Tata Zest is the compact sedan version
of Manza with lots of changes to the sheet metal to engine to driving dynamics.
Tata Motors has worked hard to make the vehicle a pure driver’s car, the
essence which was lacking in all Tata vehicles. Of course the Zest wins over
all its competitor in terms of space and seating comfort, a feature seen in
Tata cars. To remind our readers, Tata Motors was the first to launch a compact
sedan in India in the form of Indigo CS.
Tata Zest compact sedan is available in
4 trims on petrol and 5 trims on diesel. The petrol variant is powered by all
new 1.2L Revotron engine developed in house by Tata Motors. It has power output
of 88 Bhp and 14.27 kgm of torque and comes with three driving modes – Eco, City and
Sport. The diesel variant gets the same Fiat sourced 1.3L Multijet diesel with
two power outputs – 74 Bhp and 89 Bhp. Both the petrol and diesel variants are
mated to a 5 speed manual transmission and top of the line diesel model gets an
automated manual transmission (AMT) as well.
The Zest compact sedan gets a dual
tone dashboard and plenty of equipment seen first on any Tata car. Top end
model gets day time running lights as well. With the car, Tata Motors has
introduced a new warranty scheme of 3 years or 1,00,000 Km with an annual
