Tata intros Elegante concept
sedan
Tata shows off Elegante sedan
concept car at Geneva Motor Show 2007;
should we get excited?
BY OUR AUTO CORRESPONDENT
Update: The pictures, as
promised! Make up your mind yourself
March 6, 2007: Nope. Don't put off
your car purchase because of this. We
have been disappointed by Tata before
at Geneva. And this time might not be
any different.

But if we are not, and Tata truly
plans to introduce the Tata Elegante,
we might get a really good vehicle.
First things first:
What has happened is that Tata
Motors has done the regular unveiling
and noise-making at Geneva Motor Show
2007, and has unveiled a car. At this
moment, it is unclear if it really is
a concept car, or a future product
that might actually hit the streets.

Here are the features we have
learnt so far:
The Tata Elegante sedan will have a
proper sedan look. It will not be
dumpy like the Tata Indigo.

The Elegante will be larger than
the tat Indigo. Will it be larger than
the Indigo XL? No clarity there. We
will have to wait till our pals return
from Geneva I guess.
The Elegante sedan concept is built so it can have 4
cylinder transverse petrol or diesel
engines, or even a nice and small V6
engine producing 20 to 200 PS power.

It will meet
all European
safety, crash-worthiness and emission
standards. The Tata Elegante's other
features are a satellite navigation system,
cruise control, integrated blue tooth
compatibility, heated mirrors, rain
sensor, and front and rear parking
sensors.
If you want to know if the car is
actually going to be launched at some
time in the future, come back
after a few hours, We would have got
hold of a few photos of the unveiling,
and some confirmation of the car's
final status by then.
Here is some breadcrumbs for those
who are disappointed: Tata has said
that some of the Elegante sedan's
design elements have made their way
into the next version of the Indigo
and the Indica. So, if you are not
happy with that, we suggest you go
ahead and buy a Honda City as revenge!
