Following the news about Tata Motors developing a new car, code-named Kite, a new report about upcoming cars has emerged which talks about the automaker working on a premium hatchback, an MPV and a compact SUV.

Also, according to the same report, the ‘Kite', which was earlier thought to fit in between the Nano and Indica, will be a replacement to the Indica.

Now for the premium hatchback. This new product would be based on a new platform that will give rise to future sedans. The premium hatchback would be placed above the Bolt and would be in the same category as the Honda Jazz, Volkswagen Polo and Hyundai i20.
