The '''Tata Estate''' was a [[station wagon]] car produced by Indian car manufacturer [[Tata Motors]] (then known as Tata Engineering) between 1992 until 2000. <br />
<br />
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]]. <br />
<br />
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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indianrays.com/automobile_details.php?news=Nostalgia:%20Tata%20Estate&id=113|title=Nostalgia: Tata Estate|publisher=indianrays.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209150155/http://www.indianrays.com/automobile_details.php?news=Nostalgia:%20Tata%20Estate&id=113|archivedate=2014-02-09|accessdate=9 July 2019}}</ref><br />

==History==<br />
The Tata Estate was introduced in 1992 and production ran until 2000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cartrade.com/car-bike-news/the-reasons-behind-the-failure-of-station-wagons-in-india-119271.html|title=The reasons behind the failure of station wagons in India|work=CarTrade}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Estate was powered by a [[Peugeot]] sourced 1.9-litre diesel engine producing {{convert|68|PS|kW bhp|0|abbr=on}} at 4500 rpm and torque of {{convert|118|Nm|lb.ft|0|abbr=on}} at 2500 rpm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.auto-data.net/en/?f=showCar&car_id=1225|title=Tata - Estate - 1.9 D (68 Hp) - Technical specifications, Fuel economy (consumption)|work=auto-data.net}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/business/report/pix-auto-big-mistakes-that-crashed-tata-motors-ambitious-car-dream/20141001.htm|title=Big mistakes that crashed Tata Motors' ambitious car dream|date=1 October 2014|work=Rediff}}</ref> <br />
<br />
The Estate followed after the production of the [[Tata Sierra]] in 1991. It was initially plagued with problems due to high fuel consumption, faulty electrical systems and suspensions before they were fixed in subsequent productions.<ref name="TMP">{{cite web|url=http://www.tata.com/company/reportsinside/p3oZuZh7P6Y=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|title=tata.com : Telco inside India's most exciting co.|work=tata.com}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Specifications==<br />
The platform of the Estate was based on the [[Tata Telcoline]] pick-up truck, which saved the company around Rs. 10 crore (at that time) in development costs.<ref name="TMP"/><br />
