Tata Venture Interiors And Comfort.
The Tata cars are well-known to offer extremely high levels of comfort and airy cabin; and the Venture is no different. Handsome height of 1858mm leads not only leads to the ease of ingress and egress but also comfort for tall occupants. The head room is ample which means even if a speed breaker is missed by the driver, you won’t be having the trouble to manage your hair which in the other case gets disturbed due to lowly placed roof. However the odd thing about Venture is the only outlet for the rear passengers is the left side slider door. Yes, you guessed it right; Venture has no doors on the right side for the rear passengers. This certainly is below par. For those who are not aware, the similar concept is used on the Ace magic too, and for a family van, this is certainly not worth appreciation.
The driver seat is too high and gives a typical van feeling. Finding the best driving position takes time. Additionally the residency of pedals isn’t good at all. While depressing the clutch, our foot often got brushed with the lining above the pedals. Unlike other vans in the segment, Venture assures better comfort levels for its passengers. All the rows get integrated headrests which are well cushioned. However the seats look a bit malnutrition’ed due to the lack of thick cushioning. They lack under thigh support which may lead to uncomfortable rides on long stretches. Nevertheless, the set up is still the best in class. The middle row enjoys enormous legroom which is a bit lesser in the third row and least for the first row, i.e. the driver and co-driver. Last row can be folded to make space for luggage.
The dash board of the Venture looks like that of a regular hatch back or a sedan. The low placed dash has been wrapped in beige which looks good. The quality of plastics is typical Tata. They have been well in integrated but still there are a few bits around the centre console which do not look promising to last long. The centre console has twin ac vents and their design is similar to the one seen in the Manza. The ac controls are rotary and sit on a graphite console. The controls are easy to reach and their small size looks pretty. The Air conditioning is very effective and the cooling is quick due to the presence of roof vents for all the rear rows. For the ease of storage, Venture has twin glove boxes onboard. So keeping the things isn’t an issue in Venture. The gear stick is a straight borrow from Manza. Ahead of the gear stick are the power window controls. The head light adjustment control too resides here. At centre of the dash, sits the so called MID. In the name of information it displays the date, day, current time and the temperature. The instrument cluster is very basic and has a black background. The top end variants is equipped with the tacho meter which is highly useful for those who have a habit of driving according to the rpms. It also houses a service remainder lamp which glows when the car is due for its service.
