Making its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, the Tata Megapixel showcases the Indian automaker's vision of what a modern city car could look like in the not-so-distant future. Evolving the three-door Pixel concept revealed at last year's event, Tata says it now has a base for a production model that would target Europe and other western markets. Measuring in at 3,504mm long, 1,673mm wide, and 1,405mm tall, it is a tad smaller than the new Fiat Panda.

The Megapixel comes equipped with double sliding doors on both sides for ease of access, which is further enhanced by the removal of a B-pillar. Seating four, the range-extended electric vehicle, or REEV, combines four in-wheel electric motors that each deliver 13hp and which are fed by a lithium-ion phosphate battery. An onboard 0.3-liter single-cylinder gasoline engine act as a generator for recharging when on the move, and Tata claim the Megapixel offers a driving range of up to 560 miles on a single tank of fuel.

Speaking at the Megapixel's presentation at Geneva, Tata's MD Prakash M. Telang said: "The Tata Megapixel, developed by our design centres in India, the UK and Italy, is our idea of a city car for discerning motorists in any megacity of the world. It is a result of the progress we have made on the Tata Pixel, displayed last year, and also denotes the company's future design direction."
