Though produced by Tata Motors as a revised strategy for its new products, it has not been able to endear itself to the consumers despite very positive reviews. The sedan has however been able to garner a sale of 1500 to 2000 units in the past few months. However, it has not been able to garner the kind of success of its counterparts like Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, Hyundai Xcent, and Honda Amaze, etc. The performance, ease of handling and value it was offering for money was stunning. However, the steep price as compared to its compatriots was a dampener.

The sedan is becoming popular with the consumers and the latest entry to this section id Volkswagen which has recently launched its Amos, which also boasts a Diesel engine and DSG gearbox this festive season. Zest carries a price tag of Rs. 5.11 lakhs ex-showroom in Delhi.
