Tata Motors unveils Tata Elegante at Geneva

Tata Motors today unveiled the Tata Elegante concept, a sedan based on an all-new platform at the Geneva Auto Show.

The Tata Elegante, larger than the current Indigo sedan, is conceptualised to incorporate 4 cylinder transverse petrol and diesel engines from 1.4 litres through to 2 litres and a compact V6 petrol power unit.

Common rail direct injection (CRDi) turbo diesel engines with variable valve timing and capabilities to comply with Euro V emissions norms will also be made available. Power varies from 90 to 200 PS with torque of upto 280 Nm. Transmission options include 6 speed manual and automatic gearboxes.

The Tata Elegante's features include satellite navigation system, cruise control, integrated blue tooth compatibility, heated mirrors, rain sensor, front and rear parking sensors, and many other contemporary features.

Ratan Tata, chairman, Tata Group, said: "This is the 10th year of our participation in the Geneva Auto Show, since 1998 when we unveiled the Tata Indica. Several of the design cues of the Tata Elegante are incorporated in the forthcoming generation of Indica and Indigo cars."
