Bajaj Qute

With the boom in EVs in automobiles, car manufacturers are more concerned about upgrading and developing a new lineup of electric vehicles. And it's noteworthy for Indian fans to get their hands on the country's first-ever quadricycle manufactured by the one and only Bajaj Auto.

It's 2021, and ever since 2012, the manufacturers have been implementing newer technologies with their quadricycle lineup! Yes, the new launch is not a surprising one as India had already received the all-new quadricycle in the year 2019 by Bajaj. But with the latest iteration, things are going to be different.

As a matter of fact, the Bajaj Qute had already made the debut at Auto Expo in 2012. The production version got showcased at the event organized in 2016. With the approval, the Quadricycles have become the new class in vehicles that can get used for both commercialsas well as personal purposes.

Talking about the engine, the Bajaj Qute is the twin-spark powered by the single-cylinder with a 216 ccdisplacement. In fact, this model features the mono-fuel capacity. So, this means that either it comes with the CNG or it has petrol availability. One cannot get both simultaneously! The mileage ranges from 35 (for the Petrol version having manual capacity) to 43 Kmpl (for the CNG version). Both the versions of CNG &Petrol engines offer 43 Kmpl of mileage.

Now, coming to the design of this beast! Although it's a low-tier variant, its design doesn't seem so! The top features include a 12V accessory socket, USB support, FM player having two speakers, vents for the air direction around the windows (mainly for ventilation), and an indicator of the gear position!

It is available in a total of four solid colors, including Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow. The model that has a seating capacity for fourpeople also offers a 4-Speed gearbox! And much to the knowledge of fans, the total number of doors is five.

The car interior has an adjustable seat for the driver, analogue speedometer, vertical vents for ventilation, storage space, stylish lights, reverse lamps, steering wheel rack, wiper motor, tail lamps, and most importantly, the indicator lamp at the sides! So, these might be its USP!

You can also get a small digi-screen with your car that is embedded on its dashboard. As a matter of fact, it provides information concerning time, fuel gauge, selected gear, as well as odometer. No air-conditioning or blowers are available with the model. However, if you want a better version of auto-rickshaw, then this car might be your choice. The seat belts are fantastic. Passengers can also get the grab-handles present for both co-drivers too.

Both driving performance and safety are amazing. The performance is absolutely better than that of an auto-rickshaw. The frame type happens to be Monocoque Chassis. You get a smaller engine than that present in the motorcycle.

However, the good thing is that it comes with nice torque and garners momentum without problems! The reason why it makes commuting easier between cities and small towns is mainly because of its compactness.

Parking can get performed quickly and swiftly. The top-most speed can get reached to 70 kmph. In fact, it drives well on the broken terrain. It happens to be convenient for riding. You can try traveling at a long distance too! Even though it doesn't come with all the latest features of the full-fledged car, it manages to provide comfort while riding (even in rural areas).

In a nutshell, it gives a crucial competition to Maruti Suzuki Alto 800, Renault Kwid and the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso!
