Zica is scheduled to be officially launched in January.

It is expected to be priced in the range of INR 3.5 lakh to INR 5 lakh, according to the daily.

Tata Motors has developed two new 3-cylinder engines for the Zica, a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol and a 1.05-litre Revotorq diesel.

Zica will be the first car to get the company’s new diesel engine family branded as Revotorq.
