Tata Tiago 1.2P XT

The Tata Tiago is a B-segment city hatchback powered by a 1.2 L naturally aspirated Revotron petrol engine and an optional factory-fitted iCNG system.

Its blend of modern styling, robust build quality, and affordable pricing makes it a strong contender against the Maruti Swift, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Citroën C3, and Maruti Celerio.

The Tiago price range spans Rs. 5.00–8.90 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi), offering both manual and 5-speed AMT options.

Key takeaways:

• Versatile powertrain line-up: petrol MT, petrol AMT, CNG MT, CNG AMT.

• Segment-best 4-star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant safety.

• Feature-rich cabin with Harman touchscreen, automatic climate controls, and dual-tone trims.

The Tiago’s wheelbase of 2,450 mm ensures respectable cabin space for four adults, while seating ergonomics cater to long drives without fatigue.

Steering-mounted controls, keyless entry, and push-button start come standard on higher trims, elevating the ownership experience. A 190 mm turning radius makes U-turns and tight parking spots hassle-free in dense city traffic.

Tata’s full-metal monocoque structure and 170 mm ground clearance also enable occasional gravel or speed-breaker excursions with confidence.

In comparison tests, the Tiago’s chassis tuning delivers a compliant ride, absorbing minor road imperfections without transferring harshness onto occupants.
