Tata Motors will launch the Zest, their latest compact sedan, in Nepal next month. The company launched the car in India last year and now the manufacturer will start exporting the car to the neighbouring country.
The Tata Zest is a compact sedan that is based on a revised version of the X1 platform which currently underpins the Vista and the Manza. The Zest marks a whole new chapter for Tata Motors in terms of design and technology. The vehicle was developed using inputs from Tata’s design studios in Pune, Coventry in the UK and Turin in Italy. The car boasts of many features like projector headlamps and AMT gearbox etc. that are a segment-first in India.
The Tata Zest will be available with two engine options - 1.3-litre diesel and the new Revotron 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine. While the five-speed manual gearbox will be offered in both the petrol and diesel variants, the revolutionary AMT gearbox will be sold only with the diesel version.
The Tata Zest has revamped the image of the brand in India and we hope that it will replicate the success in Nepal as well. Prices will be announced next month and the car will go up against the Honda Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and Hyundai Xcent, which are already on sale in Nepal through different distributors.
