Take an inside look at Tata Motors next launch, 'Zica'

Tata Motors has released images of its ‘Zica’ which is expected to be launched in the first week of January 2016 to take on its rivals like Hyundai i10, Maruti Celerio and the Chevrolet Beat. It derives its name from the ‘Zippy Car’.

Interior images of the Zica have revealed Tata's now-traditional, short-diameter, three-spoke steering wheel, integrated music controls, a 2-DIN music system, chrome door handles, front and rear power windows, dual front airbags, ABS, EBD, alloy wheels, rear parking sensors and a rear wiper and washer.

Power for the Zica is expected to come from an all-new three-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine, and a three-cylinder 1.05-litre diesel engine which is basically a scaled-down unit of Tata's 1.4-litre four-cylinder unit. The engines are expected to be paired with manual and automated manual transmissions.

Based on an extensively modified version of the Indica's platform, the Zica will be positioned below the Bolt, and will replace the Indica in the private passenger vehicles market.
