As automotive landscape gets ready to welcome the new offerings, International Business Times India brings a list of cars coming out of Tata's stable.

Tata Kite 5, the compact sedan, which is also known as Tiago sedan is based on Tiago hatchback. Tata had showcased Kite 5 in its production-spec at the Auto Expo 2016 earlier in February. The compact sedan is believed to be nearing its production stage and is expected to see the light of the day during the festive season this year.

Both engines will be available with multi-drive modes — Eco and City.

Tata Tiago AMT

Buoyed by the success of Tiago hatchback in India, Tata Motors is gearing up to offer the automated manual transmission (AMT) in its new offering. Tiago AMT is likely to make its entry into the market around Diwali. The development of the AMT avatar of Tiago was confirmed recently through a spy shot that showed it being tested on Indian roads.

Tata, which has two AMT models in its line-up — the GenX Nano and Zest — is expected to offer the AMT box in Tiago petrol models. In the AMT model, the design and style will remain untouched and the only change will be the addition of the AMT box.

Tiago, Tata's first offering to be based on its Impact design language, is offered in both petrol and diesel engine options. It comes powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder Revotron petrol and a 1.0-litre three-cylinder Revotorq diesel mills. While the petrol mill churns out 83.8bhp of power at 6,000rpm and 114Nm of torque at 3,500rpm, the 1.05- diesel engine produces 69bhp of power 4,000rpm and 140Nm of torque at 1,800-3,000rpm. Both the engines come mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Tiago claims to deliver a mileage of 23.84 kmpl for petrol and 27.28 kmpl for diesel.

Tiago is also expected to get a sporty powerful avatar and a crossover in India.
