Re: Tata Falcon Hatchback & Compact Sedan To Debut at Auto Expo

After seeing what Ford had to offer "Ford Global Compact Sedan", well, I think Zest is a good looker. BUT I will reserve my opinion till I see it in flesh.

BUT the timing is interesting. With this TATA sure did get peoples attention. And now people will be flooding TATA stands at the expo to have a good look at the duo. Smart move.

Re: Tata Falcon Hatchback & Compact Sedan To Debut at Auto Expo

TATA has finally nailed it this time, IMO their line up looks so good now. Storme/Twist/Bolt/Zest, very appealing to youngsters. They are set for good 5 years.

I like new family look of TATA cars. How things change, who would have believed TATA cars will be complimented one day for head/tail light design. Today they have Projectors/LEDs.

They have great opportunity to now go all guns blazing with Vista, Discontinue VX/ZX variant in June. Relaunch even further trimmed LS/LX with CR4 71PS engine, discontinue TDI and QJet.

> Advanced Bluetooth, voice recognition, text to speech and phone-enabled navigation

Excerpt From Press Release:
Speaking on the occasion of the launch, *Mr. Ranjit Yadav, President, Passenger Vehicles, Tata Motors, said, “We at Tata Motors are delighted to showcase to the global market the much awaited next generation cars – the ZEST, a stunning and exciting new compact sedan and the BOLT, a dynamic hatch. These cars have been engineered for global markets, through global teams across India, UK and Korea to set new standards in their respective segments. These cars are a true representation of our Horizonext philosophy, with best-in-class offerings for performance that yet offers economy and efficiency.”

ZEST and BOLT have been designed and developed based on three key fundamental principles, namely, DesigNext, DriveNext, ConnectNext. ZEST and BOLT, a result of the collaborative design inputs from the three Tata Motors design studios in Pune, Coventry (UK) and Turin ( Italy), come with several segment first features and a new design language on the exterior and the interior of the car.

The company has introduced a new design language – DesignNext - that gives an expression to an excellent combination of sleek, smart styling and enhanced comfort that increases driver productivity. The new design language distills the fine points of auto design with cuts and lines that accentuate the modern India and its global citizens.

The new design semantics include the new Tata signature grill with new the Humanity Line, visually flowing into the dynamic headlamps to create a unique design signature for the brands. With flowing lines that create an illusion of movement even when the car is standing still, its exterior exaggerates size to give it a feeling of a larger hatchback or a sedan. In the ZEST, the projector headlamps complemented by chrome accents, the daytime running lights, the rear treatment of LED lamps, the trendy 15” alloy wheels, combined with a signature Buzz Blue colour, add up to a dynamic and stylish pouncing stance. Matching aesthetic design with function, the BOLT’s floating roof spoiler not only provides an extra-sporty touch but also aids in aerodynamics. The sporty, confident look is further enhanced with fog lamp Bezels.

The interiors of both these cars are geared for a premium feel. The driver-focused dashboard architecture carries premium chrome embellishment to render the cockpit with an aura of elegance. The instrument cluster and the central AC vents are connected in a single wing-shaped graphics.

DriveNext, is a new approach to the driving dynamics that offers driver complete control of a highly responsive machine. The ZEST and BOLT will be powered by the segment-first, Turbocharged Intercooled Multi-point Fuel-Injected (MPFi) Petrol Engine, REVOTRON 1.2T, which brings revolution in refinement, performance and economy.

The diesel variant of ZEST will have the first-in-class F-Tronic technology-enabled, 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission and will be powered by a segment-leading 90PS engine with 200 Nm of uninterrupted flat torque to offer a peppy drive with seamless delivery of power.

Further, both ZEST and BOLT will have EPAS (Electronic Power Assisted System), with ‘Active Return’ function and speed sensitive power steering – a first for both segments. New advanced ABS for improved braking efficiency and with yet another segment-first, the Cornering Stability feature, add to the safety features of the vehicle. A silent, quieter cabin will ensure a pleasant and superlative drive experience. The Dual-path suspension coupled with a zero pivot subframe ensures smooth and comfortable ride. The improved suspension provides effective isolation from road inputs without compromising on the body control, translating into a class leading balance between ride and handling. This provides for a very comfortable but engaging drive experience.

At Tata Motors, with ConnectNext, the company will deliver a new level of driving and ownership experience as users from their own smart device, can not only enjoy superior quality of entertainment, control the deliverance of all ergonomics, acoustics and climatic needs, but also get access to outside world seamlessly, with a touch.

Recognizing the dynamic consumer world where connectivity is an increasing need for all, Tata Motors has associated with HARMAN for designing the infotainment and audio acoustics system and with MapmyIndia for next generation navigation & location based services.

The company has incorporated latest new technologies to make the ZEST and the BOLT, the most connected, high-tech hatchback and sedan respectively. Forming the core of the ConnectNext experience is the all-new HARMAN infotainment system with first-in-class features that will allow the car users to stay connected with friends, family and the world.

With the 5-inch touchscreen supporting rich multimedia experience, advanced Bluetooth technology, smart voice recognition, advanced smartphone integration, supporting phone enabled navigation, social media integration, touch phone controlled interface, the ZEST and the BOLT will ensure these car users could seamlessly integrate their professional and personal lives into their commute and travel, while bringing in an unparalled infotainment experience. The system has in-built HVAC controls, which is a first-in-class experience for all consumers.

Re: Tata Falcon Hatchback & Compact Sedan To Debut at Auto Expo

This is what Tata's should deliver. Yes, they have retained the same outer shell for Bolt, Same as vista. but they have completely changed the interiors, even the exterior cchanges are welcome and I appreciate their effort whole heartedly.

The projector headlights, the removal or classic x-mas lights, the modifed headlights are all appreciated. They have made this car look different.

But What has delighted me the interiors of both these cars. The Chorme finishing, the finish of the instrument cluster, the touchscreen navigation system and the audio controls, the instrument cluster and the intergrated Driver informations display is MILES ahead for Tata.

It takes Tata right in the league of bigger players like VW polo. Much better than Swift, and even I20 for that matter.

Great work TATA!!! Karl wish you were here.

I think they now deserver the numbers for these vehicles. Dont delay the launch of these cars.

Re: Tata Falcon Hatchback & Compact Sedan To Debut at Auto Expo

OMG these car look even more better in sunlight, They look so premium. Zest has made DZire/Amaze look outdated. Bolt will challenge the best, Vista was already the 2nd best selling hatch after Swift, selling more copies than i20. Bolt will take the game to next level.
