2026 Tata Tiago price list
Six trim levels on offer
The 2026 Tiago is available in six trim levels: Smart, Pure, Pure+, Pure+ A, Creative and Creative+. At the base level, the 2026 Tiago is ever-so-slightly more affordable than the Celerio (Rs 4.70 lakh) and way undercuts the Grand i10 Nios (Rs 5.55 lakh). Coming to the top-spec petrol-AMT variants, the updated Tiago slots between the Celerio (Rs 6.73 lakh) and the Grand i10 Nios (Rs 8.03 lakh), sitting closer to the latter.
As for CNG variants, the Tiago has the lowest starting price and commendably offers the fuel type across most trim levels. On the other hand, the Celerio CNG is sold in only one variant at Rs 5.98 lakh, while the Grand i10 Nios CNG comes in two variants (Rs 7.22 lakh and Rs 7.72 lakh).
2026 Tata Tiago exterior and interior
Looks sharper and more upright overall
The 2026 Tiago was unveiled online a week ahead of its launch, revealing comprehensive updates to the exterior. Compared to the outgoing model, the 2026 Tiago’s reworked front end includes sharper headlamps, a slimmer, 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. The hatchback also claims a ground clearance of 170mm.
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.
Courtesy of an upgraded E&E architecture, the 2026 Tiago packs features such as a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, a digital driver’s display, a wireless charging pad, rear AC vents, a 4-speaker sound system, a cooled glove box, cruise control, connected car tech, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to name a few. 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. Tata has also strengthened the 2026 Tiago’s bodyshell for added safety credentials.
2026 Tata Tiago engine and gearbox
Petrol and CNG options
Under the bonnet, the 2026 Tiago retains the outgoing model’s powertrains. As standard, the hatchback offers a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated engine in 86hp petrol and 75.5hp CNG guises. Gearbox options comprise a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT for both versions. In a first for its segment, the 2026 Tiago CNG AMT gets paddleshifters too.
As before, the Tiago is available in a separate all-electric guise as well, dubbed the Tiago EV. The hatchback’s electric derivative has received similar updates and is priced from Rs 6.99 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh.
