Tata Motors has made live, dedicated websites for both Tata Zest compact sedan and Tata Bolt hatchback. Tata Motors unveiled the respective Manza and Vista successors right ahead of the Auto Expo 2014 in early February. The cars were also on display for the public at the Expo.

In terms of design, the Zest and the Bolt look alike, except for the added boot space that the sedan gets. The design is based on the old Vista, though it has been heavily modified. They now feature new headlight and fog lamp design, a new grille, new taillamp, bumpers & ORVMs. Even the profile of the cars have been revised slightly, all of which combined bring upon a significant improvement in how the new cars look.

Tata Zest is a compact sedan that's packed to the brim with premium features. Projector headlamps, touch screen infotainment display, satellite navigation, smartphone connectivity, speed sensitive power steering are few of the features you can expect in the new car that will go head-to-head against Hyundai Xcent & Honda Amaze.

In comparison, the Bolt loses a few premium features. The touch screen for instance.

Both the cars will come powered by an all new 1.2-litre, turbocharged, Revotron engine that generates 85PS power at 5000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque between 1750 rpm and 3000 rpm.

The diesel engine is the same old 1.3-litre, Quadrajet unit that will develop 90PS power at 4000 rpm and 200 Nm between 1750 and 3000 rpm in the Zest, and 75 PS power and 190 Nm of torque in the hatchback.

For the first time, these cars will offer the option of drive mode selection where you can select among cruise, eco and sports modes.

Automated Manual Transmission with the diesel engine for the Zest is another thing to look forward to.
