Mechanistically, the car is capable of generating a power of 84 bhp at 5000 rpm from its 1.2 litre Revotron turbo-charged engine. The torque output of the car is expected to be at 140 Nm at an rpm range of 1750 to 3500. Indeed, the Indian hatchback segment is set to go great guns with these two new launches from Tata in 2015.
