Tata Tiago launched at Rs 3.2 lakh

Team Evo India

Tata Motors has launched the Tiago compact hatchback at Rs 3.2 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. It takes on the Maruti Celerio and Hyundai Grand i10.


The Tiago as you will recollect was initially christened the Zica when we drove it in December 2015 with a launch planned for January 2016. But the Zica virus epidemic prompted Tata Motors to re-brand the car as it is the resurgent company’s first all new car and has the potential to do very high numbers.
Moving on to the car then, there are two engines on offer – a 1.2-litre, three cylinder motor from its Revotron series of engines and an all new 1.0-litre, three cylinder diesel. The petrol isn’t turbocharged and yet makes 84bhp and 114Nm of torque (the Bolt’s turbocharged 1.2 makes a mere 5bhp more in comparison) and this, along with the 1012kg Tiago makes it a peppy performer. The Diesel makes 69bhp and 139Nm of torque and feels. Quite peppy as well. The suspension is an independent, McPherson strut setup up front and a non-independent twist beam setup at the rear.


There’s a fair bit of kit offered on the top trim Tiago. It gets Tata’s new ConnectNext system that includes a superb eight speaker Harman audio system, Bluetooth connectivity and USB and aux ports. Tata has also included a smartphone enabled Turn-by-turn Navigation App, Google Maps does a better job. There’s quite a bit of safety kit as well – there’s ABS, EBD and two airbags.
