The New Re60 is it competitive to Tata Nano..????

Targeting the middle class consumers, India's second largest bike maker Bajaj Auto is about to introduce its first four-wheeler in the Indian market. Named RE 60, a four-seater intra-city passenger vehicle Fitted with a 200 cc petrol engine car is expected to challenge the supremacy of Maruti Suzuki 800 and Tata Nano in India.

Bajaj RE 60, which is expected to be the strongest competitor of Maruti Suzuki 800 and Tata Nano in the Indian market, will also lure the car lovers with its fuel efficiency. As per Bajaj, the car delivered an astounding mileage of 40 kmpl under testing conditions. However, in regular driving conditions, buyers can expect mileage of close to 35 kmpl on highway, which is more than that of Maruti Suzuki 800 and Tata Nano. Lower emissions would be another USP of Bajaj RE 60, which would boost its sales in India. Emission will be 60 g of CO2 per km by the 200 cc engine of this car. In spite of being a new entrant in the four-wheeler market, Bajaj Auto has delivered an excellent look to its first compact car. Body colored bumpers and stylish wheels add to the appealing look of the vehicle.

Interiors of Bajaj RE 60 will feature folding front windows, central speedometer cluster and prominent seatbelts in cabin and 44-litre boot space. The digital twin spark tech engine is expected to deliver decent performance on all types of terrains. By introducing the fuel injected CNG variant of Bajaj RE 60, the company plans to attract customers who opt for Maruti Suzuki 800 CNG. It is expected that the new water-cooled DTSi 4 (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) engine will help it accelerate to 70 kmph. The company has not provided any specific details regarding the pricing of this four-seater, though it is expected that Bajaj RE 60 will compete with Tata Nano in terms of price.

While the RE60 is designed to be a commercial passenger vehicle Rajiv Bajaj does not rule out the possibility of the vehicle entering various peripheral segments as is the case with its three wheelers. Bajaj recalled Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit’s reaction to the RE60’s design as saying, “The auto rickshaws are an eyesore for tourists and visitors.” It is true that the RE60 does look better than the auto rickshaw; however, the biggest advantage of the four-wheeler over three wheelers is the enhanced safety thanks to a better balance.
