    Step inside and you will instantly notice a huge step up in cabin quality. The design and the quality on both the Zest and the Bolt are nothing like what we’ve seen on Tatas before. There is substantial improvement in fit and finish and the entirely new dashboard lends a fresh air of design to the cabin. The driver-oriented positioning of the vents and the centre console along with the use of piano black, chrome and silver really lift the ambience of the cabin, as does the white leather on the dashboard and the steering wheel. Of course, this is the same car that made it to the Auto Expo and the interiors of lesser variants may not be as plush. There are very few bits that resemble what was once on the Vista, like the headlight and wiper stalks, and the door pads. 

    Tata engineers have spent a lot of time optimising the side bolsters, the seat base bolsters and even the cushioning. The front seats offer excellent comfort and feel snug. Move to the rear seats and it is as comfortable – there’s good headroom, and with the scooped out rear of the front seats, there’s even more knee-room than before. Tata has also improved the rear seat angle and contours of the seat, finding the right balance between boot space and rear-seat comfort.

    It has a 360-litre boot, which is smaller than the Amaze’s 400 litres and it doesn’t offer space as efficiently either, since the suspension intrudes into the luggage space.
