Tata Pixel: A Cool City Car For Europe - Specifications And Features

Tata motors recently introduced a new city car concept named Pixel for Europe in the Tata Nano platform. Tata motors unveiled the new Tata Pixel concept at the Geneva Auto Show held in March 2011.
The new Tata pixel has got many features making it a perfect city car. The main among them are:

• "Zero turn" drive which maximizes maneuverability when parking
• Most package efficient 4-seater in the world
• CO2 emissions of just 89 gm/km and combined cycle fuel economy of 3.4 litres/100km
• Innovative 'scissor' door system allows entry and exit in the tightest of spaces

The Tata Pixel, with an innovative diamond-shaped door system and 'Zero Turn' feature is the latest city car concept for Europe from Tata Motors. The Pixel, built on Nano's platform is the most package efficient four-seater in the world with just over 3 metres in length. Even with the short length, it can comfortably accommodate four adults, unlike a typical city car which is either 2-seater or can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children only.
The Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) in Tata Pixel provides it the ability to maneuver and park in the tightest of spaces. This highly efficient, cost-effective system assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards during low-speed manoeuvres, while the front wheels turn at acute angles. The resulting turning circle radius is just 2.6 metres. The glass area on the scissor doors provides excellent visibility even in the most extreme turning maneuver.
The "Scissor" doors of Pixel which rotate upwards from the front allow all four passengers to enter or exit it effortlessly, even in the tightest of spaces.

A forward sweeping roof-line, with minimal front and rear overhangs, highlights the youthful styling, while the window graphic features an interchangeable island that can be used to change the exterior appearance whenever desired.
Another significant feature of Tata Pixel is "My Tata Connect". It is the first integrated Human-Machine Interface (HMI) which enables seamless integration of the user's smartphone or tablet with the vehicle's infotainment system and also allows controlling key functions of the car. This interface with all-in-one touch screen display, allows the user to listen to his favorite songs, internet news and sport or stock updates. In addition, when docked in the instrument panel, it also allows temperature, ventilation and air-conditioning settings to be adjusted through its touch screen, as well as displaying information on the car's performance.

Tata Pixel is powered by a 1.2 litre 3-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, positioned at the rear of it. The engine has a low friction design, featuring variable coolant and oil pump and rapid warm-up technologies. With optimized aerodynamic drag, low rolling-resistance tyres, stop-start technology, and intelligent battery charging, the Tata Pixel returns European combined cycle (NEDC) fuel economy of 3.4 l/100km and CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.

2010 TATA INDIGO E CS SERIES SPECIFICATION, REVIEW, FEATURES

Tata motors is one of the leading motor vehicle manufacturer in India. Tata Indigo has played a key role in attaining this top position in Indian automobile industry. Tata's Indigo had won the appreciation from customers all over the country.

Looks like the Indigo series never ends. First car in the series was Tata Indigo, then came the Indigo CS series. The Indigo CS was better than its predecessor. The main advantage of Indigo CS was that the length was less than 4 meters so that it became the only seden that gained tax reduction for cars whose length is less than 4 meter.

The new member of the Indigo series is the Tata Indigo E CS which satisfies the Bharat 4 emission standards. The new Indigo CS E is an eco-friendly car with low price. The fuel economy of new Tata Indigo E CS is relatively higher than that of its predecessors. Here is more details about new Tata Indigo E CS.



Design

The CS is the abbreviation for 'Compact Sedan'. e stands for Eco-friendly may be. When the length of Indigo is reduced by reducing dickey space and without reducing interior space, it became Indigo CS E. Compared to other sedans in India, Indigo CS has a fair amount of interior space. Unlike the previous models, the new Indigo CS E has no similarity in appearance with Tata Indica. The grill of old Indigo was replaced with more modern and sophisticated brushed grill with aluminium finish. Body color bumper, the body color rub-rail with chromium lining and the wing mirrors with indicators makes new Tata Indigo E CS a cute car. The new Indigo CS E with off-white color has affluence which surpasses its price. In first look Indigo CS E can be termed as a well designed car.

The interior of Tata Indigo E CS has certain flaws. Tata hasn't made much changes to the dashboard and door trims from that in old Indigo. Only difference made is an elegant color change to the interiors.

The Indigo E CS has well finished fabric seats. They provide enough comfort and support to the customers. The door trim also has fabric inserts. The four power windows can be controlled using the controls in the central console. However, there are seperate controls for the passengers at the back seat.







Driving

New Indigo E CS is an evidence for Tata's skill in Engine refinement and power. The 1396cc engine which powers Indigo E CS provides it with a maximum power of 69Bhp @ 4000rpm and a maximum torque of 140Nm @ 1800-3000rpm. This engine which is almost silent provides a smooth driving experience and reasonable pickup. The turbo is switched on above 1000rpm. At 2500rpm, engine attains its maximum capacity. The clutch and gear transmission are also very smooth. The mileage of Indigo E CS is 23.03km/L

The major flaw of Tata Indigo E CS is its breaking. With a powerful 1396cc engine in it, the lack of ABS is surely a defect.



Price

Price of Diesel model of Indigo E CS is Rs. 4.92-5.15 lakhs and that of Petrol model is Rs. 4.09-4.31 lakhs.

Diesel : Rs. 4.92-5.15 lakhs

Petrol : Rs. 4.09-4.31 lakhs
