About

The Tata Bolt XT is a significant upgrade to Tatas earlier models, blending conventional design elements with modern technology. It comes with either a 1.2-liter turbocharged Revotron petrol engine or a 1.3-liter Quadrajet diesel motor, both mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The diesel variant, with 75PS and 190Nm of torque, is particularly noteworthy for its performance and fuel efficiency. The Bolt features a spacious cabin with ample rear-seat legroom, a comfortable ride quality, and a loaded feature list including projector headlamps, a touchscreen infotainment system by Harman, and automatic climate control. The car also ticks all the safety boxes with features like airbags, ABS with EBD, and corner stability control. While it may lack some modern features like LED DRLs and an automatic transmission, the Bolts overall package makes it a compelling choice in the B-segment hatchback market. Its ground clearance of 165 mm and robust build quality also make it capable of handling various road conditions with ease.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Tata Bolt XT is a robust and practical vehicle that has proven itself to be a reliable and economical choice. After extensive use, I can attest that it is a car that is easy to live with, offering a brilliant balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The 1.3-liter Quadrajet diesel engine, sourced from Fiat, is particularly impressive with its punchy mid-range thrust and frugal nature, delivering up to 24 kmpl on highways and 18.3 kmpl in more aggressive driving conditions. The cars build quality is reassuring, with no significant issues or unwanted noises even after considerable use. The Bolt also excels in terms of rear-seat space and ride quality, making it a comfortable choice for both city driving and highway cruises. While it lacks some modern features like automatic transmission and LED DRLs, it compensates with its loaded feature list, including projector headlamps and a touchscreen infotainment system. Overall, the Tata Bolt XT is a solid choice for those seeking a dependable, feature-rich, and fuel-efficient hatchback.

Price

The Tata Bolt XT is priced competitively in the Indian market, with ex-showroom prices ranging from approximately Rs. 6.58 lakh to Rs. 7.85 lakh, depending on the location and any additional features. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from around Rs. 7.5 lakh to Rs. 9 lakh. Given its robust build, spacious interior, and advanced features like automatic climate control and a touchscreen infotainment system, the Bolt offers good value for money. The absence of an automatic transmission option might be a drawback for some, but the manual transmission is smooth and efficient. Overall, the pricing of the Tata Bolt XT makes it an attractive option in the B-segment hatchback market.

Latest Updates

Monday, 11 November 2024 01:03 PM The Tata Bolt has been discontinued and is no longer in production. This decision was made as part of Tata Motors strategy to focus on newer models and technologies. The Bolt, despite its innovative features like the turbocharged Revotron petrol engine and advanced infotainment system, failed to gain significant traction in the market. I believe this move will help Tata Motors streamline their product lineup and concentrate on more competitive models.

Thursday, 28 February 2019 04:08 AM In its last days of production, Tata Motors offered significant discounts and exchange bonuses on the 2018 and 2019 models of the Tata Bolt. This was an attempt to clear out the remaining inventory and attract more buyers. The offers included substantial price cuts and additional benefits, making the Bolt a more appealing option for those looking for a value-for-money hatchback. I think these offers were a good way to give the Bolt a dignified exit from the market.

Monday, 15 August 2016 06:48 AM During its run, the Tata Bolt received several updates, including a long-term review that highlighted its performance and reliability over 8,000 kilometers. The review praised the cars engine refinement and the intuitive ConnectNext touchscreen infotainment system. However, it also noted some areas for improvement, such as the cars exterior design and overall market appeal. I think these reviews helped potential buyers make informed decisions about the Bolt.

Friday, 27 February 2015 10:56 AM The Tata Bolt Sport concept was showcased at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show, generating significant interest among car enthusiasts. This concept highlighted Tatas ability to create sporty and stylish variants of their models. Although the Sport concept did not make it to production, it showed Tatas willingness to experiment and innovate. I believe this concept was an exciting glimpse into what Tata could achieve in the future.

Tuesday, 20 January 2015 11:34 AM The Tata Bolt was launched in January 2015 and was positioned in the B-segment, competing with cars like the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai Grand i10. It came with a 1.2-litre turbocharged Revotron petrol engine and a 1.3-litre Quadrajet diesel motor, both paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Bolt was praised for its rear-seat space and ride quality, making it a comfortable choice for family use. I believe the Bolts blend of traditional and modern features was a step in the right direction for Tata Motors.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 03:39 PM The mileage of the Tata Bolt XT is one of its standout features, particularly in the diesel variant. With an ARAI-certified mileage of 22.95 kmpl, it is one of the most fuel-efficient options in its segment. In real-world conditions, I have observed mileage figures ranging from 18.3 kmpl to 24 kmpl, depending on driving conditions. This makes the Bolt an excellent choice for those concerned about running costs and fuel efficiency, especially for those who frequently drive long distances.
