With the all-new Tata Tiago hatchback, the home-grown automaker is aiming to project it as a individual vehicle maker, and the fact is realized practically in the improvised designing of the car.
Bringing ease for the automakers and customers alike, the GST has effectively diminished prices of cars across segments, save for hybrids. While carmakers cheerfully passed on benefits to the customers, Tata Motors was among the very first auto giants to announce GST prices for its products. Tata’s popular hatchback, Tiago has also witnessed price cut among other vehicles in the line-up with prices going down marginally. After the GST implementation, the hatchback is presently priced at Rs Three.21 lakh and goes up to Rs Five.25 lakh for the petrol line-up. While the diesel range starts from Rs Four.97 lakh and the top-spec variant comes for Rs Five.48 lakh (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
Faring well against rivals in the segment, Tiago recently achieved the milestone of one lakh unit bookings. Just so you know, Tiago was launched last year in India at introductory price of Rs Trio.20 lakh for the base petrol variant. With the latest GST price cut, the prices equate the introductory prices at the time of launch. Read More About: Tata Kite five Sedan | Tata Nexon Compact SUV | Tata Hexa Crossover
An interesting trivia about the car exposes that out of one lakh bookings, around 65,000 units have been delivered so far. The AMT tooled variant and the range-topping variants in the line-up are the most popular among customers and rake in good monthly numbers. Earlier launched only with manual gearbox, the company recently added an AMT gearbox to the CZA trim in the carline. The Tiago range is available with a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol and a 1.05-litre oil burner. It additionally comes with two drive modes- Sports and City, this makes it the very first car in the segment to suggest Sport mode.
