There has been a lot of hype surrounding Tata's upcoming entry-level hatchback. Codenamed Kite, late last month, Tata announced the name of its newest offering in the India Automotive space as the Zica. Less than a week after, the Sanand-based car maker released the first official images of the Zica to the press and public. And today, Tata will finally give us a closer look of the Zica in Goa.
As far as design is concerned, the Zica gets the typically Tata smiley grille up front underlined by a fine strip of chrome. On either side of it are those huge arrowhead shaped headlights. It sports a large front bumper that houses the circular fog lamps. In profile, the Zica gets a sharp shoulder line and a smooth character line to go with it. The boot is unlike any other we have seen in this segment so far. The roof spoiler with the blackened out edges looks neat, as does the tail gate with its sharp creases.
The Zica will get a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol unit that is expected to make close to 85PS and 110Nm. Unlike the Bolt and the Zest, this one will be a naturally aspirated engine. The Zica will also come with a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit that will make about 70PS and 140Nm. This engine is essentially the same one we have seen on the Indigo CS less one cylinder. Both these engines will come mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Tata Motors will launch the Zica in India in January 2016 and is expected to price it starting Rs 4 lakh. When it is launched, the Tata Zica will go against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, the Hyundai i10 and the Chevrolet Beat. The Tata Zica will be unveiled to the press later in the day today.
