Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Tata Zest
- Expansive feature list: projector headlamps, daytime running lamps, 8-speaker audio system - the lot!
- Refined petrol and torquey diesel engines. Take your pick!
- Ample legroom and shoulder room for rear occupants. Boot space is a healthy 390-litres as well.
- Ride quality is among the best in its class. 170mm of ground clearance means you can be slightly careless on broken roads.
Toyota Platinum Etios
- Practical family sedan with adequate space to fit 5 adults.
- Standard safety kit (ISOFIX, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, 3-point seatbelts for all occupants)
- 592-litre boot is super accommodating. Makes weekend trips with the family a breeze.

Tata Zest
- Hard plastics used inside the cabin. Takes away from the premium experience.
- Lack of storage spaces in the interior
- The automatic variant lacks creep mode. Needs manual throttle inputs to get going.
Toyota Platinum Etios
- Budget-grade interior quality. Feels dated and lacks the feel-good factor you’d expect for the price.
- Missing features (no rear AC vents, automatic climate control or multi-information display).
