Tata Zest User Reviews

Exterior

 Excellent look and design, looks more stylish. Stands out when comparing with swift Dzire, Amage, Baleno etc.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Comfortable and spacious car in the segment. Harman Infotainment made everything easy on their integrated voice command for Music, AC, FM, Calling etc. A good DJ like sound quality with 8 speakers. AC is good, Tilt steering n adjustable seat has made it more comfortable, even u can comfortably sleep when tired from long drive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Powerful Engine, Easily picksup from 2nd gear with AC on when car is fully stopped. Tata claims 17KM/Ltr. I have driven car more than 3000Kms and getting Average on Highway n city (both inclusive) 15.6 KM/Ltr. Just had my first service and is getting more smooth. Gearbox is like a finger touch. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Nice in night as adjustable projector lamps, Reverse parking assistance made it more convienent for parking. 

Final Words

Excellent car from tata, Value for money. one can find better solutions like the features provided by TATA but have to pay almost double, e.g. Maruti Ciaz top model is comparable with this TATA Zest XT but for that one has to pay almost 1.5 times.    

Areas of improvement  

 Tata should launch Petrol version in AMT as well

 

good inside out, value for moneyNil observed till date

Exterior Amazing styling just loved it :)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are amazing , look upclass. The space is amazing just missed the bottle holder though. Rest all is amazing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Love the engine performace in the highways , have driven both i20 and zest in highways and I personally found Zest far better in terms of control and drivability for longer distances. Even city rides are fun where the children can enjoy loads of space on the back seat for all the fun.

Fuel economy : I am getting around 12-13 in city with AC and in highway this increases to around 16-17 for petrol which I feel is kind of ok but could have been better.

Ride Quality & Handling Amazing

Final Words After driving for around 10000 Kms , I can say that overall I am satisfied with my decision and not to forget cheaper maintance :)

Areas of improvement Not much as such just the fuel economy could have been better.

Styling , Infotainment System , AC , Interior Space, BootFuel Economy can be a bit higher

Exterior ATTRACTIVE, GROUND CLEARANCE IS VERY GOOD, SHOULD HAVE PUT REAR WIPER AT THE HIGHEST VERSION OF REVETRON AT LEAST, GPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) SPACEY COMFORTABLE, GOOD VOICE COMMAND CONTROL OF ALL FUNCTIONS LIKE MUSIC, CALL, TEMPERATURE ETC.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AUTO GEAR AT XT MODEL, MANY THINGS ARE MENTIONED IN THE MANUAL BUT NOT AVAILABLE IN THE HIGEST END OF XT MODEL ALSO.

Ride Quality & Handling GOOD, comfertabily one can drive on indian roads having ditches, puddles etc. Due to its good ground clearance. Handling is very smooth. very spacious, it definitely an eye catching vehicle on road. Very good for a lady driver like me.

Final Words GOOD VEHICLE TO GO FOR BUT NEED TO ADD MANY ACCESSORIES EVEN IN THE HIGEST END XT MODEL.

Areas of improvement DEALERS AT THE SAME TOWN GIVE DIFFERENT OFFERS TO DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS ON SAME DAY . THERE IS NO UNIFORMITY SO YOU MAY FEEL CHEATED IF YOU R NOT VERY SMART.

EXTERIOR GOOD, GOOD GROUND CLEARANCE, GOOD FEATURES ON VOICE CONTROLDRIVER SEAT HEIGHT, REAR WIPER NOT EXISTING ,GPS NOT AVAILABLE, TATA DEALER'S CHEATING.

Exterior The style and looks are subjective , so can't comment much , but can say that I liked the design

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Loads of leg room , lots of space , comfortable seats just that someone forgot to put some bottle holders. Looks premium. Harman Infotainment system is best in the class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is great and the latest versions of ECU update have improved on fuel economy as well. I myself tried after the update and in economy mode I got around 21 KMPL for a 150 km drive on highway all on Economy mode with AC on. Just amazing with a petrol engine. 15-16 in City with Bangalore traffic is great.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is great and feel safe to drive even at 140.

