Tata Pelican

The Tata Pelican is an upcoming car that resembles the brand’s smallest well-sold line-up – the Nano. The powertrain of this vehicle is expected to be better than that of the Nano but not the cabin space. It shall be a compact car with cutting-edge technology leading to a pleasurable city driving experience.

Let’s delve into the anticipated features and specifications of the Pelican.

Tata Pelican Engine and Other Specifications

This Tata car was expected to come with a 1.0-litre petrol engine and an 800cc diesel engine options.  Later Tata shelved its 800cc diesel engine plan and could instead use the 1.05-litre diesel motor from the Tiago. The Tiago’s three-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine could be downsized to 1.0 litre for the Pelican petrol. Either of the engines shall be able to deliver notable power and torque for being tested in the well-selling Tiago. The transmission system should be manual with a five-gear setup. The specifications should be geared towards not only performance but also fuel efficiency, making it a well-rounded choice.

The Tata Pelican is likely to get an advanced suspension system, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. It should boast an independent McPherson front strut and a semi-trailing arm with coil spring in the rear. The size of the wheels is expected to be nearly 12/13-inch, similar to that of the Nano. On the braking front, it shall incorporate disc brakes, at least in the front, to provide precise stopping power. An advanced, responsive, and reliable braking is a must, to add an extra layer of confidence to the driving experience. The suspension and braking systems shall work seamlessly to offer exceptional handling and maneuverability, making every drive a pleasure. Moreover, it shall offer a blend of performance, comfort, and technology, enhancing every moment on the road.

Tata Pelican Exterior

At this point, little is known about its styling as the concept model looked pretty futuristic. But considering its segment, the Pelican shall be built cost-effectively and hence won’t be a showstopper like the concept. But then again, Tata is known to make good-looking cars most of the time but competition is stiff here. The 800cc cars are pushing the boundaries for entry-level cars in terms of space, styling, and equipment. Therefore, Tata’s Pelican needs to offer a fair bit to attract customers from successful rivals such as the Renault Kwid.

Tata Pelican Interior

The cabin of this upcoming Tata car might not be very spacious but it should come with enough comfort features. It shall include a manual air conditioning system, extra-cushioned seat designs, and armrests with cup holders. Furthermore, it is sure to boast an advanced infotainment system, so drivers can seamlessly integrate their devices. It would ensure that entertainment and connectivity are always at their fingertips. Moreover, it might include contemporary features such as ambient lighting, a wireless mobile charger, and a front seat adjustability attribute.

Tata Pelican Safety Features

Safety is non-negotiable, and the Pelican might be equipped with an array of advanced safety technologies. Besides, essential features like an antilock braking system with an electronic brake-force distribution system and brake assist must be included. It shall also incorporate a number of airbags, seatbelts with warning signals, and child seat anchorage, prioritizing the occupants’ well-being.

Tata Pelican Launch Date and Expected Price

The manufacturer is expected to launch this compact hatchback in the second half of the calendar year 2024. Further, the Tata Pelican price is anticipated to be nearly 4-5 Lakhs, competing with the Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, and Maruti Suzuki Alto K10.
