Re: Tata Kite Compact Sedan (Indigo eCS Replacement)

I felt that Upcoming TATA Kite will be much lighter kerb weight then its revivals may be power to weight ratio higher then MS Celerio because its based TATA Indica V2 TATA further modified this plaform for Kite we we all know that indica v2 IDI kerb weight is 995Kgs(Hydrolic power Steering+cast iron block 4cylinder diesel engine) but when it comes to TATA Kite Diesel comes lighter 3Cylinder Diesel engine(definitely lighter then current 4Cylinder engine) and a light Electronic power Steering system this two things bring down cars kerb weight and after comparing this specs i feel that maruti celerio diesel kerb weight is heavier because

- Maruti Celerio diesel:EPASS steering+light body+Aluminium 2cylinder diesel = 900kgs but

- TATA Indica V2 IDI:Heavy Hydrolic Power Steering+heavy tuff body+4Cylinder Cost Iron Diesel = 995Kgs

- So its Clear that TATA Cars are not much heavier when it considered with their out dated Technology
One info required: do turbo engines weight more than NA engines??

What was the weight of the indica turbo. Any idea

Re: Tata Kite Compact Sedan (Indigo eCS Replacement)

I really doubt it. Mostly it will be launched in the Auto Expo 2016.

Tata is really slow in executing things. [frustration]
Well perhaps the kwid launch must have made tata to go bit slow. Since the kwid according to the ads is competing with celerio and even i20 :stupid:

So they seem to be playing waiting game and may be come up with additional feature list to sell the kite hatch which also falls in the same price segment of kwids celerio and i10

Eventually that "bit slow" it ends up marking a presence in their portfolio! come on people aren't ready to keep waiting for one product only, when they decide to buy, they are mesmerised in selection of cars.

Top End Fully Loaded TATA kite spied with premium feel interior looks like TATA giving full crome and silver detailing

Doesn’t matter how they want to hide these beauties from the public eye, our smart lenses can rarely miss to spot them; even if they are heavily camouflaged. Following our earlier story on Tata Kite, Team Crankit managed to click a few Tata Kite spy pics from the closest distance ever before; revealing its minute details. These are few pics recently taken, when it was found parked in the by-lanes of Pune. We are publishing the latest Tata kite spy pics for our ardent followers and car enthusiasts.

About ‘Kite’:
India’s most reputed brand Tata Motors is looking to conquer the voluminous compact hatchback segment with its upcoming car the Tata Kite. Tata Motors is already conducting road tests of its latest hatch the Kite in and around Pune City, where it is currently being developed. Targeting the lucrative compact hatchback segment; Tata Motors will launch Kite to take on the likes of Maruti Celerio, Chevrolet Beat, Datsun Go and Hyundai Grand i10.

Design:
The Tata Kite spy pics reveal its all-new exteriors & interiors. Tata Kite has a typical ‘tall-boy’ design. From the front, Tata Kite spy pics clearly divulge the ‘smiling’ Tata signature honeycomb grille and two heavy crease lines on the bonnet, which will give it the muscular look.

Uniqueness:
There is also a noticeable hump in the middle of the roof, which may have been placed to give the Tata Kite some characteristic looks. From the side, you can see the camouflaged ‘B’ pillar, the windows without quarter-glass and some crease lines on the doors. The Kite test-mule also has the diamond-cut 10-spoke alloy wheels.

Features:
The cabin of the Tata Kite is seen draped in black and / or black-gray colour theme. The spotted Tata Kite mule features the Tata signature three-spoke steering wheel with audio controls, possibly borrowed from Tata Bolt. Inside the cabin, it can also be observed the unique trapezoidal shaped air-conditioner vents & an infotainment system. Also, the Tata Kite spy pics snapped here reveal a 5-speed manual transmission with ‘H’-shaped gear lever similar to Tata Bolt.

Styling:
On the rear of Tata Kite spy pics, you could see that the car features horizontally wrapped-around tail lamps unlike the flame-shaped ones on Tata Bolt. The Kite also gets the rear spoiler and the rear windshield wiper as well; which was not seen before. It indicates that the test-mule could possibly be ‘production-ready’.

Tata Kite is expected to be launched during the coming festive season of 2015 in the price-range from Rs. 3.5 lakh to Rs. 5.0 lakh.

Re: Tata Kite Compact Sedan (Indigo eCS Replacement)

Wow the competition is really heating up, Tata seem to have a winner in their hands.zest , bolt and now this slowly but steadily Tata definitely seems to be on right track I'm seeing more and more zests on road in Hyderabad. With Tata planning to open more showrooms I think there will be more sales for them and more service centers for us customers.

TATA is always late in competition.

Exactly my point, for other manufactures there is initial spike when the car is launched and then settles down. In case of Tata with marginal spike the sales dipped and then started increasing. This was observed with Zest and somewhat in bolt too. the word of mouth definitely working for tata.

Yes TATA had good market share specially in Hyderabad, TATA ZEST sales seems pretty good in hyderabad more zest's playing on hyderabad roads and good thing is that most of them are Revotron powered [clap]

Re: Tata Kite Compact Sedan (Indigo eCS Replacement)

I am already dreaming of a Kite with Lionel Messi driving it on a football field [:D] pushing the ball with the car. One more thing revotron is contributing to 50% of Zest sales, unthinkable that people will be buying a TATA petrol car in these numbers before 2014. [clap]

Re: Tata Kite Compact Sedan (Indigo eCS Replacement)

Previosly i too was wondering where are the bolts and zest. Nowadays i'm more than happy to see more number of zests and few bolts in the streets. I think the word of mouth is spreading and the image is changing slowly. Hoping it'll continue the same after the kite launch. [clap]

I can surely say that if TATA Motors continue to launch fresh models with unbelievable features first in segment in the span of four to five years they will be 3rd position after maruti and hyundai
