Without any second thoughts, my vote goes to Tata Zest. Sales and service is something they need to improve however when we are talking about the product as a whole, with the bulk of safety and other convenience features Zest offers across the variants, no compact sedan comes close to this new tata car. A perfect city car in my opinion. Good job Tata motors!
My choice would be-
1. Tata Zest
2. Hyundai Xcent
3. Maruti Dezire
4. Honda Amaze
5. Ford Figo Concept
6. Tata Indigo CS
1. Tata Zest
2. Hyundai Xcent
3. Maruti Dezire
4. Honda Amaze
5. Ford Figo Concept
6. Tata Indigo CS
Waited for this long for the prices of Zest now it is a real VFM for its features and today voted for Zest .
I would have swapped 2 and 3 in PANKAJDUDE's list. Excent looks plane and fell too toyish if looked from the bang back of the car. I didn't like it at all!

Its Fiat's Multijet..![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
But its a fact that the 90 PS VGT unit has been reworked so that the initial turbo lag is not very irritating as before.
Now why this A.S.S screw things whenever Tata comes out with a good product![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")

yes now reworked on tubro engine in this engine now tata using electrinically(for spinning the turbo blades) controlled turbo charging is using to minimize the turbo lag

We have to wait and see the life span of this new turbo unit at present tata using this kind of hybrid turbo units in their line up like tata aria,tata movus, upcoming undated safari storme
Aren't they two different engines. MJD and VariCOR??![[confused]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Confused.gif "Confused [confused]")
Tata has stated that 50kg weight reduction in the MJD units.This may have a positive impact..!!![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
Tata has stated that 50kg weight reduction in the MJD units.This may have a positive impact..!!

few months back cartoq.com posted about hybrid turbocharger in refreshed aria see below
Tata Motors’ flagship product, the Aria crossover. Faced with Aria sales that simply refuse to take off, Tata Motors is prepping up a new weapon in its arsenal, the Aria with a hybrid turbocharger. The Aria with the hybrid turbocharger is said to be launch ready and Tata Motors has plans of bringing the new version of the imposing crossover to the market in the next few months. CarToq sources maintain that the Aria Refresh should be on Indian roads in the first half of 2014.
The Aria crossover is powered by a 2.2 liter common rail diesel engine that outputs 138 Bhp-320 Nm. This engine features a variable geometry, vacuum suction turbocharger. Tata Motors will add an electric motor and supercharger into the equation. The electric motor will propel a supercharger, that will work in tandem with the exhaust gas driven turbocharger. By adding the supercharger driven by the electric motor, turbo lag will be minimized to a great extent, improving both driveability and throttle response significantly.
The electric motor that propels the supercharger will be actuated through the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU) at lower rpms when the turbo boost is low. So, the electric motor spins up the supercharger before the turbo charger begins spooling up, thus eliminating turbo lag (the time taken by the turbocharger to generate boost pressure). In a nutshell, the hybrid turbocharger mimics the function of a twin turbocharger unit that uses small and large turbochargers for low and high rpm turbo boost.
Launched in 2010, the all-wheel-drive Aria crossover was priced optimistically right from word go. The high price meant that the Aria never managed to get going at the hustings. Even cut price, rear wheel driven variants have done little to spur Aria sales. Amid such a scenario, the facelifted, hybrid turbo equipped variant of the Aria represents the next big hope for the flagship crossover from Tata Motors. Along with the major mechanical change, the Aria Crossover is also likely to get a refresh in the form of smoked headlamps and revised interiors.

This is about the 1.3MJD and not about the Revotron.
Revotron is based on the Xeta block and it is very much reliable. Now only a small turbo is added. Hence not much problematic scenario here. Jettasam, you are mistaken b/w QJDs and Revotrons.
Hybrid turbo charger in QJD/Revotron..!! Not at all.
That cartoq report was published way before launch. I don't think Aria 2014 uses this hybrid-turbo in any way..!!![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
