Tata Bolt User Reviews

Exterior It seems a absolutely new hatch and attractive design. Projector Headlamps, Flame shaped Tail lamps, sturdy looks put it differently from rest.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Regarding the space and comfort I would say, it is a Best in the segment. I tried the other competitors but the space and the comfort for the passengers are not that attractive. However, when I experienced Bolt, it gives me enough comfort, leg space, head space and easily three passengers can accommodate on rear seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is responding very well as of now. Multi drive function is also gives good response while on highways. The only worry is fuel economy. I drove it for some hundreds of kilometers but I am getting mileage in between 10-12 km/liter. Gearbox is also properly machined and assembled which gives you nice feeling while driving in city.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very good. The features in the Top model is extremely amazing and new in the segment.

Final Words It is a worth for a money. You won’t regret after purchase.

Areas of improvement Finishing touch in interior fit ups.

Comfort and space, Features, safety, drive qualityFuel economy

Exterior Looks similar to Vista and that can be a deal breaker for many. However, that would be an extremely short sighted point of view. It has got a robust construction annd feels solid. Doors close with a proper thump and don't feel tinny.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best part of Bolt is the interior quality. Only the Hyundai does it better in this segment. Absolutely 0 rattles after having driven one for ~15k KMs. Harman ICE is simply mind-blowing. Bluetooth sync and steering mounted controls make life a lot easier.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine feels sluggish in the ECo mode. I usually drive in the default mode (CITY) as the sports mode is too to handle. The vehicle starts responding to the slightest touch on the pedal. Turbo pools from 1500 RPM, and hence helps in in-city driveablity.

FE:

City: varies from 10 to 14 KMPL depending on the traffic conditions. Stand-still traffic can bring the mileage down. 

Highway: Usually cruise at around 90 KMPH, and the car has delivered ~17 KMPL regularly with AC on. Round trip tp Goa fetched me a mileage of 16.9, and believe me thats stupendous considering I was stuck in a jam before Pune for 4 hours.

Ride Quality & Handling Straight line stability is simply superb, owing to the higher weight. There is body roll when carved into corners. I take it easy going into the corners with this car. Guess higher stance is the culprit. Suspension is on the stiffer side, which makes low speed ride a little bouncy. On the good side, high speed handling is superb. Cross-winds also dont make any impact. Steering is very light at parking speed and weighs up nicely as speed increases. Inspires confidence to push the car to the hilt.

Final Words Its a brilliant value for money proposition. The only thing that has held it back is Tata's bad reputation and Vista-like looks.

Areas of improvement Absolutely none. Love the vehicle.

Excellent straight line stability, Ample space, Best ICE, Overall mileage, Tough builtSluggish in ECO mode, Body roll present when thrown into corners at high speed, Low beam throw

Full Review

Exterior is Good but not the best, I can say its OK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) is beautiful in all respect, specially the back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox, all are good except the response at high rev.

Ride Quality & Handling is great with a good suspension, gr. clearence, 15" alloy wheels & cabin insulation, ABS and EBD  and low noise,vibration & hashness (NVH) levels.

Final Words Its really a value for money, since, no other company is offering so many features (practical) at this price tag eg. Multi-drive option, projector headlamps, Harman music & infotainment system, auto climate control, 15" alloy wheels, 9th. gen ABS from Boch, good ground clearence and suspension, nice cabin insulation and a premium feel once you enter the car. Moreover Tata has a good service network at present. Finally I must say that it is a nice city car with good ride and handling quality and above all it is a car made by an Indian Company.

Areas of improvement Engine performance requires to be improved at high rev.

 

space and looksfeul consumption

Exterior

 Good looking, In front, the honey comb grill and projected/ smoked head lamps are awesome.  The red lines on frame is visible only on close look. Gold or silver colour lines may bring more attraction. Spoiler and flame shaped break light is better.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Not Bad, spacious and Confortable.  Good leg space and head space. Infotainment system is good, but it is complicated for first time use.  No place for left foot rest (driver). Seats are average, but upholstery and fabrics needs to improve.  Multi-coloured dash board may be better. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Performance on City drive is OK. High fuel consumption even in ECO mode. I hope it may improve after one or two services, but no.  Pick up is good on plain roads, but need to stand on accelerator on slopes.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Smooth. Study on average roads and curves.  

