2026 Tata Tiago facelift exterior and interior
Front end looks sharper and more upright
The 2026 Tiago was unveiled online a week prior to its launch, showing off comprehensive updates on the outside. Compared to the outgoing model, the 2026 Tiago’s reworked front end includes sharper headlamps, a slimmer and higher-set grille, and a redesigned bumper with a much larger air dam. All told, the updated Tiago’s fascia has a much more upright look.
Over to the side, the only changes are new 15-inch alloy wheel designs and black cladding on the wheel arches. The rear end, meanwhile, sees substantial revisions, specifically a new connected tail-lamp setup, a subtler roof spoiler, and a cleaner design for the bumper. Six colour options will be on offer for the 2026 Tiago, namely Daytona Grey, Pangong Pulse, Pristine White, Pure Grey, Sobo Surge, and Varanasi Vibrance.
Thoroughly redesigned dashboard layout
Inside, Tata has implemented major updates for the 2026 Tiago’s dashboard layout. The flowing design of the prior Tiago’s dash gives way to a flatter, more linear aesthetic that looks more modern, the instrument binnacle has been removed, the centre console and two-spoke steering wheel have been mildly updated, and the AMT variants get a new rotary gear selector.
As for features, the 2026 Tiago packs a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, a digital driver’s display, dual wireless charging pads, rear AC vents, a 4-speaker sound system, a cooled glovebox, cruise control, connected car tech, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, etc. Safety is taken care of via 6 airbags, ESC, parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat anchor points, ABS with EBD, and more.
