The Super Ace Bigboy at the 2017 MIAS show.

The Super Ace Bigboy is the prototype passenger version of the Super Ace.[2] It was designed as part of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program in the Philippines.

The Tata Ace Zip is marketed as a micro truck in India. Priced from Rs.1.9 lakhs INR onwards, the company aims to convert three-wheeler users to four-wheelers. One of the ideas that prompted the launch of this vehicle was to develop more opportunities for self-employment in the country. Moreover, there was a need for an efficient last-mile vehicle, so Tata sought to find the gap in the market and released the Ace Zip. The 611 cc engine delivers a power of 11.3 hp at 3000 rpm and a torque of 3.16 kgf⋅m at 1600–1800 rpm. It has a permissible loading capacity of 600 kg.

The Magic meets BS-III emission norms and has been developed for use in urban, semi-urban or rural markets. It is backed by a 36,000 km/12-month warranty. The Magic range starts at Rs 2.60 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune).
