toyota Fortuner and GM Captiva in the market.


Tata Aria is powered by 2.2 litre direct injection common rail (DICOR) diesel engine, delivering 140 PS power and 320 Nm torque.


The Aria, which is Tata's most expensive model, is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Tata Nano and combines the features of a luxury sedan with those of an SUV.
