Unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo, the Tata Kite 5 is based on the company's latest designed platform, which is also underpinning the Tiago hatchback. Another compact sedan had also been displayed there under the nameplate of Volkswagen Ameo. While the Ameo has already been launched in the market and received an overwhelming response from the buyers, the Kite 5 is still standing in queue and the fact is, no clue is there about its arrival in the market.
Scrutinizing the fresh reports, the automaker has now made up its mind to introduce this unit sometime in 2017, which was earlier rumored to take place during the festive season. Whatever the reason exists behind this, it will certainly break the hearts who wish to buy this one.
As we informed you earlier that this sub 4-meter sedan is going to be offered with both petrol and diesel engine options. The specification of the petrol engine includes a 1.2-litre three cylinder unit, which will lead the car with a huge power of 83.8 bhp at 6000 rpm complemented with 114 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. On the other hand, the diesel motor gets a 1.05-litre turbocharged engine to propel the car with a power of 69 bhp and 140 Nm. Available with two drive modes - Eco and City, both the trims will be packed with a 5-speed manual transmission as a standard fitment.
