Summary
Tata Tiago has 17 versions available in India from which 9 are petrol and 8 are diesel cars. Tata Tiago comes in 6 colours, namely, Berry Red, Espresso Brown, Pearlescent White, Platinum Silver, Striker Blue, Sunburst Orange.
The Tiago is Tata’s latest entry into the compact car segment. The new phase of Tata Motors began with the launch of the Zest where the Indian manufacturer has attempted to revamp the Tata image as a more modern and vibrant car maker.
The Tata Tiago is available in five trims – the XB, XE, XM, XT and the XZ. While the XE, XM, XT have been around in the Zest and the Bolt, the XB ( base) and the XZ ( top-spec) variants are new. You can also opt for the safety package for as much as just Rs 18, 000 over the XE, XM and XT trims. The Tiago is available in six colours – Sunburnt Orange, Pearlescent White, Expresso Brown, Striker Blue, Platinum Silver and Berry Red.
The Tiago offers a well-engineered, modern day package to the Indian buyers in the compact car segment.
Mileage
According to the ARAI figures, the petrol Revotron engine is expected to return 23.84kmpl while the diesel Revotorq engine has been certified to give 27.28kmpl.
Interiors
The Tiago interior is the best till date by the Indian manufacturer. Tata cabins have always been roomy but now it will get a touch of good quality and build along with equipment. The top end XZ comes with the ConnectNext infotainment system and gets four tweeters along with four speakers. Height adjustable seats with adjustable headrests are offered as an option from the XE trim. Driver footrest, folding rear seat, tinted glasses and internally adjustable wing mirrors are standard across the range.
Exteriors
The Tiago hatchback follows Tata’s HorizonNext design language with a wide mesh grille and swept back headlamps that resemble the Tata family face seen in the Bolt and the Zest. Tata has done really well by making the Tiago look distinctly different than the Indica while retaining its heritage. The tail is designed for modern and fresh looks with horizontal tail lamps. Body coloured bumpers are standard on the Tiago and so is the rear spoiler. Alloy wheels, wing mirrors with turn indicators, rear wash and wipe function are all available only on the top spec XZ variant.
Engine & Performance
The Tiago gets the 1.2-litre three cylinder Revotron engine that develops 84bhp of power at 6000rpm and 114Nm of torque. The 1.05-litre turbocharged diesel mill churns out 70bhp of power and 140Nm of torque from 1800rpm. Both the engines power the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Driving modes – Eco and City are available on both the engines. Tata will certainly offer the Tiago with an AMT gearbox in near future.
