Mumbai, January 19, 2018: Building on the Impact Design philosophy launched in 2016, Tata Motors Design proudly launches the second phase of its exciting design philosophy in the 150th anniversary year of the Tata Group. Impact Design 2.0 builds on the multi-award-winning Impact Design philosophy, under which the Tiago, Hexa, Tigor and Nexon were created and launched. These cars have received critical acclaim from customers and automotive experts.
Impact Design 2.0 is a sharper, more contemporary expression of the now recognizable Tata Motors’ Design language, which captures the attention of the viewer in the first few seconds. It is recognizable, memorable and above all stunning.
The exteriors are defined by segment leading wheel sizes which will give the car a stance like no other. The strong proportions give the cars incredible road presence. The details will further strengthen and will reflect India-Global Design inspiration. The body colours will ensure a striking appearance in every light condition.
The interior design will be clean, clutter free, and will be a blend of a great balance of design flourish and practicality. The interior cocoons the occupants in comfort, and ensure every function is within arms’ reach. The use of high quality materials will enhance the experience. The colour combinations will be premium and luxurious. The HMI screens will be segment leading. The user interface and graphics will be intuitive and clear.
The IMPACT DESIGN 2.0 Philosophy is refreshed under the 3 ‘Ex’ and 3 ‘In’
