Under the hood, the petrol variant of the Tata Kite is expected to pack a three-cylinder 1.2-liter unit, while the diesel motor will be a three-cylinder, displacing 1.05-liters, reportedly. Transmission choices will include a 5-speed manual and an automated manual transmission (AMT). Certain reports have speculated that it will feature an e-clutch system, where the driver can slot into first gear without using the clutch.
