Tata Tiago FAQs

While its suspension remains slightly firm at city speeds, the Tata Tiago never feels uncomfortable. In fact, the CNG version’s higher-profile tyres make the ride over broken sections even better. The steering is light at city speeds, but weighs up progressively as you pick up pace. In the city, this makes parking and manoeuvring in traffic an easy affair, while out on the highway, it inspires confidence. The Tiago’s strong braking performance is yet another aspect of this hatchback that makes driving it in the city or the highway a non-issue.
 

The dust resistant light-grey fabric upholstery of the Tata Tiago’s cabin is both practical and well thought out. The use of recycled materials is yet another modern touch, a fact that’s highlighted by embossing on the A-pillar. Apart from the brand’s new two-spoke steering wheel design and a dual free-standing digital displays, the Tiago’s interior also scores a premium-feeling gear lever for the manual version. While the two-tone interior theme elevate the feeling of premiumness, the roofliner is now made up of a conventional woven fabric that looks and feels budget.
 

Tata has given the phones tray of the Tiago a rubberised design, which prevents devices from slipping as you drive. The presence of physical buttons and rotary controls for the HVAC system enhances practicality. The lack of gloss-black trim on the steering wheel is another plus, preventing smudges and fingerprints from accumulating over time. Higher variants also get wireless charging, a 65W USB Type-C charger and a centre armrest with cupholders. The rear of the Tiago can also be had with a 65W charging port and AC vents for added practicality. For those seeking utmost practicality in everyday scenarios, the petrol version’s 242-litre boot easily accommodates three cabin bags and a couple of soft bags. On the flip side, parts of the free-standing instrument display can be blocked depending on your driving position, and the faint backlighting for the rotary drive selector in the automatic variants is hard to tell at a quick glance.
 

When Tata updated the Tiago for 2026, it skipped on including headrests and load sensors for the rear seats. There’s also no Harman audio system anymore. What the Tiago does get now is the brad’s new BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) concept that allows users to pair their smartphone directly to the Bluetooth-enabled instrument cluster and two speakers for calls and music streaming.
 

If you’re someone who wants the convenience of an automatic gearbox with the low running costs of CNG, then the Tata Tiago’s CNG-AMT combo is worth considering. Not only is its real-world performance sufficient for urban commutes, but the AMT’s well-calibrated shift logic makes driving relatively stress-free in the city. One can also use the steering-mounted paddle shifters in case you want to prepare to overtake slower moving traffic on the highway.
 

During our time testing the Tata Tiago CNG equipped with the AMT gearbox, it returned an average of 33.33km/kg. With twin 30-litre tanks, this comes out to expected range of over 320km. With a claimed ARAI mileage of 17.63kpl, the Renault Kiger CVT is less frugal than the Hyundai Venue DCT. However, when compared to the turbo-manual variant of the Venue, the Kiger turbo-manual is more fuel efficient.
 

Being a compact and economical hatchback that’s also easy to drive, the Tata Tiago continues to provide a good value quotient. Moreover, with its chic styling, premium-looking interior and a lengthy equipment list, the Tiago is one of the most sorted hatchbacks right now.
