Tiago Test Drive Car Bengaluru.jpg

The Tata Tiago is a city car made by Tata Motors in India since 2016. It is derived from the Tata Kite project.

The Tiago was previously announced as the Tata Zica, with "Zica" short for "zippy car", but it was changed because it sounded like the name of the Zika virus. Tiago, a common Portuguese masculine name, was picked from suggestions solicited online.

The Tata Tiago was born as the successor of the previous Tata Bolt, which was nothing but a heavy restyling of Tata Indica Vista. Like the Indica Vista, even the Bolt did not get the desired success and Tata began designing a completely new vehicle (Kite project) of a city car with 5-door body that could boost the sales of the brand in the Indian territory.


The base platform was always the Tata X1 chassis that also adopted the previous Indica and Bolt but was heavily modified and shortened because with the new car Tata Motors wanted to lower the list price as well as the production costs. Also the engines were all new and the old Fiat 1.2 FIRE and 1.3 Multijet unit adopted by the previous models were abandoned. With the Tiago la Tata brings to its debut the Revotron and Revotorq three-cylinders designed together with Austria's AVL, a family of modular propellers designed to equip the entire range of the Indian manufacturer.

The Tiago was 3.75 meters long, shorter than the old Tata Bolt, the body has 5 doors. From the Tiago has also been developed a sedan variant called Tata Tigor.

The engines are the 1.2-liter Revotron three-cylinder 12V petrol that delivers 85 horsepower and 114 Nm of maximum torque combined with a 5-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic, the diesel is a 1.1-liter Revotorq three-cylinder common rail 12V 70 horsepower delivering 140 Nm of maximum torque, combined with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Tiago is produced only with right hand drive in Tata Motors Sanand plant and is not expected to be imported in Europe.

In September 2018 Tata Motors launched the Tiago NRG in the Indian market, a crossover like trim with a 10 mm raised, raw plastic guards for the bumpers and sills, two-tone alloy wheels and a rear bumper shield. The Tiago NRG is sold with both 1.2 petrol and 1.05 diesel engines.

In October 2018 Tata launched the Tiago JTP, a sporty version Tiago with 1.2 litre Revotron Turbo engine with max output of 114 PS of power which is 29 PS more than all the other versions. It was tuned by JT Special Vehicles or JTSV, a joint venture between Tata Motors and Coimbatore-based Jayem Automotives. According to Tata, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h under 10 seconds. There are also design changes which includes revised front grille, new bumper at front and dual exhaust pipe at the rear.
