►Engine


Bolt is installed with 1.2 litre Revotron motor,75PS , with 4 cylinders. There would be another version of Bolt which is a diesel variant with 1.3 litre Quadrajet engine.
The engine is turbocharged similar to the Tata Zest which was launched earlier by Tata Motors.
If you are taking your family of four with some load in the car, we can say that you would feel smooth and really comfortable with the power delivered by the engine.

Bolt offers three modes which we will discuss further. It has 5-speed transmission which provides good riding experience.

►Inside

The interior offered by Tata is pretty much decent and the space management done by Tata is good.
You can sit comfortably without any issues and rest down on the seat and complete your journey with a smooth ride . It has been guessed that it has more space in the hatchback segment compared to its competitors.

►Safety

Safety is of prime importance for any vehicle and Tata Motors' engineers took that into account for you. 9th Generation ABS(Antilock Breaking System ) is used in this hatchback and dual airbags are installed for safety. Even corner stability control is provided.

►Modes

Tata Bolt provides three modes viz. Sport, Economy and Normal(city). Choose any mode and enjoy the ride as the mode you select helps ECU (Engine Control Unit) to adjust automatically to optimal engine performance.
Sports mode can be used on expressways or safer highways where you would get more opportunity to drive freely without more traffic.
Economy mode will reduce throttle (accelerator) response and will help you ride with less acceleration and smoothly. Economy mode will also help you out with low usage of fuel by up-shifting method.
Normal Mode is the default mode which you will be offered by company.

►Other Important Features :

The Bolt will house tremendous power of 88.7 bhp at 5000 rpm and believe us, that is enough for you to thrill upon your daily ride to your desired location ;)