Final Words

 Not good for middleclass people. 

Areas of improvement  

Provide Rear/ Front Cameras and sensors. Upholstery and fabrics. 

 

Good interior and exteriorLow low fuel economy. Max 10~11 km on ECO mode.

Exterior Great headlamps and taillamps, c pillar with floting roof is stunning, alooys are magnifico in their gun metal finish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Sporty cabin, but the finish is not too good,rough edges everywhere. Not a practical car, gearbox is slick, steering is awesome. Attaractes youngsters the most.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Feels peppy in sport mode, Sluggish at eco mode. I recommend eco only if you are above 60kmhr. Tends to halt in city or eco mode when in heavy traffic, gearbox is silent. Lower rev performance is great, I got 19.1kmpl as my highest avg yet when driven in eco at90kmhr. When driven in city I get 11-14.

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome in handling, very stable car even at 130kmph. Tires gives much grip. Very silent cabin. Bat thing is it has different sound in different mode in eco it feels like diesel car. Overall NVH level is great.

Final Words Great car for the money quotient.

Areas of improvement Fit and finish. After sales services.

harman system ,projectors, ride,turbocharged motorfuel economy is bad at city,but excells in highway

Exterior Look is one of the drawback for Bolt. tata need to concentrate much more on this topic but compared to old tata cars the exterior look is better with flame tail lamp also rear spoiler tries to give sporty look to car. Front look has been modified with new grille,new projected headlamps & curvy bonnet design. These changes gives some stunning look from front. Back & side view of car not upto the mark.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Multidrive mode is excellent feature which help you to rap up ur vehicle speed in seconds. Good cabin space & overall comfort, harman system sound quality is mindblowing also inbuilt Bluetooth, steering mounted ctrls, seat height adjustments are added advantages for this price tag. Interior plastic quality is decent. Drawback is boot space compared to figo & tiago then bottle holders are not available.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Really Tata motors need to be appreciated for this new multi drive reverton engine. Smooth engine with zero vibration, good fuel economy compared to other competitors Highway eco avg:18.2km/l, city avg:15 to 16km/l, sports mode avg:13km/l. Most powerful engine in this segment, smooth transition of gears in all speeds.IF SPORT MODE IS ON we will feel like racer while pressing the accelerator. Engine calibrated for all drive modes accurately we can feel the difference & response in seconds.

Ride Quality & Handling Overall Ride quality is good,steering system is good with handy steering wheel & response of steer to wheel good, ABS braking efficiency is bit low compared to other cars. Vehicle cornering stabilty need to improve on high speeds.

Final Words Petrol car with turbocharger foe this pricing is chanceless because new turbocharger itself cost 60-70k but tata motors added this & made it very less pricing really Value for money car with best features.

Tata motors engineers given their best in this car but unfortunately brand name & old tata car resemblance causes drop in sales. Also service quality is excellent & customer care services are better.

Areas of improvement Exterior look & brand name.

Great Engine performance, good cabin space,good interior,good suspension,multidrive modeNo cup holders!!

Its all new wonderful space best at ride and controls the best car in this segment,minus point is only turning view, superb dashboatd i love it heavy body doors stylish lamps good boots space seat belt alarm low noise inside freelegroom on back seats and front seat great ground clearance even we can drive in rural soil roads .

Actually I bought a 2015 model bolt xt diesel top end model as new from Concorde motors Chennai as they offered me some discount in price.. I m facing fault in harman music player touch s not working precisely.. Gear shifting s worse.. Stepney s not alloy they have given normal wheel and it s mismatching in radius.. Performance s good.. Interiors are much better than the old tata vehicles.. Exterior can be improved.. Steering s too small to handle.. Mileage can be improved..

It's an amazing car with top quality interiors and good mileage and specious cabin that can accommodate 5 people comfortably for long distance journey . Covered 62k kms with no complaints so far. Boot is not big enough if you are packing luggage for couple of days travel. Over all its a great car with lot of goodies.
