Tata is expected to launch its new Kite offerings, a hatchback and a sedan, in India around festive season this year. Both the cars have been tested rigorously on Indian roads and hawk-eyed photographers have already managed to capture glimpses of Kite models. 

Under the hood, Tata Kite models are expected to pack the company's new 1.05-litre three-cylinder common-rail diesel motor, which can churn out power of 64.1bhp and 14.27kgm of torque, and the all-new 1.2-litre petrol engine. The hatchback is also rumoured to feature e-clutch system, a system similar to AMT, which allows drivers to use manual transmission for first gear without using the clutch.
