Tata Tigor (Kite-5) Compact Sedan Unveiled

[ksdr]

Re: Tata Kite 5 Compact Sedan Unveiled (Indigo eCS Replacement)

Sirji let me be bluntly true but it was only the Kite 5 which actually impressed me out of the entire display from Tata. Kite 5 looks like a proportionate and very thoughtful design.

HEXA:
Look at it and any trained eye will tell that it's an Aria somewhere hiding inside those muscular looks. The vehicle actually looks big and imposing; the road presence will be awesome for sure but the aggression of an SUV is missing. All in all it looks like a proper crossover now from the 'pure van' looks of the Aria. I was at Auto Expo exclusively to check only one car - new Innova and I really doubt if Hexa will be able to hold it's own in case it is priced near to the new Innova. Why this comparison? Well, because Hexa looks more from the the people mover segment and less of an SUV. BUT yes, whatever it it; it looks good.

NEXON:
This vehicle is stylish, panel gaps etc looked nice at least on the display vehicle and there was a Merc type screen too. Looks like a compact UV and proportions are really nice. It's just a bit too loud for my taste but yes, make it single tone colored and this vehicle may steal hearts; especially the side profile.

Thanks for keeping your word. Just the kind of report expected from you the thoughts echo mine. For Auto enthusiasts who closely follow the market Hexa may look like an ARIA but if we look from a common man it just may be alternative to the XUV 500. As you rightly said Innova is going to be its competition but I have feeling we will have at least 4 lak on road price difference between the two.
Nexon does look over the top in some ways but there should be numerous options in terms colors for the roof and the white ceramic parts at the time of launch since pratap bose the chief designer was stressing more about personalisation. My point is if people can accept KUV100 then why not Nexon. And I also feel if the same vehicle is launched abroad they may very well accept it the reason being it is no more quirky than a Citreon or a Peugeot. I hope you had a chance to look at the interiors of the Nexon?

Outstanding is the word for the design and the pic.
it looks amazing in picture but in person it's not that big and little different, still the best looking compact sedan till date.

Tata launch it soon and grab the market before someone else does.

If manza had rear set of lights like kite5 it would have been in my garage and lot of others who discarded the good product due to its looks.

Kite 5 is a real looker and am happy that the design cues also coming from prima car concept(seems like) as prima concept was also built on XO platform and rear was also on same line.

Atleast tata should consider zest design like treatment in tata manza it will be much needed option for people who need good sizable sedan with big boot at a price of VW POLO.

All manufactures are running behind sub 4 meters sedan race but they are missing a good sizable and much needed segment sub 10lacks mid size sedan.

Still most of the people waiting to buy proper looking sedan but they can't reach to pay 12 to 14lacks for sedan for them sub 10lacks sedan is needed.

Back in 90's and 2005's this segment ruled by some good looking cars like Indigo, fiesta, aveo,ikon, dzire and many more.

If any manufacturer reading this thread then my humble request that please keep an option or variant of >4 meters length sedan like plus variants

Ford figo aspire+ (>4 meters)

Tata zest+ (>4 meters)

Tata Kite 5 Compact Sedan Spied Testing Ahead Of Launch
KITE 5 is back in the news! Caught testing around Pune.
Notice the Sunburst Orange color visible through the camouflage and on the ORVM.
Also visible are the same alloys as on the Tiago, which means this car too will sport 14 inch wheels.

The Tata Kite 5 is the third compact sedan that the Indian auto maker will be introducing. The Kite 5 will be priced lesser than the Zest and more than the Indigo eCS. Tata Motors was the first to get a compact sedan with the Indigo CS and then the rest followed. The Kite 5 shares the heavily modified platform of the Indigo, which is a lot more dynamic.

They always do this: Show three names to the media and public so that they can munch on them while these names would not be even close to the actual car name. They would have already selected a name for it. Same thing happened for the Zica/Tiago. They had revealed a few names like ZOOM, RAZZLE and BUCK.

Either of the names are not so punchy. Out of the three INGRID is somewhat better but I feel the name does not gel well with this compact sedan. Rather some plush of rich name will do wonders for the product.

Does that mean they have pushed Nexon launch to 2017? Earlier the news was that Nexon will be launched by this festive season. And then what about Hexa? I believe they will launch Hexa, Nexon, new Bolt in 2017 only. Lot of launches, Tata is in top gear.
