Tata Motors has just put out a teaser for a brand new car that will be shown at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The car in question will be a sedan based on the Advanced Modular Platform (AMP), which it will share with the 45X premium hatchback.
Just earlier this month, Tata Motors had introduced the Tata H5X and Tata H45X concepts at Auto Expo 2018 in India. Now, it looks like the third model created using the IMPACT Design 2.0 design language is on its way. The teaser of the concept that will premiere at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show gives only a glimpse of the vehicle’s slim headlamps, Tri-Arrow pattern on the front bumper and the sculpting on the bonnet. Also, it looks like the concept is painted in a shade of blue.
Tata Motors is yet to release any details of its line-up for the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The company is highly likely to showcase all its latest concepts designed using the IMPACT Design 2.0 language to gauge interest from customers in the export markets and showcase its advancing prowess in designing global cars and SUVs. The Tamo Racemo± EV is also expected to make its European debut at the Swiss show.
Like the 45X, the new sedan concept will use Tata Motors’ new Impact 2.0 design philosophy. However, the launch timeframe and other details of the car have not been revealed it. For now, it appears that the car will challenge the Honda City and Maruti Ciaz, and will be positioned in the C-Segment sedan category when launched in India.
This is not the first time that news about Tata building a Honda City challenger has come into the open. A few months ago, plans for such a car were revealed. If the 45X premium hatchback’s aggressive design and futuristic interiors are anything to go by, expect the new sedan to be equally ravishing and cutting edge. Since Tata is yet to start testing a new sedan on Indian roads – at least publicly – we expect the new car to come to India after the 45X’s launch. This means a launch time frame of 2020 or beyond.
Tata Motors will unveil the concept seen in the teaser image during its press conference scheduled to take place on 6 March 2018. Engines and other details of the new sedan concept should be revealed at that time only. Stay tuned for more updates in future.
