Tata Zest expert review

CarDekho Experts
On the whole, the Zest is a value-for-money offering which ticks all the essentials of being a well-rounded compact sedan.

Verdict

The Zest is spacious, well-equipped and lets one choose from a likeable turbo-petrol and a dependable diesel engine. The diesel-automatic combo is good to have, but we wish it was equipped with a creep mode as well. Other positives include the solid exterior build, and the stellar 8-speaker audio system.

On the whole, the Zest is a value-for-money offering which ticks all the essentials of being a well-rounded compact sedan.

Pros & Cons of Tata Zest

Things We Like

  • Expansive feature list: projector headlamps, daytime running lamps, 8-speaker audio system - the lot!
  • Refined petrol and torquey diesel engines. Take your pick!
  • Ample legroom and shoulder room for rear occupants. Boot space is a healthy 390-litres as well.

Things We Don't Like

  • Hard plastics used inside the cabin. Takes away from the premium experience.
  • Lack of storage spaces in the interior
  • The automatic variant lacks creep mode. Needs manual throttle inputs to get going.

    As I swapped keys with my colleague for the long term Tata Zest AMT about a month ago, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Our new office in Pune is a good 20km from my house and the drive is mostly through narrow, congested city roads.
