Tata Zest- another medium sedan model from Tata motors at a very reasonable price indicates that Tata doesn’t want to settle for anything other than the top spot, to rope in more customers. The Zest is pretty good and it has what it takes to dethrone the segment leader.
The car comes in many first in class features which will make the competitors sweat and force them to up their game, right from the state-off-the-art petrol engine to a system which can put cars 5 times the price to shame. Then there’s also an equipment list, attention to minute details, better driving and the list is endless. I am pretty sure that Tata Zest is bound to be a sure shot hit in the Indian market for common people.
It also seems that Tata engineers have done a stellar job, not only with aesthetics but on technology and mechanical grounds too. About this car, I feel that there aren’t any issues of headroom or knee room for tall people especially in the first row. The seats are also large and comfortable. There is sufficient thigh and back support in both. The Zest’s rear seat has more recline and this increases the comfort for the rear passengers as the Zest targets the chauffeur driven segment too.

All in all, it’s a wonder car for middle class people starting at a jaw-dropping price from 4.84 Lacs for petrol. Well I’ve a very good opinion for this car as it’s providing various features at a very decent cost which would obviously have other competitors scratching their head in a dilemma so as to what to do to compete with Tata Zest.
Really not a bad choice and I would rate it as 3.5 out of 5.