Final Words Just go for it , at the price range it's a steal. Highly recommended.

Areas of improvement Rear parking camera and rear AC vent.

Comfort , Space , Fuel efficieny , Harman Infotainment systemShould have rear parking camera and bottle holder

Exterior Projector head lamps & DRLs gives premium looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) HARMAN music system is  awesome with 4 speakers & 4 tweeters. Lack of space for bottles , phones etc. Tata should really made some changes to door pockets to accomodate the 1Ltr bottles. Seats are very good. 3 people can travel in rear seat for a long drive without any problem. They should have given one more interior light at the center or near the rear seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pickup from 0 to 70KMPH speed looks OK(<20sec with city mode). But it really lags in 5th gear. it will take more time to reach 100 if the road is slightly up hill. Fuel economy in highway is ok. (I have completed 3500 Kms in 4 months and 1st service also done) getting 15-16KMPL on highways & 10-11KMPL in city.

Gear box shifting is ok. Not so good for 5th & reverse gears. As the gear rod has smooth handle some times it will slip from the hand while moving to 5th gear or reverse gear.

Ride Quality & Handling Upto 120 speed on a plain road & small turnings feels comfortable. But on the humps & large turnings @ >90 KMPH feels lack of control.

Driving in night is littile difficult due to poor head lamps. Even after turning high beam the full road is not visible & the straight road also visible hardly 150mts.

Final Words If we look for seating comfort in 8L ragne its very good car.

Areas of improvement Pickup needs to improve in 5th gear, Head liht with high beam in highway is not visible whole road and atleast 200mts.

Space and comfortLow pickup at 5th gear, not so great mileage & low lihgting even eith high beam

Buying experience is good , showroom staffs are very friendly and they only arranged for pooja of my new car , Ride quality is just Amazing u will be sleeping like baby at rear seat as this car isolates from any bad road or noise outside love the space inside car ,mine is sky grey with DRL looks awesome , people started at car and some people will ask about car in signals/ parked by.. Mileage is 13 to 14 in city without AC in city mode.on highways 17to18 in city mode ,but in Eco mode it is truly a superb mileage of 20 to 21 kmpl with speeds of 80kmph,only cons is about I'll plastic fittings in floor panels . Worst service centers really some of worst dealers ruining such popular VFM products brand TATA ,pls buy Tata products if & only dealers are good otherwise don't go .....My dealers VIN AUTO in tumkur Karnataka is worst worst worst....

Exterior Frontal looks robust, rear is most beautyful, high class paint finish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great seating, ample legroom, excellent AC

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth and responsive in City mode, flys out in sports mode and delivers 22-25 KMPL in eco mode at 70 KMph speed (Petrol Revotran)

Ride Quality & Handling Supple and planted ride, confident cornering and good breaking 

Final Words I was driving a Nano since last 5 years and am very fond of its space, drivability and economy, therefore was little suspecious of Zest's mileage as it weighs almost double of the Nano. With sale offers, I bought Zest RT XT for Rs. 7.0 lacs; almost Rs. 1.0 lakh cheaper than any other 1200 cc car. With its excellent fuel economy I'm enjoying great rides for long distances with my family and had clocked 22000 KMs in 13 months with an average economy of Rs. 3.25/KM, almost equal to any diesel car.

Areas of improvement

1. Dashboard rattle along poor/WBM roads.

2. Accelerator paddle placing.

3. Projector HL adjustment.

Built, Finish, Ergonomics, Comfort, EconomyClunky door handle, ill focussed HL, high placed accelerator paddle.

I think this car is best on road. I have an amazing experience with zest xt. Low budzet with high-tech features. Thanx Tata to made a successful sedan. Harman music system feel like flying. Boot space wow. Acceleration good, Power good, interiors classy, Braking is much better than others.

NANA
