NEW YORK: New images of the Tata Zica have been leaked before its global unveil. These are the first ever pictures of the car in its production form and at first glance, the new Tata product does look quite appealing. The new Tata Zica as Zigwheels.com reported earlier, should be priced just a tad bit under Rs 4 lakhs and will be available in both petrol and diesel variants. Incidentally, the word Zica comes from an amalgamation of the first two letters of the word ZIppy CAr.
The new Tata Zica, originally codenamed Kite is essentially a hatchback that will slot in between the Nano and the Bolt. At first glance, the new design is a radical departure from the aging Indica design language. The new Zica features a very prominent grille which has a set of stretched out headlamps that fuse into it. The new car also has a set of alloy wheels and a smart looking front bumper and with chrome fog lamp bezels.
The interior on this top of the line car reveals a two-tone color combination and an individually folding rear seat. Other features will include a ORVM mounted indicator, steering mounted audio and phone controls and a Bluetooth enabled infotainment system. The new Tata Zica will also get ABS, EBD and dual airbags on the top of the line variants.
On the engine front, the Zica will get two brand new engines that have been made inhouse by the Tata Motors engine works. The Zica will get a 1.2-litre petrol engine that is expected to make in the region of 85PS of peak power and about 110Nm of peak torque. This naturally aspirated engine could be used in other future products too in parallel to the turbocharged Revotron engine.
