Tata Motors to display Pixel concept, drops Nano diesel out of equation

There are a couple of interesting news from Tata Motors, while one could be a good news, the other is going to disappoint many.  Let us begin with the favourable one, the leading Indian car manufacturer Tata Motors will display a new Pixel concept car at the 2012 Indian Auto Expo.  Tata Pixel is a small compact car more like Tata Nano in an electrifying outfit. From the images, it is clearly evident that the compact car offers a seating arrangement for four, but will come with a single wing-shaped door which opens upward on either side. This compact car will be propelled by a 1.2 L three pot diesel engine mated to a CVT automatic gearbox.

Some high fuel efficiency figures can be expected where the auto major claims to have 35 kmpl on the board along with being extremely frugal on emissions. As low as 89 gm/km emissions are expected from this high performing diesel engine. Coming to whether the pixel concept is intended for an India launch, that is still far-fetched for the moment at it is going to be a while before the car will go into the production. Furthermore, by the looks of it, the car is more meant for the international markets than for the Indian market with its sumpreme good looks matched with some hi-tech gadgetry.

However, the downside is the most anticipated Tata Nano diesel is not likely to make it to the 2012 Auto Expo. The diesel variant was hotly anticipated for once again the promising mileage of 32-35 kmpl. Probably, the diesel variant launch is postponed for some later time until then we can brood over the Pixel concept which is nothing short of an eye candy. However, it makes more sense to store the Tata Nano diesel for sometime later to give enough time for the 2012 Tata Nano launched recently to to bask in glory and enjoy its own share of success, at least for the efforts the auto major has put in to incorporate the missing aspects.
