Tata Zest User Reviews

Exterior

 good exteriors, got buzz blue colour, really beautiful, needs extra care and maintanance but shines a lot.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 very good, sleek gear shift rod, seats are very comfortable, music system superb, tweeters do their jobs pretty well, sterring mounted control switches are good, voice command is accurate, best is super light electronic power sterring

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 very smooth, silent and clutch free driving, my heal sometimes sore but most of the time driving is relaxing, during auto crawl mode in first gear the car stops after effortful breaking, gear shifting is noticable but you soon get habitual of that, i usually drive my car at 80 kmph and with 100% ac driving minimum average i got was 20.9 kmpl. ofcourse my route is semi highway. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 easy to drive, effortless sterring controls, i need to pay extra attention by moving my head forward and backward while turning or when a lane merge from right side as thick A pillars blind your view. power is always at your feet. 

Final Words 

very good car by tata motors and i am sure with time they will definately improve the product.

Dear Friends - Good Day!!

Coming from a middle class family, the first thing comes to anybody's mind is "Value for Money". Zest is the answer for your quest for VFM.

I along with my friends went for test driving all the cars. Three of my friends are hardcore Maruti fans and have Swift, Ritz and Zen. The response from all on driving Zest is WOW. Having learned to drive car recently, even I was amazed with the response of Zest while test driving.

Let’s be realistic, who cares for your car more than you. So please check what you get for the hard earned money you spend on a car which is taken on loan.

For less than 5.5 Lakhs [excluding the registration, insurance, etc] in Chennai, I got all 4 power windows, harmen music system, steering wheel mounted music and phone control, projector head lamps, fully electronic ORVM,ABS, Alloy wheels. Check the price of any hatchback with these features in other brands, it will be more than 6.5 lakhs. I got a sedan with great boot space.

The interior space is amazing. For one short trip to beach, 6 adults and 3 kids travelled in my car. 4 adult can sit in the rear seat if they are lean. The seats are broad and comfortable. As usual in all TATA cars, legroom was never an issue in both front and back. For long trips, with all the luggage packed in the boot, it is only people in the car which is a great relief when you have elders who travel in the car.

On the exterior, TATA did a genuine work to bring a new classic look which is new to this segment. The projector head lamps looks sharp but not mean. My car is sky grey and has the executive look and you feel important when people turn their heads to get a second glance on the new model.

The dashboard covers all aspect of the car, for new drivers like me, the gear indicator is a boon, at the right speed, we are reminded to change gear. Since the car was easy to drive, I dared to drive to Bangalore along the Hosur route since it is mostly 4 way lane. I did not realize that I have touched 130kmph until I checked the speedometer. The car sailed so smoothly.

Honestly I was getting only 9 or 10 in the city and I got 13kmpl for the Bangalore trip and I was bit disappointed with the mileage. But friends assured me that car mileage will improve beyond 5000 km. But I could see difference after first service which I gave after driving 1700 Km. The big change in mileage came after crossing 4000 km. I went on a long trip down south up to Rameshwaram. Zest really swallows pot holes. The high ground clearance really helped in certain parts were the highway was under construction near puthukkothai district. Now city mileage is around 12km [promised 13km] and highway is around 17km [promised 17km] with AC always on.

Another amazing feature is the various modes of drive. Zest becomes three different cars in each mode. Eco mode – It becomes small car like alto wherein it will take quite some time to pick up. City mode is standard sedan style drive. The sports mode made me jump up in joy. Power is so visible and you feel that you are in a race car [I know it is exaggeratedJ]. What I am trying to say is that car brings more power and you can over take all those messy truck and bus drivers with ease in sports mode. Warning – do not use sport mode continuously then we you return to city mode, you may not like it.

To summarize, I am not getting paid to promote ZEST so I am not claiming it is THE BEST. But for the money invested, I got a wonderful package and this car brings smiles on my family face whenever we travel and is pocket friendly for me so what more you could ask for.

ZEST up your life.

If you DEZIRE to buy a new car or upgrade, take a look at ZEST, you will be AMAZEd at the features. Test drive will make you dELITEd (delighted).

