    The Bolt’s high kerb weight and heavy turbocharged petrol engine put it at a disadvantage against its competitors. In the most efficient ‘Eco’ mode, the Bolt managed a respectable 11.4kpl in our urban cycle and 16.1kpl on our highway route. However, that’s some way off the Swift whose K-series petrol returns 12.6kpl and 17kpl on the same route. In ‘Sport’ and ‘City’ modes, the Bolt will be even thirstier.

    We’ve not had a chance to test the diesel Bolt yet but to put things into perspective, ARAI has rated it at 22.95kpl while the Swift and Grand i10 have an ARAI rating of 25.2kpl and 24kpl, respectively.
