Which 2026 Tata Tiago variant should you consider buying?

Creative trim is the value-for-money pick

The Creative trim of the Tiago comes across as the value champion of the range, offering useful features such as a 360-degree camera, LED headlamps, a blind-spot monitor, a cooled glove box, auto-folding ORVMs, one-touch down for the driver-side window, rear seatback pockets and more. You also get to choose from all four powertrain configurations in the Creative trim.

Alternatively, buyers on a tighter budget can consider the Tiago Pure+, which is Rs 1 lakh more affordable than the Creative trim. It packs essential safety tech such as a rearview camera, traction control, hill-hold control, a TPMS, speed-sensing door locks and ESP, along with comfort and convenience features such as an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control and a 4-speaker sound system.

Poll of the month

What do you think about the push for ethanol blends even higher than E20 petrol?

Good move; it cuts dependence on crude oil imports
I support it as it’s a greener solution than pure petrol
I’ll accept it only if it’s cheaper than E20 petrol
I am concerned about damage to my vehicle
Not good; fuel efficiency will drop even further
