Safety
features for
low cost and medium cost cars comprise of Central Locking, Centre High
Mount Stop Lamp, Door Lock on Driver Side, Booster-assisted Brakes, Front
& Rear Seat Belts, Additional Body Reinforcements, Radial Tubeless
Tyres. The high end cars, on the other hand, have unique features like ABS
with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), Airbags - Driver and Passenger,
Front Passenger Airbag Deactivation, Remote Central Locking, Anti-Theft
Device-Immobilizer, Ignition-Cum-Steering Lock, Child Safety Lock on Rear Doors,
Collapsible Steering Column and Side Impact Protection Beams On Front &
Rear Doors.
Jaguar
cars have
all the luxury elements like unconventional sunroofs, xenon head lamps,
ultrasonic detectors for reverse as well as forward object detection,
chrome vents for engine heat release, eye catching alloy wheels.
Overall
observation is that JLR uses superior quality materials and higher
performance engines when compared to TATA Motors and thus have a better
appeal and driving comfort factor.
Design
features of
Tata Motors are not very popular. The cars are known to rust faster in
extreme weather conditions and scratch easily due to poor quality paints.
The ergonomic quality, on the other hand, is excellent with sufficient leg
space and seating space that makes it a perfect car for people of all ages.
The low end models like Nano, Inidica, Indigo, Sumo etc are not really a
visual delight because the body and colours are simple and common. The high
end models like the Aria, Stormme, on the other hand, have futuristic and
robust models with brilliant colours that give an elite look.
If the design values of the TATA cars are
compared to the Jaguar and Land Rover cars it can be seen that the TATA
cars have a very sharp and bulky line value. It is more similar to the line
values of Land Rover than that of Jaguar. The Land Rover looks bulky
because of its boxy line value. Jaguar on the other hand has more prominent
curves and looks faster. The size of the cars while being the same a jaguar
looks smaller compared to the bulky took of a TATA car, for instance a
Jaguar XJ and a TATA Manza are both sedan type cars. Being from the same
type the two car designs give a very different feel. The TATA car has very
sharp features and does not look very sleek as opposed to the XJ, which is,
while a big looking car, looks relatively sleeker due to its curves and
also gives a very luxury car look because of its sleek design. The TATA
Sumo when compared to a Range Rover can be seen as a very basic looking
utility car, which is convenient to carry heavy products and
transportation. The Range Rover on the other hand looks like a luxury
off-roading vehicle as it should. The design values of all of the above
brands are such that they show the market range and purpose they are targeted
at.
