Check out Tata Motors' new hatchback - Tiago
However, with only minor changes over the years, the design has fallen into the 'outdated' zone.
That very well could change with Tata Motor's upcoming hatchback Tiago. The complete look revealed by the automaker is promising.
The company unveiled the car to the media in December first week.
It is expected to be priced between Rs 3.59 lakh - Rs 5.59 lakh, and is aimed at first-time car buyers.
The petrol engine will have maximum power at 85 PS @ 6000 RPM, and torque at 114 Nm @ 3500 RPM.
While the diesel one will give maximum power of 70 PS @ 4000 RPM, and torque at 140 Nm @ 1800-3000 RPM.
It has a ground clearance of 170 mm with 14" (unladen), with a fuel tank capacity of 35 litres.
It features 14" alloy wheels.
Tata Tiago comes equipped with central locking (with remote) system, speed sensing auto door lock, clutch lock, inside rear view day and night mirror, and immobilizer.
For driver assistance, it has remote key operated head-lamps, fog lamps, turning indicators on ORVM, and rear defogger.
2. Advanced Dual Path Suspension and 9th generation ABS with EBD and Corner Stability Control for a safe and smooth ride.
3. EPAS with Active Return Function ensures 95% return ability for easy driving.
4. Gear shift Indicator for comfortable driving.
2. First in class Smart phone enabled Turn-By-Turn Navigation app.
3. First in Segment Juke Car app
4. User configurable vehicle settings provide personal touch
The gene is passed on to Tiago as well, albeit with notable changes, especially the lower lip of the grill that seems it is merging in to the headlight.
Global design inputs from Pune, UK and Italy studios have contributed to the design language.
Tiago is the third product under Tata Motor's HorizonNext initiative after Tata Zest and Tata Bolt.
Later on the car, with its original name Zica, was teased in a TVC featuring Lionel Messi - Tata Motors' global brand ambassador.
However, owing to outbreak of Zica virus, the name was changed again to Tiago
In future, Tata Motors is also expected to launch a compact sedan based on Tiago.
