Good thought but i don't think they will spike up the power up from 70bhp. I strongly say this because if they do so then Zest will not have any takers. Remember they recently made changes to Zest trims and now only XT gets 90 bhp and the rest all are plonking the 74 bhp motor. So i feel Kite S should be having the same engine as in Tiago.

Protecting Zest volumes from one of it's own products isn't a priority for Tata Motors, I think. Zest + Bolt are generating just about 3K units monthly volumes. On the other hand Tiago + Kite5 could be generating over 10K units in monthly numbers once the products stabilise.

The lower diesel variants for Zest are probably being repositioned for the commercial segment and hence the 75 bhp change. In any case major chunk of private buyers were going for the top-end XT variant or the XTA variant. I am of the opinion that the Zest & Bolt Revotron still have immense potential, thanks to their turbo-charged 1.2L Petrol motors. They should be repositioned as sportier options mainly because none of the other competing 1.2L NA Petrol motors can match their performance.

I feel the Zest could be having different plans. May be plonking the 1.5L engine from Nexon and position it higher against the Ameo. That would leave breathing space for the Kite 5 to rival the similar engine capacity cars like Xcent.
Also there is no reason apart from this for the extensive testing still going on with the Kite 5. For a lovely looking CS, I don't think Tata would give such measly power.

Tata Kite 5 spotted camouflaged along with Nexon and Zest!

The Kite 5 and Nexon were spotted camouflaged and parked in an underground parking lot. Surprisingly, the Zest was also spotted along with them. The CS Kite 5 seems to have considerable height compared with the CUV Nexon!

The car looks brilliant from the rear. It looks like a variant of the JAGUAR from the rear. Send it to some non petrol head and he will say it should be a Jag.

Yes, there are news that the KITE 5 will be launched in July. But then when is the Hexa coming?
The Hexa was speculated to launch in June/July. Given that the Innova has been launched now, the Hexa should not be delayed.
There is no hurry for the Kite 5 as there is already Zest to fight it's rivals.
Wonder what is the actual strategy of Tata.

Hi All. This is my 1st post in wonderful forum to a wonderful post and to a fantastico sibling. This is the best looking sub 4m my eyes have ever looked. Better than the zest. Pratap Bose, take a bow for this design.

I think its good thinking to launch kite5 first than Hexa as Toyota played introductory card by pricing Crysta very aggresively. Let the Crysta steam goes down and recorection of price, after that Launch Hexa with right price and full force. And till then the Tata brand preception will also get on track with success of Kite twins.

Hexa is the flagship model for Tata as of now and they can't take any kind of risk with it so playing safe and wait for the right moment is what seems to be the strategy.

One more point in my mind as Tata need to take care of delhi diesel ban for 2L engine and no diesel cabs. So we might see sub 2L engine on Hexa first.

Back to kite5, an inside info from a source is that there is surprise on engine front.

What it could be? More power? Turbo version? God knows
