Bajaj Qute (2021) - A "car" for R150pm!?

​We get behind the wheel of the compact Bajaj Qute to see what all the fuss is about, whether it really does cost R5 000 and more importantly, what it's like to drive.

First unveiled at the NAMPO agricultural show in 2017, the Bajaj Qute has set social media alight more recently with stories, memes, jokes and videos about this compact little 'car'. The story goes that you can buy it for only R5 000, that it will only cost you R150 per month and that you can insure it for only R1.20.

Naturally, much of this was a lie but that didn't stop the public from becoming positively enthralled by the prospect of a cheap, efficient runabout.

In order to get the truth about this little machine, we grabbed one from TransRevSA to get to the bottom of this story. Watch our video below to see what sort of equipment it offers, what powers the micro-machine and more importantly, what the real cost is.
