Comparo – Tata Zest vs Maruti Dzire vs Honda Amaze vs Hyundai Xcent

Tata launched the Zest compact sedan today with prices starting at INR 4.64 lakhs, ex-Showroom, New Delhi. Here’s how the Zest stacks up against rivals Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze and Hyundai Xcent.

Dimensionally, the Zest, Dzire and Xcent are equals here at 3,995 mm, while the Amaze is the shortest at 3,990 mm. It also results in the Honda having the shortest wheelbase at 2,405 mm, and the Zest boasts the longest in its class at 2,470 mm. The Zest is also the widest at 1,706 mm and tallest at 1,570 mm.

Tata Zest Petrol vs Rivals:

All cars come with a four-cylinder engine, but the Zest is the only car to get turbocharging, while the rest make do with natural aspiration and variable valve timing. This ensures in the Zest being the most powerful and torque-iest on paper at 90 PS and 140 Nm of torque. Sending power through a 5-speed manual transmission, the Zest petrol is not available with an automatic transmission unlike its competitors.

Efficiency wise, the Zest despite being turbocharged has the lowest efficiency at 17.6 km/l, whereas the Xcent and Dzire deliver a segment best 19.1 km/l. In terms of price, the Zest undercuts the Xcent by INR 2,000 for the base variant.


Tata Zest Diesel vs Rivals:

Save for the Xcent, all cars use a four-cylinder engine, and the Tata and Maruti in fact use the same engine, albeit in different states of tune. The Honda is the most powerful at 100 PS, and like the Tata, makes 200 Nm of torque. On paper, the Xcent is the least powerful with 72 PS and 180 Nm of torque. The base variant of the Zest diesel is available with the 75 PS engine tune exclusively.

While all cars come with a 5-speed manual transmission, the Zest diesel is also available with an automated manual transmission, giving it an edge over all compact and mid-size sedans (except the Verna). In terms of fuel efficiency, the Zest manages 23 km/l, which the lowest in the segment.

The fuel efficiency of the Zest AMT will be announced at a later date, Tata Motors told IndianAutosBlog.com.

When it comes to price, the base 75 PS Zest is dearer by INR 7,000 compared to the Xcent, the cheapest car of the lot. The base Zest with the 90 PS engine is a good INR 70,000 more than the base Xcent.

I somehow voted for the Honda Amaze but I like both Zest and amaze. Both are very good car although the Zest tops in the competition. Overally, I feel that Amaze has an overall package of all things that some Zest won't have. And one of them is "Peace of Mind" since it is a Honda.

For many people like my grandfather, they fight for a car with a big long drive. For them, the following:
  1. Safety
  2. Space
  3. Big boot
  4. Proper engine as there would be a lot of strain to it
  5. Good efficiency
  6. Happiness and peace of mind
  7. Good brand and service
And many more which I am forgetting while typing:biggrin:.

accept about space but remember TATA ZEST is safe car to drive and coming back to engines TATA have strong diesel engine peak torque is same as honda amaze and max power is just 10BHP lesser then amaze its not a big deal and about fuel efficiency both cars gives marginally same fuel economy ( because present TATA Manza average fuel efficiency is 16 to 18KMPL in city)

[*]Safety - well TATA cars are better known in India

[*]Space - 'More car per car' caption says all

[*]Big boot - just a 10 liters short

[*]Proper engine as there would be a lot of strain to it- Fiat's quadrajet is a world renowned engine.

[*]Good efficiency- again same

[*]Happiness and peace of mind - now a days work are having it with post 2012 cars

[*]Good brand and service - only thing lacking. With HORIZONNEXT they should prove it.

But do you get the real peace of mind of a honda with this TATA? And what about the service?

you forgot to add the biggest - 1500 cc of displacement and hence more linear power delivery and wider spread torque which makes driving easier.

BUT and a big but indeed(no pun intended) - My vote goes to Zest [clap]
What Tata has done is remarkable by every way. I am a sore Tata critic who never missed a chance to blast them on quality issues BUT this thing bowled me.. fantastic [clap]

The actual difference may sound just 10 bhp and some XX kgm on paper but the real difference lies here:
1.JPG

In Amaze you have 100 horses under your tap without having to rev the engine near its redline to 4000 rpm(seldom done in regular driving). In other you get peak power of 90 bhp, 75 bhp etc at 4000 rpm while in amaze you have 100 horses under tap at just 3500 rpm.

You get 10 horses more than Zest at 400 rpm lesser and adding icing to the cake is wider torque spread with near zero turbo lag. Amaze still don't get the beating by any of the said cars(Zest included) in terms of engine at least.

we accept that honda amaze diesel have really amazing power band but but the refinement level in NVH is really poor compare to tata's quadrajet engines
