The Tata Tiago hatchback will be launched for the Indian market on April 6. This is the new entry-level hatchback from the Indian automaker and will replace the Tata Indica in its passenger vehicle lineup. It will be offered with both petrol and diesel engines and bookings have already begun with the token amount set at Rs 10,000.
The Tiago will be offered with one petrol and diesel engine. The former uses a 1.2-litre engine producing 84bhp and 114Nm of torque while the diesel is an all-new three-cylinder 1.0-litre unit developing 69bhp and 140Nm. Both the engine only get the option of a five-speed manual transmission sending power the front wheels.
Originally named the Zica, it was rechristened the Tiago just after the 2016 Auto Expo. It embodies Tata’s new IMPACT design philosophy and will later on also spawn a compact sedan currently codenamed Kite 5.
We expect the Tiago to be priced in the range of Rs 3.90 lakh to Rs 4.50 lakh and will compete with the like the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and the Chevrolet Beat.
