5-seater car for ₹ 1 lakh! Tata Nano’s position shaken by Bajaj Qute

Bajaj Qute: In today’s era, where buying a car is no less than a dream for a common man, Bajaj Qute has created a stir in the market. With a price of around ₹ 1 lakh and a seating capacity of 5 people, this car has now become a new ray of hope for those who used to travel with their entire family on a bike or scooter. Tata Nano was called the ‘cheapest car’, but now Bajaj Qute has snatched this crown.

What is Bajaj Qute and why is it in so much discussion?

Bajaj Qute is a quadricycle, which is placed in the category between two-wheeler and four-wheeler. Its purpose is to provide personal transportation at a low cost.

• 5-seater capacity
• Mileage up to 35 kilometers per liter
• Available in both petrol and CNG variants
• Small in size but very convenient

Bajaj Qute: How is it possible to get a car in ₹ 1 lakh?

When there is no car available in the market below ₹ 5-6 lakh, then a 5-seater car in ₹ 1 lakh is surprising. Actually Bajaj Qute is a quadricycle, not a traditional car, that is why its price is also very low.

Tata Nano vs Bajaj Qute: Which is better?

The Tata Nano was once called India’s ‘lakhtakiya’ car. But slowly the Nano was phased out of the market and the Bajaj Qute took its place.

• The price of Nano had increased to more than ₹ 2 lakhs
• Qute has better mileage than Nano
• Qute is small in size but perfect for city driving

Real life example:
Ramesh Kumar from Meerut, a private security guard, bought the CNG version of the Qute. Earlier, he was unable to take his family anywhere on the bike, but now he has started going to the cinema or temple with the entire family on weekends – that too at a very low cost.

Who should buy Bajaj Qute?

• People who travel with their family on bike
• People who have a low budget but want a personal vehicle
• School teachers, delivery partners, residents of villages or small towns
• People who want low maintenance and high mileage

From my experience:
I have tried it myself and found it very easy and light to drive in city traffic. There is no problem of parking and the cost of CNG is less than that of a bike.

What are the shortcomings of Bajaj Qute?

• Not suitable for highway or long distance travel
• No safety features like airbags, ABS
• Does not offer the same comfort as a traditional car
• There are still problems in its registration in some states

Where to buy and what is the process?

Qute is available only at certain Bajaj dealerships. To buy it, you will need the following documents:

• Identity card (Aadhaar, PAN)
• Address proof
• Bank statement (if financing is required)
• Driving license

What to keep in mind before buying?

Make sure to check the status of its permission and registration in your city
If you are getting it financed, then understand the interest rates and down payment
Choose petrol or CNG version as per your usage

Bajaj Qute has once again proved that an affordable means of transport can be found even at a low cost. This car is a boon for those lakhs of Indians who carry their children and wife on bikes. After Tata Nano, Bajaj Qute has now become the new identity of ‘car of the poor’. If you are looking for a cheap and affordable option, then Bajaj Qute can be an excellent option for you.

As soon as I heard about Bajaj Qute, I wondered if such a cheap car could really be useful? But after driving it and talking to people, it became clear that this is not a car, but a revolution. It is making the dream of the common man come true, which was limited to only bikes.