Switching ECO to SPORT mode can overtake the likes of ecosport at AMAZEing speed, DUSTing off the Tall boys on the highway.

Ride Quality & Handling

Very smooth drive, with E-power steering for better control at high speeds.

Stable even at 170kms/hr speed.

In ECO mode on highways, I get 18kms/litre milege (at 100-110kms/hr speed). Good road grip even in wet conditions.

Switching modes is very easy and you see the effect in a minute, in terms of power, speed and proportionate change in milege.

 

Final Words

 Thumbs UP to the fantastic effort by TATAs.

Clocked 15,380 kms in 10 months and no complaints, except for milege and radiator noise on stopping.

TATA service has improved to a great extent. 

Areas of improvement  

 Radiator continues to run even after switching off the engine draining your battery and also creates an embarrassment in public.

Rear shocks and even rear doors are hard.

Second gear power pickup is too low.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nice music system of harman with eight speakers, switch controls on steering wheel, space management is done quite efficiently.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very good, also the car pick up is excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling My personal opinion about this car is...till date the car had run about 18000 plus km (purchased in December 2014). I have done two times car services by now and no technical problems in maintenance. I have just tried speeding to check how the car behaves at 160 km/hr speed on pune solapur highway and to my surprise the car was very steady and firm on road. Wheel stearing and gear shifting is very smooth, so personally I feel ride quality is quite satisfying to me.

Final Words A good value for money in this segment car.

Areas of improvement Should improve on fuel economy, needs bottle holders & Sun glasses holder and improvement in wind screen wipers & water sprinklers timing.

Nice bold looks, steering and gear shifting very smooth, comfortable seats, nice harman music systemshould have bottle holders and sun glasses holder

Exterior

 Excellent styling. the DRLs look very good and give a premium feel to the car.The finish is very nice and panel gaps are consistent.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interior is Huge like any other TATA car. it is very spacious and can carry 3 adults easily in the back seat. The harman audio system is excellent and very easy to use. the sound quality is at par with the best. The fit and finish is also very premium. The only area where Tata should have worked on is the internal storage. There is very little space for storage of water bottles and other things. Seats are comfortable and the driver seat has a good range of height adjustment. Even with the front seats pushed back to the maximum, there is enough leg space for the rear passengers.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine performance is good. I have been driving the car since November 2015 and completed about 3900 KMs. the overall mileage given by the car is around 13 with mileage on the highways reaching upto 21 Kmpl. Gears are smooth and the engine is quiet.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride is the best in the class. You will glide over bumps. Bad roads do not pose eve the slightest problem for the car. The suspension is set very nicely to give maximum comfort to the passengers.

I m very much fond of cars. Whilst buying I preferred used car since I was buying a car first time. So I wasn't confident. But later on my better half convinced me to go for new one only. Hence I went through many details of various cars. It was during period Aug 2015. Even I went through details of newly going to launch car Maruti Suzuki Baleno. But since it was available only through Nexa channel only. There was no any Nexa outlet nearby my place. Even though I went to Pune and booked it with token amount. The executive at showroom said my selected model of Baleno will be available after 8 months. I was in hurry in buying the car. I couldn't wait for such long time. Then next choice was my Zest. The very next moment I decided to go with it. I selected platinum silver color. It was not available in ready stock but dealer assured me to make it. Within 2 days the car was ready to arrive at my doorstep. The manager was very prompt and tried very hard to make all documentation and other formalities so quick that I was really impressed. Now my car was ready to drive on road with registration no of my choice. It was time to drive testing my abilities and my experience was very satisfying. I really liked my choice of selecting this car. Only thing is the car midel Tata Zest 90PS XM is now discontinued by Tata. Now only 75PS model is available. I can say my driving debut with this car was very successful. I enjoy driving this car and I think I would have missed this enjoyment if I would have selected any other car. Even cost wise I got all latest features available at that time such as ABS and EBD compared to other cars. Even max mileage I attained in this car is 27.4 kmpl. Services at workshop are also satisfying.

For me specially TATA painted black colour at company and handed overed me the elegance felt riding, people asked isit Audi? 2year warranty gives free hand for new owner. My Zest is fully automatic so not needed any extra fixings or attachments. the great car for less money.
