Tata Bolt Leads at the Indian Rally Championship as its ZERO CAR

Apart from the event sticker and the numbering there was nothing new and special about this particular Tata Bolt. The car came with the same smoker projector headlamps coupled with Tata’s ne honeycomb pattern grille and sporty front bumper housing the wide air dam and round fog lamps.  The blacked out C-pillar arms give the Bolt a reverse floating roof look and it comes more petite, clean and very European style tail lamp cluster. The Tata Bolt is based on the X1 platform and shares lots of design aspects with Zest.

Talking more about the car’s features, Bolt has one of the largest cabins in the class and even the trims are more refined and attractive.  Be it the front or the rear seats, the Bolt offers you enough legroom space so there is no question of discomfort during long drives. Tata Bolt gets an all-new dashboard similar to that offered in the Zest but misses the dual tone hues that you get in the Zest. The dashboard in more informative and equipped than Tata’s previous hatchbacks, in fact the top-of-the-line variant will have a Harman-sourced central touchscreen, voice commands and new SMS readout capability.

Under the hood the Bolt is powered by an 1193cc 1.2-litre Revotron turbo-charged petrol engine and 1.3-litre Quadrajet diesel motor. While the petrol mill produces 90PS of power and 140Nm of torque, the diesel engine will be churning 75PS of power and 190Nm torque.
