Better specced and safer than most the i10/picanto's. Should sell very well if it comes here
Doubt it, "sell well" that is.
The Bolt is a very attractive & well priced option here & pulls in sub 20 units a month at times!
The Tata nameplate in cars is not particularly strong locally & folks are brand snobs.
I also want one!!! I really like the look of the Tiago. It is much nicer than the Bolt ...... even though I still love my Bolt![]()

The Tiago NRG is slightly longer, wider and taller than the standard Tiago. It measures 3793 mm in length, 1,665 mm in width and 1,587 mm in height. The wheelbase (2,400 mm) is identical to the hatchback but the ground clearance has increased to 180 mm.

Images revealed through a leaked product briefing document suggest that the Tiago NRG will get a black body kit featuring dual-tone bumpers with integrated silver scuff plates, side skirts and black trim around the wheel arches.
The front grille along with the roof, ORVMs and the B-pillar have been blacked out. It also has black roof rails and a roof spoiler.
The tail gate has a thick black trim with the Tiago badge on the left and NRG logo on the right. The car comes fitted with smoked headlamps and rides on 4-spoke 14-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
The interior looks similar to the Tiago except for the orange and silver inserts. It has a 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel as well as a twin-pod instrument cluster with silver surrounds and an MID in the centre.
The seats have fixed headrests and are wrapped in grey fabric upholstery with orange highlights. It comes with a 6-way adjustable driver seat with height adjustment.
The dashboard houses a cooled glove box and a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, which is connected to an 8-speaker Harman audio system.

The Tiago NRG will be available in both petrol and diesel versions. The 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine makes 84 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 114 Nm of torque @ 3,500 rpm. The 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder diesel puts out 69 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 140 Nm @ 1,800-3,000 rpm.
Both engines will come mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and Corner Stability Control will be offered as standard.
The Tiago NRG will be available in 3 dual-tone colour options - Malabar Silver, Canyon Orange and Fuji White.
It will compete with the Ford Freestyle in the Indian market.

Tata Motors has launched the Tiago facelift priced from Rs. 4.60 lakh (ex-showroom).
The refreshed Tiago comes with a new front grille finished in gloss black and a chrome strip. The car has redesigned headlamp clusters and a new front bumper with a reworked air dam and circular fog lamps. The car also gets black ORVMS as well as blacked-out B-pillars. It rides on dual-tone alloy wheels.
On the inside, the Tiago comes equipped with a touchscreen infotainment head-unit that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Other features include automatic climate control, power folding ORVMs, digital instrument cluster and drive modes.
The new Tiago is powered by a BS6-compliant 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that produces 85 BHP and 113 Nm. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT).
Tata no longer offers the 1.05-litre diesel engine in the Tiago.

Tata Motors has reached a new production milestone. The 300,000th Tiago has rolled off the assembly line in Sanand, Gujarat.
The Tiago was launched in 2016 and it became the highest selling Tata hatchback in the country in August 2018. The BS6 version was introduced earlier this year.
The Tiago is now offered a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that produces 85 BHP and 113 Nm. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT).
The car no longer gets a diesel engine option.
The updated Tiago gets a redesigned front fascia featuring a more sharper look based on Tata's Impact 2.0 design philosophy.
The car has also been awarded a 4-star safety rating by Global NCAP. It comes equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Corner Stability Control and Rear Parking Assist.
A video of the upcoming CNG variant of the Tata Tiago hatchback has surfaced online. The video shows the Tiago finished in red without any camouflage, sporting CNG stickers on its windshields.
The Tiago CNG is based on the Tiago facelift that was launched in January 2020. It has a tri-arrow grille with a thick chrome border running along the lower edge and under the headlamps and LED tail lights.
The Tiago CNG is expected to be mechanically identical to its petrol-powered sibling. The Tiago petrol is powered by a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that puts out 85 BHP and 113 Nm. These figures are expected to be slightly lower when the car runs on CNG.
The petrol version is offered with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed AMT. However, it is unclear which transmission options the CNG version will get.
The Tata Tiago diesel was discontinued in 2020 when the BS6 emission norms were introduced in India. Since then the car has been available with a petrol engine only.
The CNG version will be a good alternative for those who would find the price of petrol too high for their liking. In Delhi, CNG is priced at Rs. 43.40 per kg, while petrol costs Rs. 91.80 per litre.
The Tiago CNG is also expected to return better efficiency figures compared to the petrol, making it considerably cheaper to run.
On the downside, the Tiago CNG will have lesser boot space than the petrol due to the presence of a factory-fitted CNG tank.
Last week, Tata Motors announced that it was planning to launch a new "tough" and "sporty" model on August 4, 2021. As it turns out, it isn't the HBX crossover, but the updated Tiago NRG.
Tata Motors is relaunching the Tiago NRG in its updated avatar. The car will be based on the Tiago facelift. So expect to see a front fascia similar to that of the hatchback.
Just like the previous NRG, the new model will also feature a rugged body kit and roof rails.
On the inside, the Tiago NRG is expected to come equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, automatic climate control, electric folding ORVMs among other features.
Mechanically, the NRG will be identical to the Tiago hatchback. It will use the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that makes 85 BHP and 113 Nm. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT.

The Tata Tiago NRG has been launched in India at a price of between Rs. 6.57 - 7.09 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Powering the NRG is the same 1.2L, 3-cylinder petrol engine from the Tiago that puts out 84 BHP and 113 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and you get the option of an AMT automatic as well.
The NRG is available at Rs 6.57 lakh for the manual transmission variant and Rs. 7.09 lakh for the AMT variant (ex-showroom, Delhi prices). At these prices, the NRG variant is ~Rs 5,000-7,000 more expensive than the top-end variant of the regular Tiago.
Sadly though the NRG variant misses out on a couple of features from the top-end Tiago like alloy wheels and automatic temperature control.
Apart from this, the NRG is equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, corner stability control, reversing camera with parking sensors, follow me headlamps, push start button with keyless entry, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity with a 4-speaker & 4 tweeters sound system and a puncture repair kit (related news).
The body colour options include Fire Red (display vehicle), Cloudy Grey, Snow White and Foresta Green.
Tata Motors offers a standard warranty of just 2 years / 75,000 km with the Tiago NRG, so definitely opt for extending the warranty up to 5 years.
