After seeing its Zest having a successful innings in India since its launch, the Tata Bolt launch will happen in quick succession.
Tata Motors will launch its highly anticipated Bolt on January 20, sources confirm. The bookings for the car have already started.
Made on the same platform as the India Vista, the Tata Bolt does look like its predecessor. But having said that, it also has some exclusive features like projector headlamps, floating roof effect at the rear and hi-res touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. Then there is always the first-in-class turbopetrol engine.
This second launch under the HorizonNext technology umbrella, Bolt will have the revised interiors and features. The design of the car has been made to look futuristic as the brand is trying hard to be a ‘desirable’ brand in the minds of Indian customers.
The 1.2-litre Revotron turbocharged petrol engine makes 89bhp of maximum power and 140Nm of optimum torque. The another variant is a 1.3-litre diesel unit that takes its engine from Fiat and delivers 74bhp of maximum power. Also for the first time this segment will have a car that will have MULTI DRIVE providing three driving modes – Sport, City and Eco. Keeping in mind the pricing and the quality that Tata has managed to improve over the years, we have no doubt that the Bolt would be a hit in the Indian market.
Exactly one week ago, we had written that Tata had started taking online orders for its Bolt at a price of Rs. 11,000.Unlike Zest, the Bolt won’t have an automatic transmission, not even as an option.
