Excellent Car

Exterior Looks jazzy and young. Specially the Daytime running lights and LED tail lamps gives it a luxury look. Resembles standard Tata signature from the front but completely new from the back.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seats are very comfortable and as its from Tata its very spacious. There are many first and best in class features specially the touch screen and voice recognition based infotainment system of 8 speakers surround sound effect. Voice recognition is very effective even for normal Indian accent. The cabin is completely insulated from noise and you feel completely cut-off from outside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very quite specially from inside because of best insulated cabin. The power and pickup is great because of the turbocharged engine. Infact, it can compete with cars of higher segment in engine performance. Fuel economy is not that good. Its giving me just 12.5 km/l with full AC on, in city and traffic jam conditions. On highway with AC, it gave me 15 km/l. Fuel economy increases in Eco mode of the engine which works with reduced power and pickup.

Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth and comfortable ride quality and easy handling.

Final Words Its an excellent car with features beating the cars of even the higher segment of Honda City / Hyundai Verna. Its power and pickup are better than all competitors including DZire, Amaze and Xcent. Its space and comfort is also better than all competitors. And its price is lesser than all competitors, even lesser than some premium hatchbacks like I20 Elite. I don't think any logical person will find a better car than Zest. Only if you go by the brand name perceptions, you should buy any other car. Otherwise, this is the best car.

Areas of improvement Tata's engineers should research and find out. I could not do that.

Great Power and Pickup, Completely Noiseless, Highly comfortable, Best infotainment systemYet to find
