Tata Kite hatchback spotted testing

The Tata Kite hatchback has been spotted testing wearing heavy camouflage new Pune.

The replacement to the ageing Indica, the new Tata Kite is expected to be a step above in both design and technical department. The Kite will be based on the same Indica platform, but offer a more mature ride and handling package.

Seen in the spyshot:

• Typical of Tata’s, a roundish design, but unlike the Indica
• Pull type door handles
• Tailgate mounted rear spoiler
• Number plate housing on the tailgate
• Window section looks smaller than the Indica
• 14″ steel rims

The Kite is expected to be powered by a new 1.2L petrol motor, and a new 1.05L diesel motor. An AMT gearbox is also being rumoured to be available with the Kite.

The Tata Kite will be joined with a new Kite compact-sedan too, which will result in a lot of part sharing, and hence, competitive pricing. The Kite compact-sedan will replace the Indigo.
