The Tata Estate was a station wagon car produced by Indian car manufacturer Tata Motors (then known as Tata Engineering) between 1992 and 2000.
Tata was already a major player in the heavy vehicle segment and the Estate was the company's first attempt at building a passenger car. The car was considered fairly advanced during its production time and had many features which were not common among other Indian cars available at the same price range then. The car came with power windows, power steering and a tachometer.
The Estate's exterior is based on Mercedes-Benz station wagon design made at the time of conception, in particular the T-series estate-type cars.[1]
