MANILA: With the trending implementation of enhanced safety features, Tata Philippines has not been left behind. The dynamic and incredible technology has certainly backed automakers in securing the precious life of both passengers and pedestrians. Owing to all this, it has doubtlessly made the consumers become much more aware than before. Prior to the launch of this Indigo, Tata had created a buzz with its upcoming hatchback Zica recently. With the confined information revealed, the news was just based on teaser pictures. Furthermore, it is quite interesting to note that unlike the fleet of similar hatchbacks, Tata Zica has an edge. This compact yet economical car possesses worthy safety measures: Anti-Locking Braking System (ABS), Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), Rear Parking Sensors and Dual Airbags. The Indigo possesses the ABS, SRS Bags and with an additional feature of side impact beams. The side impact beam is a modern safety measure that acts as an absorbent during a collision, that protects both the driver and passengers.

The Indigo Car is amidst the fleet of competitors, viz. Suzuki Swift Dzire and Honda Brio Amaze. In perspective of the technology implemented by the rivals, there is a bit distinction in each of them. The Suzuki has taken a step forward through its patented TECT design that promotes highly safe driving experience. Also, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that has been facilitated with brake assist control and engine drag that prevents skidding and slipping. The Dual airbags and side impact beams have also been installed. On the other hand, the Honda Brio Amaze has a G-CON technology that has been enveloped on the car's body. This technology minimizes the collision risk and prevents skidding probabilities. It consists of ELR seat belts enhancing the car's safety along with dual SRS airbags. Additionally, the car's security mechanism is comprised of electronic protection system.

It can be concluded that including such features is a good step, however it cannot be highly advantageous in the longer run. This statement can be supported by the fact that competitive fleet is providing a superior, robust, and high performance cars. In no time this model may be left behind, if it doesn't match the pace in terms of other important technological features. Changing the perception of the consumers for this car (in terms of utility) will take a long time, until something revolutionary will be introduced.
