At the time of unveiling of Megapixel, Tata Motors Managing Director (India Operations) P M Telang said “Tata Megapixel, developed by our design centers in India, the U.K. and Italy, is our idea of a city car for discerning motorists in any megacity of the world.” With its innovative technology and design, Tata Megapixel takes ‘Zero Turn’, would offer around 900 KM drive with a single tank of fuel & CO2 emission of just 22 Gm/KM. The vehicle will have four independent electric motors, one at each wheel. At the time of parking, the electric hub motors drive the wheels in opposite directions, while the front wheels are turned at an acute angle, enabling an exceptional 2.8 Meter turning radius. The vehicle will also have ‘Charging at home’ facility; the charging begins with the car being parked over the induction pad. A double sliding door system and the car's B-pillar less design make entry/exit trouble-free, besides enhancing visibility. The vehicle accommodates four adults with luggage.
