EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NEW CARS THIS MONTH

low down on the company behind the automobile.
02 The TG RatingSimply translated: how good is the vehicle in
numbers? Out of say, 10?

Mumbai and Delhi. Accurate at the time of going to press.

real-world situations.

Tata ZestTatas taken its time, but it has now rolled out a
compact sedan that will make waves in the market
Tatas much-delayed compact sedan, the Zest, has finally arrived,

diesel automatic saloon you can buy in India.

Tata ZestTatas taken its time, but it has now rolled out a
compact sedan that will make waves in the market
Tatas much-delayed compact sedan, the Zest, has finally arrived,

but alloys are standard on even the base model! Now the cheapest
diesel automatic saloon you can buy in India.
