TATA is not going to stop with this and there are many bombings to be done in the market soon, and this will have a huge impact on the rivals, so, the market segment leaders BEWARE!!!
I drove TATA Tiago automatic and was enchanted by the performance. I went with the perception that the gearbox is supplied by Magneti Marelli and TATA's engineers would have done a decent job on it but NO. I was wrong and I thought i was quite stupid to have that perception even after i had driven TATA Tiago manual version.
Leaving behind the introduction part i would like to continue with the actual meat of the matter which is the performance. First of all TATA's have added a creeping function which effectively means that when you leave the brake pedal the car will move automatically, this was however not present in the ZEST.
Secondly what i felt was that there is a monitoring mechanism which sees the way you press the accelerator and it accordingly changes gears, which means that if you drive in a rough fashion and you are driving the automatic first time then the gear changing will be a bit slow as compared to the high expectation you might have but, not to worry the system takes care of this and after 1 kilometre you get what you want. This also applies to the drivers who drive slowly.
Now i come to the everbody's favourite the "Sports mode". This was the point i thought the car will no be able to pick up very fast but in turn will take load and produce more sound. But, i deeply regret my thinking and feel pity on my thinking. The time i pressed the pedal after a gap of 1-2 second the car rushed with all its power till 6000 rpm and i pushed back into the seat, it was a scary moment for me as there was a motor cycle in front of me which i was going to hit but thanks to good braking and the ABS.
Rest of the information includes the fact that this is available only in top model and in petrol.styling, power and spaciosengine displacement could have been more
