2. Tata Altroz
TataAlrtoz was introduced in Indian markets on 22nd January 2020. It is a Supermini or subcompact car manufactured by Tata motors. The car’s name is inspired form the bird called Albatross, and hence it is called Altroz.

3. TATA Tigor
The Tata Tigor evolved straight from the same project that gave birth to the Tata Tiago (internally known as Kite 5) as the four-door sedan variant with a third rear volume. Tigor, in particular, takes the role of the Tata Zest.
The Tata Tigor is a few millimeters shorter than the Zest, and the pace is only two millimeters shorter. Still, the entire length is 3.994 meters since automobiles less than 4 meters in length receive tax benefits in India. The original Zest’s flaws were a very tiny trunk with a capacity of only 370 liters and limited opening owing to the rear lighting being excessively invasive. The Tigor, on the other hand, has a 419-liter trunk and rear lights that have been reduced in size and separated into two parts (on the Zest, the headlight was in one piece). Because of hinges at the boot entrance, this huge boot is conceivable.
The different models in which Tata tigor is available in the market are; XE, XZ, XM, XZ+. Tata has also released the CNG version of Tata tigor, which is available in two different models, XZ and XZ+. In India, Tata Tiger was introduced on 22nd January 2020, and out of all, its bs6 model was made available in India. The CNG version was released 2 years later on 19th January 2022.

The European Safari differed from the Indian model in terms of extras, which were designed to fulfill the demands of European buyers. The bumpers were a different color than the rest of the bodywork. The moniker Safari was chosen to emphasize the vehicle’s alleged off-road capabilities. In truth, the automobile was also intended for usage on the road. The Safari is 4.65 meters long from bumper to bumper, but the inclusion of the outside spare wheel brings the total length to 4.81 meters.

Concept Vehicle
A concept automobile (also known as a concept vehicle, show vehicle, or prototype) is designed to demonstrate novel aesthetics and technology. They are frequently displayed at auto exhibitions to evaluate customer reaction to innovative and radical designs that may or may not be mass-produced. Harley Earl, a designer for General Motors, is widely credited with developing the automobile concept and popularizing it through its traveling Motorama displays in the 1950s.
Concept automobiles are never directly produced. In today’s world, all designs must go through several adjustments before they are finished for practicality, safety, regulatory compliance, and cost. This is accomplished by using a “production-intent” prototype instead of a concept vehicle.
