Tata Bolt Spied Testing Again, Before Next Year Launch

Ever since the Tata Motors flaunted its new Zest sedan and Bolt hatchback, the cars were the eye candy of not only the possible buyers, but of the market experts as well. The Tata Zest has already been launched and has received the warmest response ever from a Tata car. Now, the Tata Bolt is on the launch list and has been spotted testing many times for its possible next year launch. The hatchback is completely based on its sedan sibling, but in a shorter version. The car will also get the new Revotron engine developed by the Tata, just like the Zest did.
