Tata Bolt - Engine Specifications and Features

Tata Motors is on the path of resurrection. When they launched the Horizonext strategy in June last year, the focus was to be on intense products, world-class manufacturing practices, rich customer purchase experience and consistent quality of service. The first product to come out of this strategy was the Tata Zest a few months back. The Zest has been doing good business since the launch and now Tata is launching the Bolt, the hatchback version to keep up the momentum. The launch will happen soon and here we take a look at the engine specifications and the features of the new Bolt.
