Tata has introduced its new design language called ‘Impact’. The company has also revealed that the Zica is the first model to be based on this new language with future Tata models to also follow the same principle.

The design language as per Tata’s design head, Pratap Bose, is based on the impression formed on prospective customers within the first 20 seconds of viewing a car. Tata said that its new design language stands for ‘Immediate IMPACT at first sight. Lasting IMPACT over time’.
