Tiago in Chennai: questions buyers ask
Why does a Chennai Tiago bill include ₹2,250 for road safety?
Tamil Nadu adds a flat ₹2,250 road safety tax to every new car registered in the state. It is charged once, on top of the road tax, and appears on the Tiago whatever variant you choose.
Is the Tiago EV road tax free in Chennai?
Yes, until 31 December 2027, under Tamil Nadu's current exemption for electric cars. The Tiago EV Smart (Medium Range) comes to about ₹7.29 lakh on-road, which undercuts the petrol Tiago Pure+ A at ₹7.69 lakh. Its rated range is 226 km per charge.
Is the Tiago Smart a good buy at its price?
Only as a basic city runabout. It has six airbags and rear parking sensors, but no touchscreen, no speakers and no stability control, and it rides on 13 inch wheels. The Tiago Pure+ fixes all of that.
Will the Tiago cope with Chennai's monsoon flooding?
Its 170 mm of ground clearance handles normal rain, but flooded streets in places like Velachery are too deep for any small car. Park on higher ground when heavy rain is forecast, and consider engine protection cover.
Does the Tiago have connected car features?
Only the Tiago Creative+ and Tiago Creative+ AMT, which come with iRA connectivity, along with a wireless charger and the only two tone paint in the range. No CNG Tiago gets them.
