Tata Altroz (X451) Premium Hatchback Launched

[vikyjoshi]

Hornbill/ Pelican/ Nano's elder sibling are they the same?

AFAIK, Hornbill was a CSUV, and pelican I believe would be Nano replacement. The shape of the car in question definitely does not look like cSUV in any way. So the one we see should be the pelican, and can say that we have yet to see the spy shots of the Hornbill.

This is 45X. This confusion is due to the video. Look at the swift dezire passing it. It too is thin. This the regular 45X test mule.

Size Definitely smaller then X45 over all looks like grown up version of TATA NANO but Engine at front, its clearly says TATA cooking something that going to position between between NANO and TIAGO 3Lacks to 5Lacks range.

TATA Pelicon(re-engineered TATA NANO) is definitely replacement for NANO like how Vista and ARIA transformed into Bolt and HEXA and TATA already completed R&D work of pelicon project but they kept it on because they wanted to stabilize their market share with exiting new launches now they stabilized, after the launch of Harrier and X45 tata me reconsidered to launch upgraded nano.

The video is of 45x and the confusion is due to video, as it looks pretty thin in the video. Pelican project was put on hold and no work is happening there however concept cube can get a light of day as Nano replacement/successor if the need arises

Hornbill was on papers only sometime as ago as per my last info from a source, Tata will use Alfa platform for 45x then 45sedan then hornbill and Nexon replacement

Well, bit confused now as I see same video claiming to be of upcoming micro suv Tata Hornbill here -
Tata Hornbill micro SUV is smaller than Nexon - Spied on video

Guys, how can you guys be so confused? This is the video of the same 45x hatchback. Can't you recognise? The speed and angle of the car makes the pic look squished sideways. It's surprising how y'all auto enthusiasts immediately thought of it as the suv. I really am so angry on that stupid auto website guys on making and spreading such fake news.

Can happen Mr. DJ. I think getting bit confused is fine when sites like rushlane and autoportal (link) are reporting it. And no one is 'So' confused here as you are thinking, at least not me. Just had some doubt since both of these sites, which I usually follow, reported it, with both making some comparisons with H45x about roofline, gc etc. And that's why I asked here too to get other's opinions on it, whether it's genuine or misleading. Surprising that you are assuming that others are taking it as suv only, and asking like can't you recognize etc, huh!

Near production version and electric version to be shown at the Geneva motor show in March.

Take a look at the leaked instrument cluster pictures we shall get few more details.
This car will come with black or grey alloy wheels.
The real world mileage is going to be good compared to some of its competitors.

The rumoured hybrid system could be a 48v mild hybrid system which is better than usual micro hybrid systems found in other cars.
10+ % fuel efficiency and less turbo lag are the benefits of this system. We can expect an ARAI figures close to 25+. But by adding this system pricing will become difficult. I don't think it will find many buyers if priced close to baleno or i20. Ideal price would be between swift and baleno

I don't quite agree on it. Baleno doesn't feel like a premium hatchback although i20 does. Baleno already has one of the poorest build quality but this being Tata is sure to be well built. Also Tata would provide lot of features on the new launches (so that they can strip them later ) so pricing same as Baleno would not be possible since it would be far better than a Baleno. Also news of mild hybrid system if true would surely make it more expensive than Baleno. People are ready to pay for a Tata car nowadays provided they make it feature loaded. Barebones x451 with low price is not gonna help them. Looks the case of Tiago 80% sales are from top 2 variants. Lower variants though cheaper almost don't sell!
