Tata Motors Ltd does not build many cars like the Tata Bolt: a 5-door hatchback with 1.2 , built from 2014 to 2019 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
The background
The Tata Bolt is a hatchback produced by Tata Motors. The car was revealed at Indian Auto Expo 2014 along with its sedan version, the Tata Zest and went on sale in January 2015. The new car is based on the existing Tata X1 platform on which Vista and Manza are built.
The hatchback is made available in both the fuel trims with 4 variants in petrol and diesel. Despite having better safety, features, more premium interiors and stronger engines, it didn't sell well compared to its rivals. Production of the Bolt ended in April 2019 and was replaced by Tata Tiago and Tata Altroz.
The engineering
Under the skin sits 1.2 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual. The wheelbase is 2470 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Tata Motors Ltd's history is not in doubt: the Tata Indica Vista came before it; the Tata Tiago / Tata Altroz followed it; it was built at Ranjangaon, Pune, India. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ford Escort, the Infiniti Q50. Its Tata Motors Ltd stablemates include the TaMo Racemo and the Tata 407.
