Tata Zica / Tata Zica

The Tata Zica is an exciting new product that is scheduled to be launched by the Indian carmaking giant. The car's contemporary design and well thought out interiors seem to tick all the right boxes, especially if it's launched at a competitive price point. The Tata Zica is the first of the Kite siblings to be revealed with the sedan version expected to follow sometime later this year. The Zica will be available with a choice of 3-cylinder petrol and diesel engine units. The 1.2-litre petrol Revotron engine, also used in the Bolt and Zest, will pump out 83bhp and 114Nm of torque whereas the 3-pot, 1.05-litre diesel unit can make 67bhp and 140Nm of torque. Although unconfirmed, the hatchback will also be launched with an AMT gearbox at a later date. The hatchback will compete with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and Hyundai i10 and should cost between 3 lakh and 4 lakh. The Tata Zica will be launched on 20 January, 2016. 

Besides the hatchback, the company will also be launching a sedan based on the hatchback. Although initially referred to by its codename, Kite, the Zica-based sedan may come bearing a completely different moniker. The car is expected to launch within the 1st half of 2016.
