Tata Motors’ Commercial Vehicle Business Unit has
launched the Tata Ace Gold in India. The newest member of the Ace family is
essentially the original version of the mini-truck that was launched in May
2005.
The Tata Ace Gold is priced at INR 3.75 lakhs. It is
available in Arctic White exterior colour. Powering the SCV is a 702 cc
2-cylinder IDI Engine. While the company has not specified the power and torque
output, they are likely to be around 16 hp and 38 Nm respectively, as this is
the same engine that powers the existing Tata Ace.
Design wise, the front, the dashboard layout, and
the steering wheel are identical to the original Ace. The main aim of launching
the Ace Gold is to lower the entry price point of the mini-truck range. The Ace platform has spawned about 15 offerings, based on Engine type, engine
power & body configurations. These include products such as the Ace, Zip,
Mega, and Mint for SCV cargo and Magic, Mantra and Iris for passenger movement
in rural and urban areas.
