The Nano Europa may have been the star of Tata’s stand at Geneva, but the company has a few more models lined up for its European launch. Pr1ma is a design study, that is likely to find its way to European markets along with the Nano. The saloon is based on the Tata Indigo, and as expected, Pininfarina’s styling touches and design make it look a lot better than the Indigo.
While it’s just a Design Study, the Pr1ma may lead the way to a facelifted version of the Indigo in India, and a new saloon for Europe. Another car from the Tata stable to reach Europe will be the Indica Vista hatchback, along with its electric version. This would actually be the return of the Indica to Europe, as Tata had previously sold the car there, but later pulled it out of the market. Unlike earlier though, Tata will not use the Rover badge for the Indica. Tata’s acquisition of Land Rover and Jaguar, put together with its coziness with Fiat could actually see the automaker turning up a successful run in Europe this time around. Tata says these models will come wearing the Tata badge, and the Rover brand will not be used, especially for the Indica that was earlier sold under that badge.
