      Exterior Very good design from Tata motors. Back end finishing, especially roof joining with the boot lid is awesome.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Harman infotainment rocks, very good leg room and head room. have a decent boot space. GPS integration is a plus.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very good, especially sport mode in ighways is a plus. AMT box is very smooth, though, gear shift can be noticed, the shift is smooth. I get 14.5 kmpl in bangalore city and 21 kmpl in highways at 100 kmph with full AC.

      Ride Quality & Handling Active return steering give good control over the EPA steering. Handling the car is comdfortable. Cornering stability gives good control over hill terrains in hairpin bend.

      Final Words For the least costing diesel automatic this is best value for money car. this car will suit for both city ride and highway trips.

      Areas of improvement Bottle holder could be designed properly. could have added a camera for reverse parking which is integrated with music system display. 'A' pillar could be designed better. Reverse camera could be integrated with Harman system.

      Drivability, Interior spaceNo bottle holder, thick A pillar

      Exterior Are facny, gives compact and intact look with quality finishing.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Fantastic, you have all the comforts,features & space required which you want to extract from a car of this range.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Using ZESt since April 2016. Engine performance is very good but sometime it gives the feeling that engine should have had little more power specially when you are driving in 3rd gear and above. Fuel economy is perfect. On highway in ECO mode one can extract the mielage upto 19 KM per ltr or even sometimes more. In city one can obtain the mielage about 14 KM per ltr comfortably in normal traffic. Gearbox is smooth but little harse when you are changing it to reverse gear.

      Ride Quality & Handling Soothing, comfortable and fantastic. You will feel the worth of it especially if you go for long drive.

      Final Words It can compete with any vehicle of her class/Segment and will definitely stand ahead at final destination.

      Areas of improvement NA.

      Exterior so so.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) was impressive in first view but on use fing tiring to use on long drives, shaky back seat, worst quality of sound system, it hangs, buttons change command, back sensor delay, poor head light, poor plastic, non available spares, poor service network, worst customer care.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is ok but average is 12 km in city and 18 on highway at 80-90 km/speed which is less compared to similar cars

      Ride Quality & Handling Back seat passenger feels jerks. Location of race is such that foot is located at an angle due to poor thy suppor , makes tiring for long travel. Head lights are poor.

      Final Words Do not buy any Tata car due to poor service network, customer care and spares supply.

      Areas of improvement Customer care and quick response is missing. I gave faults during my first service and repeated  at subsiquent service, no body takes feed back. On complaint, no body have record of previous services. No reminder for service. No information given about what was done during service. Over all total mess.

      NothingProclamation sound system, wrong mileage shown after 19 km travel shows 20 km, poor head light, etc

      Exterior

       Given the size constraint the design is really good.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       Features are vast improvement over previous models 

       

      Audio system by Harman is mind blowing, 8 speakers in built make it mind blowing.

      The AC is uniform and chilling within few minutes, controls on steering are easy to access, e

      Good finish and good quality materials used in the cabin bulit, nice insulated cabin which makes hard to guess to such a level that it is difficult to tell if the engine is in on or off mode(petrol), 3 can sit on the rear without any issue at all and good leg room no problem on long journeys at all, the air bags are included only for 7 lakhs on road for both driver seat  and copassenger makes it a safe car, in bulit security alarm is cool and secure, 

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       Engine is responsive, smooth and efficient

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Brilliant Ride quality and handling

      Final Words

       Though Earlier products were not as refined but were still pretty useful and practical Im yet to exeprience the Service which was pain point previously

      Areas of improvement  

       Delay in delivery , Lack of knowledge, some misinformation and commitments 

       

      Good design, ample space, very silent, smooth rideNothing at the moment

      Exterior The  car is feature loaded, with high performance and superb looks.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I found that there was rear was very spacious, good in cabin noise isolation, Excellent music system.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best in class. I compared it with swift desire and excent. Iniially I was hesitating and planning to take polo since both are priced at the same range. After I took a test drive of this and the new VW polo, I removed VW polo from my list (main cause was the rear seat comfort).

      Ride Quality & Handling Clutch is very light, Again this was compared to polo. you get a sense of stability while driving in high speeds. No body roll at all. Could not test the corner stability  as there was no proper roads in chennai to test it.

      Final Words Simply the best. Hatsof to TATA. I made my booking soon after my test drive was done. i never took time to change my decision. According to me this car was the best car in the segment.(Compring it with  Swift Dzire, Chevorelete Sail , Hyundai Xcent, Vw Polo, Hyundai i20 elite, Maruthi Swift).

      People have a wrong openion about the TATA cars for their make, customer service, After sales service. I believe that tata has taken a huge leap to make a great come back to the market.

      Final Words.: Have a test drive to beileve it. Its no longer old tata car.Its a new game changer for TATA.

      Areas of improvement Rear defigger was provided ony in top end variant. hope they make it standard in all varitants like how ABS is standard in all models ( except the initial base variant).

      Styling, Features, Space, Performance, noise isolation, cabin comfortrear defogger in lower variants(safety feature)
