Bajaj
has did it! The Indian two-wheeler giant has finally forayed into the
4-wheel segment with the launch of Bajaj RE-60 three days before the
Delhi Auto Expo 2012. What’s interesting is that the RE-60 promises
mileage of whooping 35 kilometers per liter of petrol! We bet every
visitor is is going to drool over the new car and praise Bajaj Auto.
It’s clear that the battleground is ready for the war of cars between
Tata nano & Bajaj RE-60. We wrote about the possible launch of the Bajaj car at DAE 2012 and now we have the photos. Bajaj RE 60 Front View Bajaj
officials say that the car has been in development since last 4 years.
The RE-60 delivers top speed of 70 kmph and has been designed
considering the city driving conditions. The car has a rear mounted, 200
cc petrol engine. Bajaj plans to sell the car overseas. Bajaj’s MD, Mr.
Rajiv Bajaj informed the reporters that the target customer for this
car is those who use 3-wheelers. The company manufactures over 520,000
three-wheelers a year and exports over 300,000 of them. The company is
eyeing Sri-Lanka to export the new RE-60 cars.  Baja RE-60 Car Side View The mileage Bajaj is promising is definitely impressive!
We aren’t big fans of the economy cars and we’d refrain from commenting
on the looks of Bajaj’s RE-60; but it seems to be inspired by the
auto-rickshaw Bajaj manufactures. The mileage crazy Indian customers
would definitely want to own this car, and Bajaj’s already established
servicing centers would be an added advantage. However ever rising
petrol prices could hold potential customers from buying this car right
away. The price of the car is expected to be around INR. 125000 –
160000. We do not have information about the versions of this car Bajaj
plans to launch and the price point. As always, we promise to keep you
updated about the new RE-60. In the mean time, we want to know what do
you think about the Bajaj RE-60? Do you want to own it? Via: TOI
