Tata Motors at
the ongoing Auto Expo has finally showcased their new “sporty” compact sedan
codenamed as Kite 5, their second product with new Impact Design
philosophy. Essentially the sub 4 metre compact sedan version of the Zica hatch
(name change pending), Kite 5 will target the younger and fast generation.
Powering Kite 5
will be the same engine family as that of the hatch which will include –
- 1.2 litre Revotron
three cylinder petrol engine producing 85 PS of power at 6,000 rpm
and 114 Nm of peak torque at 3,500 rpm.
- 1.05 litre Revotron diesel mill. Tata has not confirmed the output of this mill but we expect it to be similar to the Zica (70 PS of maximum power and 140 Nm of peak torque).
Both the engines
will get Multi Drive driving modes – Eco and City.
Kite 5 sedan measures 3,995 mm in
length, 1,647 mm in width and 1,535 mm in terms of overall height while the
wheelbase has been extended by 50 mm from the hatch to now grow to 2,450 mm.
The car gets an infotainment system with a 5 inch touchscreen with support for
video playback through USB. The setup is supported by a set of 8 speakers.
Assisting the car is MapMyIndia’s
intelligently designed maps for Navigation. Tata has also brought in a first in
segment music application called Juke app which will be available only in
Android. The Juke Car App helps sync multiple phones to a host phone making
sharing of music easy via a private hotspot network.
