Is the Tata Tiago a good car to own?

Autocar India

That really depends on what your priorities are, so it's hard to say conclusively. The Tata Tiago delivers a very good ride, is well-equipped with a superb-sounding audio system. On the safety front, it performs well and has a strong crash-test rating. However, the engine of this Tata car isn't exciting to drive, nor is it as fuel-efficient as its competitors.

I want to buy a new car and have shortlisted the Tata Tiago CNG AMT and the Hyundai Exter CNG Manual. My primary requirements are fuel efficiency and driving comfort. I also considered the Tata Tiago EV, but I am somewhat apprehensive about buying an EV due to range anxiety and the relatively limited driving range. I do not have the budget for higher-range EVs. My usage will be predominantly in the city, with an expected daily running of around 30-40 km. I would appreciate your suggestions on which option would be the better choice for my needs.

If you can arrange for home charging, the Tiago EV is an excellent pick. It is very user-friendly, and its driving dynamics are very sorted. Expect around 200km on a single charge with the 24kWh battery version, and around 150-160km with the smaller battery version, so with 30-40km daily usage, you will barely need to charge the vehicle twice or thrice a week. However, in the absence of home charging, we'd recommend you to opt for the Exter instead, simply for its smoother and refined engine, lighter controls, and higher seating. Sure, the Tiago CNG is likely to be more efficient, but the Exter CNG doesn't fall behind. Expect the Exter CNG to return around 22km/kg in the city and 30km/kg on the highway.

I want to purchase my first car, and it will be the very first car in our family of five. My daily usage will be mostly in city traffic, with occasional highway trips. As I am a new driver, I am confused between the new Tata Tiago 2026, as its interior looks very refreshing, and the Tata Punch. My budget is around Rs 8.5 lakh, but I would like a feature-packed vehicle.

The Tata Punch would be the recommendation here. As your family's first car, it offers a lot more versatility than the Tiago. The higher seating position gives new drivers better visibility in traffic, the cabin feels more spacious for a family of five, and the extra ground clearance is useful on broken roads and speed breakers. It is also a more comfortable car for occasional highway trips.The Tiago is still a very good hatchback, and the updated interior does make it feel fresher than before. It is easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces and offers excellent value for money. However, with a family of five, it can feel a little cramped, especially on longer journeys.The only thing to keep in mind is that a fully loaded Punch may stretch beyond your Rs 8.5 lakh budget. Instead of chasing the top-spec variant, it would be wiser to buy a mid-spec Punch that covers the essentials and gives you the benefits of the larger vehicle.

I am confused between Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R CNG, Tata Tiago CNG, Tata Punch CNG and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG. Which one would be the better choice, and why?

Autocar India

Pick the Tata Punch CNG; it keeps CNG running costs low while giving you usable boot space with its dual CNG cylinder setup that sits neatly below the boot floor and this frees more luggage room than the others. The Punch CNG also uses a single ECU for the petrol and CNG fuel system, thus unlike other CNG cars which default start in petrol mode, the CNG Punch starts directly on CNG eliminating the need to manually switch over. The 5-star crash rating makes it a reassuring choice here for a first car. It is easy to drive in traffic, rides well on broken roads, and won’t feel out of depth on the odd highway run. If you find the purchase cost a bit higher you can also opt for the Tata Tiago CNG which also has the dual CNG tank setup.

I want to buy an SUV, and my budget is around 20 lakh. I have seen the MG Hector, the Mahindra XUV and the Tharr Rox. Which car should I buy, and given the current scenarios on the govt policies, should I go for petrol or diesel?

Autocar India

Pick the Mahindra XUV 7XO. At around Rs. 20 lakh, it gives you the best mix of space, strong performance and safety, and it is far easier to live with every day than the Thar Roxx while being a better value than a low or mid Hector variant. You also get both petrol and diesel choices, so you can match it to your running.Fuel choice is simple. Go petrol if most of your use is in the city or your running is under about 1,200 km a month. It is quieter, has fewer policy worries, and resale stays safe even if some cities tighten diesel rules. Pick diesel only if you drive long highway distances often, want a longer tank range, or haul a full family with luggage regularly.The only real downside with the XUV 7XO is that the fanciest features push you beyond Rs. 20 lakh, and there may be a wait period. If you mainly want a rugged toy, the Thar Roxx is great, but for family life, the XUV 7XO fits better.

I am planning to purchase a new automatic car and am confused between the Honda Amaze ZX CVT and the Skoda Kylaq Signature Plus AT. My usage will be around 90% city driving, primarily for office commuting between Dwarka, Delhi and my office near IFFCO Chowk, Gurugram (approximately 25 km one way). However, I will not be driving daily, as I often use the Metro as well. The car will also be driven by my 69-year-old father, so ease of driving, comfort, visibility, ingress/egress, and reliability are important considerations. Our previous car was an Alto K10 Manual, so this will be our first automatic car and a significant upgrade. Considering my usage pattern, family profile and the fact that we intend to keep the car for a long period for around 10 years, which of these two would you recommend?

Based on your requirement, we would recommend the Honda Amaze ZX CVT over the Skoda Kylaq Signature+ AT. The reason is that your priorities are not outright performance or driving excitement. You are looking for a car that will spend 90% of its life in city traffic, will also be driven by your 69-year-old father, and is expected to stay with the family for around 10 years. In that context, Amaze's strengths line up perfectly with your requirements. The CVT is smoother than the Kylaq's torque converter automatic in stop-and-go traffic, visibility is excellent, the car is easy to place on the road, ingress and egress are straightforward, and Honda's long-term reliability record is hard to fault. Coming from an Alto K10, it will already feel like a substantial upgrade in comfort, refinement and features.The Kylaq Signature Plus AT is the more desirable car from an enthusiast's perspective. The 1.0 TSI turbo petrol has more punch, the higher seating position is nice, and the overall package feels more substantial. However, it is also a larger vehicle to manoeuvre, and while the automatic is good, it is not quite as seamless in everyday traffic as Honda's CVT.Another point in Amaze's favour is that the ZX variant gets Honda Sensing ADAS, which adds useful safety features without making the car complicated to operate. Since your father will also be driving it, that extra layer of safety is a nice bonus.

I am confused between buying Skoda Kylaq and Kia Seltos. Please suggest.

Buy the Kia Seltos. It is simply easier to live with for most buyers, thanks to a much wider service network and many more variant and powertrain choices, including good automatics across a wider price range. For daily city runs with the odd highway trip, the Seltos will feel like the more complete package and it has a more spacious and premium cabin. The Skoda Kylaq will suit you only if you really enjoy driving. It feels tighter and more confidence inspiring on the move, and the steering has more feel. If you plan long, frequent road trips and care more about how it drives than gadgets, that’s where the Kylaq shines. The flip side is fewer dealers and fewer variant choices.
