Tata Motors lost much of its reputation before the company came out with the Tiago. The small hatchback served as an 11th hour Samaritan for the company, bringing back a lot of customers with its appeal and features. It came out back in 2016 and set a standard for the cars in that segment. It revolutionized the way that Tata Motors produced the upcoming generation of cars and SUVs. They changed the way that the interiors look and feel and brought it to the rest of their cars as well. Tata introduced a lot of features within a low price range. It is a true value for money even after almost two years of its launch.
This entry-level hatchback squirmed its way into the market, competing with the likes of Hyundai Grand i10, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Alto K10 and the Ford Figo. There were a lot of improvements made in this car which made sure that the company improved the sales of their products drastically. Despite the Tiago being a hatchback, it has a lot of interior space. There are ample legroom and enough headroom for three people to sit comfortably in the back. There are a lot of features that are offered on this small car which are absent from other cars in the segment.
In a price segment of entry-level hatchbacks, the Tata Tiago is offering features that are seen on some of the more premium cars. The price of the car is ranged between Rs 3.35 lakh for the lowest variant and Rs 5.99 lakh on the top variant. With a mileage of up to 27 kmpl, the Tiago is quite friendly on the pocket when running. There is an option for both automatic and manual transmission on the car. The 1.2-liter petrol engine produces 85 hp of power and 114 Nm of peak torque while the 1.05-liter diesel engine gives out 70 hp of power and 140 Nm of peak torque. The petrol variant has an option for an automatic or manual transmission while the diesel variant gets only the manual transmission.
Multiple driving modes are offered on the car which makes the ride even more indulging. The Eco mode subdues the car to an extent that the mileage of the car is improved while the City mode allows the car to have maximum performance available at hand. This is the only car to offer a diesel engine in the segment while being the one with the most powerful engine in the segment.
The Tiago is the most well-equipped car in the segment. There is an offering of dual airbags in the front, ABS with EBD, corner stability control, front fog lamps, alloy wheels, rear defogger with wiper, tilt-adjustable steering, an 8-speaker sound system developed by Harman Kardon, manual air conditioning controls, all four power windows, day/night Inside Rear View Mirror, cooled gearbox, and Electrically Adjustable Outside Rear View Mirrors. The model with the petrol engine coupled with an automatic transmission also gets two additional features, the creep mode and the Sports mode.
