Tata Tiago All-Rounder Car at Just ₹4.77 Lakh
Indian car buyers tend to prefer a low-cost vehicle that has great features, is safe, has comfortable interiors and has low running costs. It isn't easy to get all these qualities in a budget-friendly hatchback. But Tata Motors has brought a new look to its best-selling hatchback, and an all-new interior, along with some new options.
The Tata Tiago facelift is priced at an attractive entry-level of ₹4.77 lakh (ex-showroom) in the affordable hatchback segment. The car comes with petrol and CNG engine options, and manual and AMT transmission options.
It's not just a minor facelift to the Tiago, but also a significant upgrade that gives drivers a more comfortable car with enhanced safety features. CarWale dubs the 2026 version as a major generation update, with exterior and interior modifications to the car, while keeping the same 1.2-litre engine.
New Tata Tiago Facelift Design
- The new model has a completely revamped outer appearance of the hatchback that makes it look fresh and modern. New narrower grille, new LED headlamps with integrated DRL and new bumpers.
- The back end has also been upgraded with new bumpers and LED tail lamps. The overall dimensions are pretty much the same, keeping the Tiago compact hatchback size.
- The petrol variants are fitted with fog lamps; the CNG variants are not. The higher variants of the petrol get new 15-inch alloy wheels, while the CNG variants stick with 14-inch wheels.
- The new Tiago comes in six colours – Varanasi Vibrance, SoBo Surge, Pangong Pulse, Pure Grey, Daytona Grey and Pristine White.
The interior is premium and comes with new features
The most significant change is on the inside of the cabin. Tata has completely revamped the dashboard and introduced a more modern look with a dual-screen setup and a two-spoke steering wheel.
The digital instrument cluster and large touchscreen infotainment display are new features for the car in higher variants. The cabin is also enhanced with additional convenience features like rear AC vents and Type-C charging ports.
One of the nifty features is the dual wireless charging base, where two smartphones can be powered wirelessly. This can be helpful for families with multiple individuals needing to charge their cell phones on a trip.
Parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces can be easier too with the new Tiago's 360-degree surround-view system with HD cameras on higher variants.
6 Airbags and Strong Safety Package
The upgraded Tiago stands out for its safety features. The car is equipped with six airbags, and other safety features include ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control and reverse parking sensors.
Other electronic safety systems are also installed on compatible variants of the car, such as a blind-spot monitor. The 360-degree camera further improves visibility while parking.
The six airbags, digital instrument cluster and LED tail-lamps, plus ABS with EBD, are no exception for the base Smart, according to CarWale's variant information.
This makes the Tiago an attractive choice for those looking for an affordable vehicle that doesn't sacrifice too many of the safety features.
It also offers a choice of Petrol/CNG engines
The new Tiago still features the 1.2-litre Revotron petrol motor. The petrol version has a power of approximately 85 hp and a torque of approximately 113 Nm, while the CNG version has a power of approximately 74 hp and a torque of approximately 96 Nm.
Both petrol and CNG versions are available with a 5-speed manual transmission. AMT is also available, even on the CNG powertrain.
One of the highlights in the new Tiago is the CNG AMT option. It provides car buyers with the option of lower running costs of the CNG and the convenience of an automatic transmission.
Tata Tiago CNG Price
The Tiago CNG is also in the lineup for buyers seeking fuel-efficient vehicles. Currently, CarWale is offering the price of the Tiago CNG starting from approximately ₹5.87 lakh, which further rises as per the variant and transmission.
The CNG model features a twin-cylinder arrangement, making better use of the boot space available than a traditional single-cylinder set-up, according to Tata.
Manual and AMT are both available with the CNG range. The CNG AMT version also features paddle shifters, which provide additional control of gear changes when needed.
