Tata Motors will launch a series of all-new cars in the country under its HORIZONEXT umbrella.  The first big product to hit market is the Bolt hatchback, which will be introduced on January 20, 2015. Adding to it, the company is also readying a new small car, Project Kite, which will be positioned below the Bolt. The Kite hatch will come as a replacement for the ageing Indica. Based on the thoroughly modified Indica platform, the small car has been spotted again and shows of its interiors. Interestingly, the same platform will also underpin a new compact sedan which will replace the Indigo eCS.

The Kite hatchback features a new dashboard which is positioned little higher compared to the one found on the Indica. It has a rectangular shaped air conditioning vents and the instrument cluster is on smaller side. It is expected that the small car will get better quality interiors.

The Tata Kite hatchback will be offered in both petrol and diesel fuel options. While the petrol unit is the naturally aspirated 1.2-litre engine, the oil burner is the 1.05-litre three-cylinder unit that is capable of producing 64bhp of power and 142Nm of top torque. A five-speed manual transmission would come as standard, while an automated manual transmission (AMT) equipped model is likely to come as an optional.  The Kite hatch will compete against the likes of Chevrolet Beat, Maruti Celerio and Hyundai i10.  It is expected to be priced under Rs. 4 lakh.
