Tata Motors India unleashed a new city car concept at the 81st Geneva Motor Show, it has been christened as 'Pixel'. It is expected that all-new small car based on this concept vehicle will be on sale in 2014. The concept features gull-wing doors but it is expected that the production vehicle will have simple hinged doors like we have seen most of the hatchbacks available in India. As per the press release by Tata Motors, Pixel is the most spacious four-seater in the World. It is just over three metres in length. Tata Pixel features Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission, which assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards, while the front wheels turn at acute angles. Key functions of Tata Pixel are controlled by the driver's smart phone, running ‘My Tata Connect’, the first integrated human-machine interface concept from Tata Motors. Like Tata Nano, Pixel also features a rear-mounted engine which will be a 1.2 litre three cylinder turbo-charged diesel. The engine is a low-friction design, featuring variable coolant and oil pump and rapid warm-up technologies. With optimised aerodynamic drag, low rolling-resistance tyres, stop-start technology, and intelligent battery charging, the Tata Pixel returns European combined cycle (NEDC) fuel economy of 3.4 l/100km and CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.
