TATA Pixel

"As with the Nano, the Pixel is an ultra-compact four-seater, with the powertrain mounted in the rear, and driving the rear wheels. For the Pixel Tata has debuted a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbodiesel.


The headline efficiency figures are 89g/km CO2, and fuel economy of 3.4L/100 on the European combined cycle.


One engineering highlight is the 'Zero-turn' transmission, featuring a toroidal traction drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) created by Torotrak. That's a very complicated way of saying it can execute an extremely tight turning circle of 2.8 metres, using the drive wheels rotating in opposite directions to twist the car around.


Inside, the Tata Pixel boasts the first application of the new 'My Tata Connect' infotainment system, offering the expected synchronisation with smartphones and operation by a central touch screen."
