As mentioned earlier, the exterior design of the facelifted Tiago ICE and Tiago EV has been completely redesigned. Both hatchbacks feature bolder headlights with eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs. The ICE version gets a black grille like the bigger Altroz, while the EV gets a body-coloured blanked-off grille. The bumper is also new with the ICE model getting pixel-shaped fog lamps, which the EV misses out on. Interestingly, the facelifted Tiago’s bumper looks similar to the Altroz's.

In profile, both models get redesigned alloy wheels, although the size is expected to be unchanged at 15 inches. Both hatchback versions also get black wheel arches, similar to the current Tiago NRG. Tata has also updated the taillights with multiple vertical LED strips, connected by a chunky bar, similar to other newer Tata models. The rear bumpers are also new, but are similar on both hatchback versions.

360-degree camera is confirmed, and a new instrument cluster is expected

The reveal video shows camera pods on the front bumper and under the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs), confirming a new 360-degree camera setup, which is new to both the Tiago and Tiago EV. With the 2025 model year update, Tata thoroughly revised the Tiago ICE and Tiago EV’s cabins, with a redesigned dashboard featuring a new steering wheel with an illuminated logo and a 10.25-inch infotainment system. However, it got an outdated-looking instrument cluster, which the manufacturer is likely to update with this facelift to give it a more modern feel.

Other features are expected to be the same, including automatic headlights and wipers, cruise control, automatic climate control, a cooled glovebox and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). However, instead of the 2 airbags currently available, the facelifted Tiago (both ICE and EV) could come with 6 airbags as standard. 

Facelifted EV could get larger batteries, but ICE’s facelift could get the same engine

Tata reveals updated Tiago, Tiago EV ahead of May 28 launchCurrent Tiago's 1.2-litre petrol engine shown for representation purposes only.

The facelifted combustion-powered Tiago is expected to continue with the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 86hp and 113Nm, and a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). The CNG option for the same engine, which produces 75.5hp and 96.5Nm, is also expected to be offered on the facelifted model.

Currently, the Tata Tiago EV is offered with two battery pack choices: a 19.2kWh option paired with a 61hp,110Nm motor, and a larger 24kWh option with a 75hp, 114Nm motor. The claimed range for the 19.2kWh and 24kWh batteries is 223km and 293km, respectively. Chances are that it will be offered with slightly larger batteries for a higher claimed range, as the manufacturer did with the Punch EV.

With the facelift, the prices are expected to be slightly revised. Currently, the Tiago ICE’s prices range from Rs 4.60 lakh to Rs 7.68 lakh, while the current Tiago EV’s prices range from Rs 7.99 lakh to Rs 11.14 lakh. Like the Punch EV, Tata may offer the Tiago's electric version with a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) scheme for a lower upfront price tag. It will continue to lock horns with the Citroen eC3 and MG Comet EV

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
