New Tata compact SUV to look like a mini Evoque
The compact SUV will also see the debut of Tata Motor's all-new 1.5-litre diesel engine.
Tata Motors may have a reputation of making cars that are more functional than stylish, but the carmaker is aware that it needs to do more on the design front to appeal to buyers. Tata’s upcoming compact SUV, codenamed X104, will be styled to look “like a mini Evoque” say sources in the company. In fact, the sharply tapering roofline has resulted in the manufacturer even sacrificing a bit of rear seat space in the interest of giving it a sleek look.Mechanically, the X104 will also see the debut of Tata’s all-new 1.5-litre diesel motor that develops a good 110bhp, and a new six-speed manual gearbox designed to handle the extra power and torque. Sources say that despite the engine’s power advantage over rivals such as the EcoSport, the motor will not sacrifice fuel economy. There will be a petrol version as well powered by Tata’s in-house developed, 1.2-litre motor. This all-aluminum, three-cylinder engine is expected to produce around 75bhp and has been designed to be quiet and refined.

Err... this is the nothing else than NEXON, and a separate thread is already running for this car. We all know that it'll be based on Vista's X1 platform, and will have 1.2 petrol and 1.5 lt diesel engines. As far as styling goes, well looking like mini Evoque is no bad thing, IMO.

Nope this is not the Nexon. It was specifically mentioned on this being a different CUV in the AC telecast.

Don't think they are developing two Ecosport rivals? The "Nexon" concept which they unveiled last expo was said to be based on X1 platform(same as this X104 SUV). As per Tata Nexon would get 1.2 3 cyl;inder petrol and 1.5 lt desel(same as X104 SUV). So, I think this SUV i.e., X104 is nothing else but nexon CONCEPT. Anyway, if they are developing two Ecosport rivals, then no one is more happy than myself, but just doubt that X104 and Nexon are two different entities(when all cues point towards both of them to be the very same).

comming back to 1.5L diesel engine we can safely expect this motor is based on 1.6L multijet motor that currectly fiat india developing
