TATA Entry New Sedan And Hatch Back Premiem Cars ZEST and BOLT
In terms of engines, Tata will offer this hatchback with the 1.2-litre Revtron engine which is petrol powered and produces 84bhp/140Nm. The diesel engine on the other hand is the 1.3-litre Quadrajet diesel. Transmission options include the five-speed manual as well as an AMT which is a first for Tata especially in this segment.
We expect that Tata will price the Bolt in the range of 4.6 lakh Rupees to 6.6 lakh Rupees and it will have four petrol and three diesel variants. It will compete with the Grand i10, Maruti Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Sail and VW Polo.
TATA ZEST
Tata Motors has introduced a compact sedan for the country's
auto lovers in the form of Tata Zest. It comes with both petrol and diesel
guises. Contructed on Tata's X1 platform, the sedan pays a very little
resemblance to company's exisitng Manza sedan. Tata has worked extensively on
the interiors such as revamping dashboard and including some exquisite features
such as touch screen infotainment system with built in navigation, automatic
climatronic air conditioning, power windows with one touch function. Tata Zest
petrol variants sport 'Revotron 1.2T' motor, coupled with a F-tronic automated
manual transmission; whereas diesel variants are equipped with Fiat's 1.3-litre
Quadrajet engine.
Tata Bolt
The
Tata Bolt is the Pune based automaker’s new hatchback for the Indian market.
Based on their X1 platform which underpins the Indica Vista hatchback, the Bolt
features an all too familiar silhouette but is a whole new animal in terms of
features and overall design philosophy. It will also be offered with the Indian
automaker’s new 1.2-litre 140bhp Revtron mill as well as the all too familiar
1.3-litre Quadrajet diesel engine.
This next-generation global car from Tata
Motors showcases the new DNA of the company and boasts of newness in terms of
design (DesigNext), drivablilty (DriveNext) and connectivity (ConnectNext). The
company says that the name Bolt itself signifies speed and represents,
according to the company, a winner’s attitude. It comes with several segment
first features and employs a new design language for the interiors as well as
the exteriors.
At the front it gets an aggressive fascia,
new grille and sleek shaped headlights that stretch from the middle of the
bonnet to the grille. On the sides the window lines swoop down in curve towards
the rear hatch which now seems to be devoid of the Christmas tree lamps.
However, what rear does get are rounded edges and certain styling cues from
slightly more premium cars.
It features a white and black combination
interior setup with seemingly premium plastics as well as gauges mounted behind
the steering and a touch screen created by Harmann for the Tata Bolt and Zest
CS. However, on the lower spec variants we expect that Tata will offer beige
interiors.
