The hatchback is expected to feature a 3-cylinder, 1.05-litre diesel engine, 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a few higher displacement engine options in order to offer a wide range of trim levels. The new hatchback is said to be one of the biggest launches from Tata Motors. According to sources, the hatchback will be positioned under the Indica Vista and can be expected to replace the standard Indica hatchback, being offered at a competitive price.
Apart from the upcoming hatchback, the manufacturer is also focusing on a compact sedan and a compact SUV, which are planned to be launched within the next few years.
