Tata Motors has unveiled the ‘Kite 5′ concept sedan in India at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi. This is nothing but a sedan version of the Zica hatchback that was all set for a launch at the biennial event. The Kite 5 is a sub 4-metre sedan that will take on the likes of the Maruti DZire and Ford Figo Aspire. This new sub compact car will be positioned below the Zest sedan and will replace the Indigo CS in the company’s portfolio. The Kite 5 was supposed to be launched in the 1st quarter of 2016 but the consequent delay of the Zica launch will push the launch of this compact sedan by at least 3 months. It is most likely that the company will name it as the ‘Sway’.

It will be powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol and diesel engines that power the Zica and might be offered with a AMT automatic gearbox on the diesel just like the Zest. On the insides, expect the same high levels of equipment on offer as the Zica hatchback which means it will get a Harman speaker system and could also benefit from a touchscreen infotainment system. The design of the car looks very sporty due to the coupe like rear end and will definitely attract buyers.
