Tata Tiago History
The Tata Tiago was unveiled as the replacement for the Tata Bolt in 2016. Tata meant to call the hatchback “Zica” because it was so zippy, but later changed the name due to the outbreak of the Zika virus.
Tata Motors introduced the Tiago EV in 2022, and it was soon recognised as one of India's most budget-friendly electric hatchbacks.
