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

The new audio system features MapMyIndia GPS, touchscreen and voice commands

The center console for both cars features a Harman developed infotainment system.

Under the hood, there is a tweaked suspension system and should offer better ride quality as well as dynamics.

Another big change is the adoption of an electric power steering that comes in place of the Vista’s hydraulic unit. The EPS system, developed by ZF, is said to improve ease of use and should also bring with it small gains in efficiency.

Petrol engine for both cars is Tata’s in-house 1.2 revotron turbo petrol engine with almost 84 bhp (5000 rpm) and 140 Nm of torque (1750-3500 rpm)

Diesel duties will be take care of by the Fiat source 1.3 Multijet diesel

Transmission options will include the new automated manual transmission (AMT), called F-tronic

On the inside, the Bolt and Zest get fresh-new interiors. Dash is brand new too with a two tone scheme. Space, like all Tata cars is a USP.

The new audio system features MapMyIndia GPS, touchscreen and voice commands

The center console for both cars features a Harman developed infotainment system.

The sedan comes with day-time running lights up front, but the hatchback Bolt doesn’t have them.

Zest is a sub 4-meter sedan. The overall design is nice, but could have been neater and sorted.

LED tail lamps look nice on both cars

The two new cars are just a precursor to Tata’s ambitions to try and make itself a more premium car maker.

Both the cars are identical till the rear door. Comprehensive restyling has been carried out.

Aggressive front styling, sharp front bumper, new grille, and striking headlamps.

Here is a holographic representation of the Zest sedan’s interior

Zest features the recently unveiled 1.2 liter Revotron engine, and the Automated Manual transmission, what Tata Motors, preder calling F-tronic transmission. Tata Motors claim that the car features a segment first EPAS, really?

The cars can stream maps from phone to screen which is a touch-screen panel. It can read out messages too. Quite an advanced infotainment system

And here is the Bolt hatchback – what do you think about the design, guys

Here is the Zest sedan

The new cars will herald Tata Motors new design language

All-new interior / dashboard with flowy design – new colors, textures, patters and materials

Bold Hatchback and Zest get projector headlamps / LED tail-lamps

Zest Features AMT transmission, LED DRLs, Harman infotainment system and 2 drive modes.

Both Bold hatch and Zest sedan launched. Staye tuned for images.

The Zest (compact sedan) looks quite nice, especially at the reat. Bolt (Hatch) is similar to the Vista, but with more appeal

The Tata Motors Horizonext event has started – Zest compact sedan unveiled. Bolt hatchback to follow.

Tata Motors is organizing a pre-Auto Expo press conference in New Delhi. The company will preview its future cars and technologies at the exclusive press event. The cars and technologies unveiled at the press con will later be exhibited at the 2014 Auto Expo as well. While nothing specific has been said about the products and tech to be showcased, the invite clearly suggests that it will be a multi-product, multi new tech event. We are looking at the unveiling of the Zest (codename Falcon 5) compact sedan, the Bolt hatchback (codename Falcon 4) and the Nexon (earlier rumored as JUMP) compact SUV that we reported about a couple of days back. Tata Motors Zest / Bolt / Nexon should help tata Motors expand its product portfolio in the mainstream segment, which, of late has started looking stagnant. As always, we at Motoroids are covering the event live, and will update with information about the new products with relevant images and tech specs as soon as the event goes underway at 11:30 AM

I am impressed with the cars they are launching, with their paint quality, mostly evenly panel gaps as seen on their showcased car, hopefully production versions continue to carry it too along with interiors which are brilliant.

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

Both cars are seriously awesome looking and aggressive!
But the Zest sedan is the Best!
Tata has really taken a giant leap forward to catch up!
Love the new dashboard and interiors (although a bit inspired by the i20)!
My uncle could have waited for this instead of getting the Manza!

Wow !! Both look really good, well done TATA[clap] only SAD part is Karl was seriously missing at the launch, his soul will be happy looking at this.

Personally I liked ZEST and Bolt is good but still it has previous Vista curve on the rear when we view it from side. Eager to see them in Delhi

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

first look, impressive. So people who were crying same old TATA can rest assured now.

Quality looks top notch, in the pics atleast. BUT Why TATA why? Why display the cars with stupid looking skirts (front rear and side). Bolt without the skirt looks fab compared to the one with it.
