Bajaj Qute has been termed as a quadricycle, but not a car, despite having four wheels, four seats, and a proper car-like cabin. But, in the latest decision taken by Road Transport and Highways Ministry, the vehicle appears to have received similar status as cars. The ministry has added the vehicle in the list of ‘non-transport vehicles’, which means it can be bought by private users. The decision has been taken to offer a cheaper and safer transport option.

Speaking about the Bajaj Qute Car, it weighs only 475 kg. The vehicle is available in both petrol and CNG options. The petrol variant offers 35 km of fuel efficiency and the CNG variant returns 43 km/kg. As Bajaj claims, the vehicle offers at least 65% better mileage compared to any small car available in the Indian market. Now, it is to be seen how the automaker makes the vehicle comply with the upcoming emission norms and new safety norms.
