About Tata Zest
Summary
Launched in 2014, the Tata Zest was the company’s first all new product under its Horizonext product strategy. It’s widely admired for its premium styling, class-leading features and competent engines. Designed with inputs from Tata’s design studios in Pune, Turin (Italy) and Coventry (UK), the compact sedan looks more premium than most Tata cars below Rs. 10 lakh. It gets new signature grille with the new ‘Humanity Line’, trapezoidal lower air dam, projector headlamps with chrome accents, ‘The Diamond DLO’ and ‘Slingshot Line’ on side profile and various other styling elements.
The interior, too, looks a lot better than many of its rivals thanks to the material quality and features. The car offers best-in-class features such as Harman’s ConnectNext infotainment system with 5-inches touchscreen, reverser parking sensor display, voice commands etc. Powering the Zest is Tata’s self-developed 88.73bhp,1.2-litre MPFi turbocharged Revotron engine and the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre, four-cylinder Quadrajet diesel motor. The latter one churns out 88.73bhp with 200Nm. Power is transmitted to the front-wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and an F-Tronic AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox.
Further to this, read Tata Zest Road Test details by our expert.
Exterior
Based on the company’s new ‘DesignNext’ philosophy, the Zest looks more contemporary and premium than previous Tata cars. On the front end, the car features new signature grille with the new ‘Humanity Line’, trapezoidal lower air dam, projector headlamps with chrome accents, fog lamps, daytime running lights and pronounced hood. The side profile gets ‘The Diamond DLO’ and ‘Slingshot Line’. The bold shoulder creases and wraparound rear styling further enhance its appeal. Other styling elements include a new pair of 15-inches alloy wheels, LED taillights, rear view mirrors, rear bumper with black treatment and well-integrated boot.
Interior
Similar to the exterior, the car shows significant improvement inside over previous Tata car models. Having a long wheelbase, the compact sedan offers ample cabin space. The height adjustable driver seat and supportive rear bench offer immense comfortable. It gets piano black finishing on center console, instrument cluster and glove box and silver finishing around AC vents and throughout the cabin that add a premium touch to its appearance. Feature list include Harman’s ConnectNext infotainment system with 5-inches touchscreen (3-inches on base-model), audio system with Bluetooth, iPod/USB and Aux-in connectivity, reverser parking sensor display, voice commands features and many more.
Engine and Transmission
The Zest is available in both petrol and diesel engine options. Powering the petrol variants is Tata’s self-developed 1.2-litre MPFi turbocharged Revotron engine that churns out a maximum power of 88.73bhp at 5, 000rpm and 140Nm of torque at 1, 750rpm to 3, 500rpm. The diesel trims are powered by a 1.3-litre, four-cylinder Quadrajet engine, which produces 88.73bhp with 200Nm. A 5-speed manual transmission and an F-Tronic technology enabled AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox are on offer.
Performance and Handling
Both the powertrains are refined, and have well-controlled NVH levels. The 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine delivers instant power with linear supply at all RPMs, but it lacks mid-range punch. Tata’s Revotron unit is first-in-segment to offers three drive mode selector - Eco, City and Sport. The new AMT gearbox is a great convenience, but isn’t smooth at high revs. The ride is balanced, thanks to the agile suspension that absorbs bumps with ease.
Braking System
The front disc brakes and rear drum brakes provide adequate stopping power. ABS (anti-lock braking system) and EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution) further enhance its braking capabilities, though the pedal brake could have been slightly more responsive.
Mileage
The 1248 cc Diesel - powered variant delivers a fuel economy of 20 kmpl in city and 22 kmpl on highways, while the Petrol variant offers a mileage of 16 kmpl on urban roads and 18 kmpl and freeways, respectively.
Safety Features
The Tata’s compact sedan doesn’t just deliver impressive mileage; it also ensures a safe drive. The car comes equipped with a plenty of safety features such as front dual airbags, ABS (anti-lock braking system) + EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution), perimetric alarm system, front seat belt pre-tensioner with load limiter, front and rear fog lamps, immobilizer and speed dependent auto door lock system. Though, one must note that the aforementioned features vary variant-wise.
Verdict
With premium styling, best-in-class features and frugal engines, the all-new Tata Zest makes a perfect deal for buyers. It’s an absolute fun-to-drive city car.
Competition
Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Vs Tata Zest

User Reviews for Zest
don't follow sheeps,go with ur own leader

What Can ImproveFog lamp cover quality Boot light is missing Rat mesh facility could be an added advantage Better Mileage
Now coming to the flip-side of my vehicle with a long-term ownership - 22,000 KMs in 2 years 5 months. I own this XMS model from 2014 Dec which is the initial launch of the vehicle, 1. The suspension really gets accumulated with small particles and you feel like something has broken when you bump your car into a pothole or gutter roads Solution: You need to keep washing the suspension which forces the dust particles or mud 2. Mileage is a concern. It sometimes goes to 8km/l in traffic conditions and max I achieved is 12.5km/l with Eco mode in city traffic conditions Solution: Do not cross 1500 RPM inside city 3. The engine cuts off while driving in bumper to bumper traffic while using clutch to move in busy traffic. Solution: Not yet determined for 1 year now, these are my questions for this issue and I hope someone can answer the below situation. I would like to know about the initial pick up in traffic - City Mode. Whenever you are using half clutch does the RPM drop to below 500? What is the idling RPM while at stand still? Is it below 1000 rpm or above? The reason I am asking is because at the initial 1st year, I never used the accelerator while driving in peak traffic. The half clutch drive was doing the job pretty well. During the 2nd year I had to use the old tradition style by using the accelerator and release the clutch to move forward. Which is irritating in peak hours. Is it a problem with all the Tata Zest vehicles or something wrong with my vehicle or its commons for vehicles after a certain period of time? I have complained regarding this to the service center and company `n` number of times and they end up updating the ECU and said the issue is fixed, unfortunately never fixed. I got fed up leaving my vehicle at work shop for days. Is there a solution to this problem!!!
Best Car in the Segment.... Marvellous!!!!!!! :)
Whats GoodInteriors :) Steering :) Infotainment System :) Smooth Drive :) Comfort :)
What Can ImproveExterior Designing to some extent.
Bought this car last year on 22 Oct & am enjoying it. The best in class features. The strong built body & better Kerb Weight makes it safer & in more strong grip with the road while driving. Smooth Drive, the best from Tata, compared to their previous cars. The average is really good. I have even touched the average of 28.2kmpl on highway driving constantly @ 85-90 kmph on long run of 200 km or more. Gr8 car with Gr8 performance. :)
To Awesome
Whats GoodDesign are really look like a luxury car its drls powerful light, I have an xm model, on my first trip I am go to kedarnath the route are very difficult but not for me I don't feel much difficulties in my cars its wishbone suspension are so good like the other costly car very tough in style and it takes 3.5 stars out of 5 in crash test or without airbag, I used it from long time and run approx 22000 km but I don't see any problem in the car its harman system and 8 powerful speakers give clear voice on full volume AC is awesome when we go to Mehndipur Rajasthan the temperature is almost 43 degree but we feel very relax inside the car heater is also awesome use only one time in Kedarnath I think it is best car in her segment and best for all middle class people.
