This is pleasantly surprising. I am from England, and a car like this, priced well would do very well over here and in Europe. I would certainly buy an Indian built car over a Chinese built one. This actually looks decent quality for the price.
its gonna be launched in the U.K and Europe soon,
Oh yes, just seen on autocar UK. It's a Fiat derived diesel, ZF derived power steering system so actually quite mechanically sophisticated. Put it this way, and I mean this in the nicest way, if the car is tough enough for India conditions, it's tough enough for anywhere. Like I said, I would rather drive this than a Chinese death trap.
Oliver Newell Yes, it would be good for the plain tarmac rather than the hell-bent roads that we have got ! You got to have a Hummer in India!
may god protect you in an accident xD
If you have seen the autocar crash test of the tata nano, the structure held up incredibly well. The Indians are not Chinese, and care slightly more for human life than they do. This car uses ZF technology such as the steering and Chrysler Fiat engines. I still think it looks a wonderful little car, would not look out of place in Europe.
7 years and still going good
Zest ❤️
It has been an year since the day I bought this car. It's zest XM 1.2 revtron . I was a little afraid while chosing this car as it was a new attempt by Tata . But this car has totally won my heart and I am happy that I chose this car. This car is really good to drive and way more comfortable than my previous car (dzire). Interiors are good as you saw in the video. Connectivity in this infotainment system is a classy feature . we've got Bluetooth, USB, aux and standard FM and AM options. Nicely laid out interiors. Comfortable and enjoyable ride. No other car could have made me happier . Thank You
- A proud Zest Owner 😉
A big leap of improvement as far as Tata cars are concerned.
Respect to Sir Ratan Tata
Not only Ratan Tata deserves it. But the entire team of 6000 Engineers,designers, labour force everyone deserves the equal respect for taking tata motors ahead.
My 7 years experience with Tata Ingico CS is quite good and while looking for a change with many like Amaze, Xcent etc... I am getting a new option to go to Zest Diesel AMT, the one i am looking forward.... Good job Tata..
I love the brand Tata,this is one of my favorite car.
zest truly has aggressive looks...ample space..high stance.. peppier diesel motor..best in - class features. I drive quadrajet vx vista with the same powerful engine but I am in love with zest . I like it even more than I like bolt
Nice review.I am driving a petrol ZEST for the last one year.I almost agree with the reviewer,s version.This is probably the best car in the segment.Given the provision of much better space than its competitors,the car consuming marginally more fuel is no problem.Good Car.Only Ford Aspire can compete.
Shovon Mukherjee what about its maintenance? is it too expensive?
Design is very good from tata.. I love this. as Indian I would like to buy this car rather than buying other cars.
No mention of it's 4 Star NCAP rating? For me that's the real selling point, with how unsafe Indian roads are zest feels just right in the price and safety features.
This is a 4 year old video.
ZEST LOOKS WELL PROVIDED WITH MOST USER FRIENDLY FEATURES .L K CHOPRA
This car was best in segment when launched...... They never got the response they deserved
Tata motors is back with a bang,
Tata zest will now bring tata motors back in the segment which tata motors originally created=compact sedan segment (indigo ecs),......
TATA all products I like and thank you to Respected, Sri Ratan TATA sir
Quite impressive at first sight... as far as other Tata cars are concerned, esp in terms of exteriors, trims, & gaps... really is a quite huge leap fwd... hope these pre-reviews will remain consistent post market launch.. & hope Tatas will revamp the after-sales service as well... all d best ... Zest :)
This car Made tata comeback in market
i wish AUTOCAR wil come up with safest cars in india under 10lakh ...............video for common man
If the voice assist can be improved with a software upgrade, it will be great...
The car looks absolutely stunning on road, I have seen it. It deserves all the hype that has been built around it
hit hai jee car pakka... Desire and Amaze beware Zest is coming...
Thanks for 1080p. Finally.
Superb car... excellent work by tata!!!
Wow!!! Excellent Job TATA
Personally as an Indian i have always patronised Indian cars. But time and again they have let me down. The engines don't last beyond one lacks or so.
Tata need to improve on this. Have the mahindra xuv which is nothing more than a heap of complaints. My brother in law has innova and he has not had even a single minor snag the last 5 years.
So indians and chinese are still working at superficial levels even with something so technically simple as a car, while the japanese and germans have done the real engineering. Their cars are expensive but reliable.
Agree about the Japanese reliability esp. Toyota. Their engines are like bulletproof. Coming to the Germans, yes, their engineering is great, but their reliability is pathetic (e.g DSG). Their cars have high failure rates here in India. Even their expensive 30L+ models have high rates of failure of various components.
Japanese and German reliability are like polar opposites here in India. The arrogant and poor after sales support of the Germans add salt to the injury.
bellicromanx
Germans has the best reliability in the world now........What are u talking about man......I have seen people own German cars more than 10 years........Off course these cars were expensive but super reliable........These chrome lines,fit n finish,alloy wheels, all are German innovations.......
Atul Goku German innovations, engineering etc. are great no doubt. Many of the German cars are reliable. But there are also many others that are pretty unreliable as well. German cars are becoming increasingly unreliable these days, at lease they are far from what can be called as having the best reliabilty. It's the Japanese whose cars are known for the best reliability almost worldwide. Many surveys have shown the same outcome. Dig some stuff through the internet and you'll know how German reliability stands these days.
Guys lets not get too deep into this. The point is we need reliable products, and we need to get this message to the guys involved.
I hope the fiat tie up over the last few years will reflect on this product.

ZEST IS LIKE HEART
Very good review. Greetings from Poland!!!
Renuka Kriplanni is awesome!
NICE!!!
