TATA Entry New Sedan And Hatch Back Premiem ZEST and BOLT

                             TATA Entry New Sedan And Hatch Back Premiem     Cars          ZEST      and BOLT

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.





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.

                                   Ashok Leyland Enters Passenger Segment Stile



 Ashok Leyland showcases the Stile, which is a van that shares the same platform with the Nissan NV200. Both the vans will be built on the same assembly line. However, the powertrains on them are different. The Stile will be powered by a 1.5-litre engine (not the 1.5 dCi) and this engine will churn out about 130bhp of power. At present testing is going on the Stile and Ashok Leyland can reduce the power to increase the fuel efficiency.

   The Stile has a low floor that makes ingress and egress much more easier. The Stile will be available with a wide seating options as it will come with two and three rows of seating.  The Stile will also be available as a cargo as Ashok Leyland will even be sold in the commercial vehicle market. Ofcourse the power on the commercial vehicle will be lesser and the interiors basic. There is a good possibility of a CNG powered Stile in the commercial market.
