Tata Megapixel : Features, Design, Technology, Average, Top Speed & Expected pricing
Tata Motors has now unveiled a four-door version of the Pixel (which was a two-door) - this one, rather obviously called the Megapixel.
The Tata Megapixel comes powered by four electric motors, each of which is hub-mounted, thus transmitting power to the wheels.
These motors are powered by a 13 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery pack that allows the Megapixel to travel for 87 km on a full charge.
When the car is 'fast-charged' for just 30 minutes, it still manages to reach 80 per cent of charging capacity.
The batteries can be recharged by an induction plate at the bottom of the car.
When charge runs out, an auxiliary engine comes to the rescue.
This is a 325cc single cylinder petrol engine that makes 30 bhp.
The Megapixel is capable of a top-speed of 110 kph.
Its dimensions are akin to cars like the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R and the Hyundai i10
The Megapixel's CO2 rating of 22g per km is one of the lowest for a car.
The four floating seats of the Megapixel can be accessed through the four sliding doors.
The front doors slide out to the front of the car, while the rear doors slide to the rear..
Tata has stated that the Megapixel follows the India Global design philosophy, that also indicates the future design direction Tata Motors products could take.
Prakash M Telang, managing director - India operations, Tata Motors said recently 'The Tata Megapixel, developed by our design centres in India, the UK and Italy, is our idea of a city car for discerning motorists in any megacity of the world.'
Expected Price : Rs 4,00,000 - Rs 4,50,000
