Tata Pixel showcased at Geneva Motor Show
March 2nd, 2011 - 1:48 am ICT by IANSChennai, March 1 (IANS) Indian automobile giant Tata Motors Tuesday showcased the Pixel - its new city car for the European market based on the its compact model Nano - at the 81st Geneva Motor Show, a statement said.
Tata Pixel is just over three metres in length and is the most package efficient four-seater in the world, the company said in its statement issued in Geneva.
It can comfortably accommodate four adults unlike a typical city car which is either a two-seater or can accommodate two adults and two children only, the statement added.
Managing director and group chief executive officer of Tata Motors Carl-Peter Forster said: “Tata Motors holds true to its belief that there is an opportunity in Europe for a city car, which is optimal in space, manoeuverability and environment-friendliness. The Tata Pixel is a reflection of Tata Motors’ idea of what such a car should be.”
The 1.2 litre three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine is placed at the rear.
The $20 billion-turnover company is also displaying the Tata Indica Vista Electric Vehicle at the show’s Green Pavillion.
The company’s displays also include the Tata Aria, the first Indian four-wheel drive crossover, the Tata Indigo Manza, among India’s best selling sedans scheduled for launch this year in select countries, and the Tata Indica Vista.
The Indica Vista has already been introduced in Poland and Italy, and is scheduled to be launched in Spain.
