If Maruti can do? why not Tata Motors. India’s largest car maker plans to have as many as three models in the small car segment. This does not include Tata partner Fiat’s palio and soon to be launched Grande Punto. Tata Motors plans a new small car (code named X4) between the nano and the Indica. The new car (X4) will be positioned in the A2 segment which is currently dominated by Alto,Wagon R, Santro,i10 and spark. As this segment consitutes more than 80% of indian car market all the manufactuers wish to have more than one car in small car segment. We informed you about Nissan’s plan of having two hatchbacks in this segment. Other majors such as Honda, Toyota, Ford and GM are planning more than one small car for the Indian market. X4 – Tata new compact car will hit the market in 2010 and would come at a price bracket of Rs 2.5-3 lakh. Fiat’s involvement in the X4 project and the engine options are being worked out.
