The Tata Tiago specifications describe a small, efficient city hatchback. Its 1.2 litre petrol produces 84.8 bhp and 113 Nm, smooth for town use. The CNG version drops to 74.4 bhp and 96.5 Nm but cuts the cost per kilometre. Neither engine is quick, yet both feel eager enough in traffic.
Gearboxes on the Tata Tiago specifications sheet cover a five speed manual and a five speed AMT. The petrol manual returns 20.09 kmpl, easing to 19.0 kmpl on the AMT. The CNG reads 26.49 km per kg as a manual and 28.06 km per kg with the AMT. CNG is the thriftiest choice for heavy users.
At 3813 mm long the Tiago is easy to place in traffic and park. The 2400 mm wheelbase gives four adults fair room for short trips. Ground clearance of 170 mm clears most city speed breakers cleanly, and the light kerb weight helps economy. The tight turning circle makes U-turns simple in narrow streets.
The 242 litre boot handles daily shopping, and the 35 litre tank keeps fills cheap. The cabin includes the comfort basics buyers expect at this price. A touchscreen arrives higher up, while controls stay simple and easy to learn for new drivers. The light kerb weight keeps the little engine feeling willing in town.
Safety covers the essentials, with dual airbags and ABS as standard. Higher trims add more features for extra peace of mind. To weigh running costs before buying, compare Tiago petrol against CNG economy and match it to your driving.
