This AMT gearbox offers hassle free driving as it does not require a clutch pedal. The drive can change the gears either fully automatic or sequentially.
The Tata Zest will be offered in both petrol and diesel guise. The AMT model will get the 1.3-litre multi-jet engine that churns out a maximum power output of 90PS and 200Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to front wheels via a five-speed AMT gearbox. This compact sedan is equipped with EPAS with active return function and speed sensitive power steering developed by ZF. The Zest sedan is loaded with advanced features like Harman infotainment system with MapmyIndia navigation, 5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, smart voice recognition, advanced samartphone integration and many more.
