Tata Zica Specifications and Features Revealed

Zica is powered by new engines - 1.2L naturally aspirated Revotron petrol and 1.05L Revotorq turbo diesel. Tata Motors has put a lot of thought into it because the attention to detail is terrific!

Update: Tata has showcased the entry level hatchback Zica at the 2016 Auto Expo that will take on other popular hatchbacks in the country including Chevrolet Beat, Maruti Suzuki Celerio and Hyundai i10. Audiences may not have to wait too long to get their hands on the newly launched hatchback with its release scheduled in two weeks. With company’s very own ConnectNext infotainment system, segment first 8 speaker system and alternatives for diesel and naturally aspirated motor, Tata Zica looks pretty strong to make a big impact. Check out the Auto Expo reveal, image gallery and more.

Tata Motors has released features and specifications of the upcoming Zica hatchback. The hatch is powered by all new 3-cylinder petrol and diesel engines (debuting Revotorq family of in-house developed diesel engines) and comes with a host of segment first features. Based on the Tata’s DesignNext design language, the vehicle has been designed from Tata’s design studios based out in Pune, UK and Italy. We understand that to make a mark on the segment, Tata Tiago Price (earlier known as Zica) will be priced competitive. Let us see what it has to offer.

Features and Safety

ConnectNext Infotainment System - Tata has come up with a new unit powered by Harman in their ConnectNext line-up. The system features Bluetooth connectivity, Tuner, USB, Aux-in and a large screen display. And similar to the new Safari, the system also show inputs from the rear parking sensors. Now, the interesting bit is that, like the Ford’s SYNC infotainment system, Tata’s ConnectNext offers smartphone integration with two apps presently - Navigation app and Juke app. The vehicle gets segment first - 8 speaker system - 4 speakers and 4 tweeters.

Navigation App - According to Tata, this app displays turn-by-turn navigation on the car’s infotainment system when the smartphone is connected to the unit via Bluetooth (Android only).

Juke-Car App  - This app helps to share entire list of the songs played from a connected-device/host to the rest of the connected devices through a virtual network created using mobile hotspot (just like we do in the data transferring apps eg Xender!). Wondering why it is doing all this? Because, the rest of the users/passengers can queue the tracks they want to play in a hassle free manner. This is seriously interesting! (Android Only)

Safety - The vehicle offers dual front airbags along with ABS, EBD and CSC (Corner Stability Control).

AC Vents Pallets - Zica's top end variant will come with color pallets (same as the exterior color) for the left and right AC louvers.
