Tata's third sub-4m sedan is based on the recently-launched Tiago.

As seen in spyshots, the front end of the Kite 5 is sourced from the Tiago, while the stubby boot and wraparound taillamps are unique to the Kite 5. It measures 3,995 mm in length, 1,647 mm in width, 1,535 mm in height and 2,450 mm in wheelbase.

Inside, the design is largely identical to that of the Tiago, complete with an 8-speaker Harman audio system with turn-by-turn navigation. The Kite 5 was shown featuring a touchscreen infotainment system in top-end grades, which is not offered in its hatchback sibling. It will also offer a class-leading boot capacity of 420 liters.
