Tata Zest Sports Edition launched to celebrate 50,000 sales

Tata Motors has launched a Sports Edition of the Zest compact sedan, in order to celebrate 50,000 unit sales of the car. The Sports Edition is essentially a dealer-level accessory kit, which is being offered at an extra cost, on all variants of the Zest.

The Zest Sports Edition gets tri-colour body graphics on the doors, a red body kit and red ORVMs. Alloy wheels and rain visors are a part of the Special Edition package as well.

The company has also announced various offers on the Zest compact sedan. These include an EMI scheme of Rs. 3,999 per month, free insurance worth Rs. 33,000, an exchange bonus of Rs. 30,000, and various other benefits of up to Rs. 68,000.

There are no mechanical changes with the Zest Special Edition. It continues to be powered by a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine that develops 89 BHP and 140 Nm of torque, and a 1.3-litre, turbocharged diesel unit from Fiat that is available in two states of tune - 74 BHP and 89 BHP. A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard across the range, while the top-end 89 BHP diesel also gets an AMT unit.