.þ.
The Diesel AMT mid-variant could spell trouble for DZire VDI and Amaze S. I would trade 2~4 kmpl of mileage (compared to Amaze) for Manza-like cabin-space any day.
Really not bad for a budget car!
Removing "Indica" batch before the model name is the best move, Tata has taken in to account. The interiors and exterior dynamics are very well done by Tata even though it carries some of the Vista DNA. Very well done by Tata Engineers, I hope this car will take Tata to next levels.
Hey "AUTOCAR" guys does Zest Diesel-Manual variant also comes with three driving modes or its just petrol variant.
Which car is best to buy in Petrol version now?
Should I buy used tata zest in 2020?
how is it's average in all the modes?
My first car❤❤❤
i was waiting for this car review..atleast got the first drive review..
They should improve the touchscreen, it looks washed out and Laggy. Tata should seriously consider putting android auto os on their cars with a decent processing power to avoid lag.
Respected mam, I like ur anchoring so much.
Could have really done with taller ride height and smaller wheels
Maam im going for a comp sedan.
I am confused between tata zest and ford aspire.
My daily travel as 30km and weekend trips to ghat section.
Please suggest me one
Shatadru Moulik u may go for Tata zest... but it's been becoming dated because of newly launched tigor and if u need driver's car then Ford aspire is the best choice and it's also gets powerful engine when compared to tigor's diesel engine 68bhp..
this is how car reviews shoulf be like.
Ha After a long time a Gud & I may say better car from Tata
Please do a comparison of zest xcent and aspire
A good handling car from TATA? NICE!!!
I have one question... The diesel engine comes with Automatic (AMT) only or it comes with normal 5 speed Manual engine as well.. ?
Hi Ratnakar, The Zest will have a diesel manual as well.
tata focuses mainly on basic issues...but here they changed the game. they could've decreased features like voice navigation nd cud have added rear ac...
अगर tata
zest का नया facelift इम्पैक्ट desigin language पर same interiar ओऱ engine effiecency पर तो सही मायने में ये car dhoom मचा कर रख देगी।
The boot is so short because of India's 4 meter limit? ...or they just wanted a weird exterior for a good looking cockpit?
How is the cabin noise as compared to tata tigor?
No one does a review better than Autocar. In other reviews, it has been said that in 1.2 petrol engine, when we put in sports mode there is a surge of power. Is this not really noticeable and not much different from default city mode? I m live in a hilly place and planning to get a car under 7 lakhs,and all I m looking for is performance, power and driving dynamics, could you suggest a good car besides swift as I own one?
nice looking car
Good sedan
Does it has power folding mirrors ?
Interiors look better than exteriors.
Superb car ................................................
I like you Kirpalani the way you deliver the review
lado
New face of Tata
Watching it in 2024..
why u always talks about unreasonable disadvantages about tata cars
A Hyundai i20 Asta 2012 2 nd Gen Is There For 3.5 Lakhs And Tata Zest petrol xt 2015 Is There For 4 Lakhs Which Car Should I Purchase. i'm Totally Confusef With This. plz Help Me Out
Your voise is lovly ❤❤
Decent car
Renu maam urs the final review
Diesel AMT upshifts 'early' at 3500 rpm?
Early is 2000 rpm for a diesel. 3500 is really pushing it.
good review. Tata cars had bad designs. But now it seems they have turbo charged their designs.
Which place in Goa u shoot?
Just the old Indiga car model of 2002 with a headlight and sidelight redrawn.
Whenever any Indian brand launch a new car it only change "headlight and the sidelight"!!
All the cars look like a box, very tall.
Can't they build something different so that it can compete in the international market when it comes to design?
tata motor ...following hindustan motor way ....that thing what they call car
can't compete other manufacture
woooo tata great work
nice car
Huge steering wheel logo....y?
Agree like said it's not a game changer, and also I am not impressed with the styling of the car it's kind a mismatch.
Tata zest in also should flat roof.this is most of disadvantage.if tata changed flat roof than tata car is best looking
Nice impressive new car! But a bit concerned about the petrol revotron motor being quoted as under powered and the AMT options not impressive. I guess TATA worked overtime on this engine.
Why is the video quality poor in here Autocar?
I think you need to check video settings on your RUclips player. This video is available in 1080p & 720p which is about as high as it goes. Thanks for the comment.
Tigor is best in the segment car
But in xm are same features
Mere pe iska xm model he
this is simply low cost vehicle
Block all
n
TATA, in small car segment is not a brand of quality yet.
Along Jamir For more Quality switch to JAGUAR that too made by TATA,if you are ready to to spend money..lol
These car are just for local use..I do agree things like touch screen is not up to mark...but still.. :)
+mitacsc007 SOMEONE GOT LOLLED OUT
it looks hideous! A car designed by a committee... bits bolted on everywhere. Bland and tacky. Zero to look at. I'd rather ride a bike than sit between the wheel of something as awful as that.
Better be look at your self first...
inside a little bit ugly... the front look weird, the back is ok.. overall... hmm, I'm not sure.. because nothing much original come from tata, most design are refereng by top car manufacture.. except tata small.. that the only unique car Id see from india and represent them culture
dont know what's wrong with tata cars......their exterior design is worst in looks. their all cars are worst looking. and again the zest front is same like indica. and cabin is round like ambassador. why the hell they dont change the shape of their cars....why they cant make it look sexy like verna fluidic.
car doesnt appeal................
Ugly and bland I am sorry to say .... Come On Tata for god sake !!
Tata motors is back with a bang,
Tata zest will now bring tata motors back in the segment which tata motors originally created=compact sedan segment (indigo ecs),......
Does it has power folding mirrors ?
