The Megapixel concept was launched in 2011.
A four-seater city-smart global Range Extended
Electric Vehicle (REEV) concept, the Megapixel caters
to the performance-seeking and environment-
conscious motorists.
Combining a lithium ion phosphate battery and an
on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on
the move, the Tata Megapixel offers a range of up to
900 km (with a single fuel tank), path-breaking CO
2
emission of just 22 gm/km and fuel economy of 100
km/litre (under battery-only power).
The class-leading ‘Zero Turn’ drive system enables an
exceptional 2.8 metre turning radius.

THEFUTURE
The global imperative is fuel conservation and a move towards green
energy. Tata Motors is responding to this urgency by unveiling the
Megapixel, an advancement of the Pixel concept.

The at-home charging mechanism represents a
distinct innovation. The car needs to be parked over
the induction pad for charging to begin. An advanced
human machine interface (HMI), the console docking
point can connect a smart phone with the car.
The built-in large touchscreen HMI, at the centre of the
instrument panel, becomes a common access point for
the repertoire of the smart device, and for controlling
multiple functions (temperature, ventilation, driving
modes and performance).
TheMegapixel harmonises Indian uniqueness (colours,
graphic themes or materials) with global styling
preferences. Leveraging the small-car knowhow from
Tata Nano, the Megapixel combines the richness of
tradition and innovativeness of technology.
