Tata Motors may launch CNG Nano, 2 more cars on June 19

Tata Motors has sent out media invite for a day long media event at its Pune facility. While it is not new for a manufacturer to invite media for a plant tour/visit, Tata could be taking the same opportunity to launch not one, not two, but three cars, if media reports are to go by.

All the three launches will be cosmetic revisions to the existing models.

First launch from Tata could be the facelifted (or updated) Tata Sumo Gold. The Sumo Gold was launched way back in November of 2011 and has not seen an update since.

While we haven't come across any spyshots that could suggest a facelift, Tata could update the car with interior revisions.

The updated Sumo Gold is expected to sport design tweaks to its interior, maybe to the tune of changing the seat fabric/door trim.

It may add a few features such as an updated stereo system, Bluetooth connectivity or even an updated driver information system display.

The details are very sketchy and we're speculating at this point.

We have a good idea about the second launch from team Tata, which should be the Tata Indigo eCS facelift.

Tata wouldn't be delaying the launch of the updated eCS any further as the compact sedan segment is witnessing the entry of new players like the Honda Amaze and the Mahindra Verito Vibe. Competition is pretty tight as it is.

From what we've seen through spy images, the refreshed eCS has an updated front fascia which sports a new 'smoked' lens headlight.

That apart, the front grill has been altered to a new honeycomb design and there are plenty of chrome inserts. Foglamp enclosures are also tipped with chrome.

Tata is expected to offer a new alloy wheel design and a new exterior color called Urban Bronze.

The Urban Bronze color, or a derivative, is being added after a lot of positive feedback it has managed in the Safari Storme.

According to sources, the interior of the car will feature some revisions, one of them being a different color scheme (black plus beige).

The next and by far the most important launch could be the 2013 Tata Nano. The 2013 version sports some added features over the 2012 edition in the form of a new chrome strip at the front and rear, a newly designer rear bumper and a new blue body colour.

Sales of the Nano have seen a decline once again and Tata would want to get into damage control mode as soon as possible. When the 2012 Tata Nano was introduced, there was a significant increase in demand for the little car. Tata may want that magic to work once again.

Helping them gather a renewed interest in the car should be the job of the CNG version of the Nano, which has also been expected for sometime now.

With petrol prices predicted to rise once again, the CNG Nano could be another source of sales in cities where it is available.

Tata is expected to launch the CNG version of the Nano simultaneously with the 2013 model year Nano.
