2017 Tata Tiago AMT launched at Rs 5.39 lakh

After months of testing, Tata has finally launched the Tiago AMT in our market. Available only in a top-spec XZA trim, prices for the Tiago AMT start at Rs 5.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Tiago AMT comes with the same 1.2-litre petrol motor good for 85hp and 114Nm of torque. There is no diesel-powered model on offer. The Tiago's AMT gearbox is a five-speed unit which also offers Sport mode and ‘creep’ function. It also offers a City mode which is similar to its manual gearbox-equipped counterpart. Like most other AMT gearbox cars sold in India, drivers will also be able to change gears manually if required.

While available only in the top trim for now, Tata will offer the AMT gearbox in lower variants in the future.

The Maruti Celerio AMT is the only direct rival to the Tiago AMT in the segment and is available in a choice of trim levels, with the top trim also cheaper than the Tiago’s by around Rs 14,000.

The carmaker is also preparing to launch its all-new Tiago-based compact sedan, the Tigor, soon. The car will share its mechanicals with the Tiago and, thus, could also receive the AMT gearbox option.

Tata Tiago AMT prices:
• Rs 5.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)
• Rs 5.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai)
