ENGINE

Tata Tiago comes with two engines- petrol and diesel.

REVOTRON

This petrol engine does a decent job

Revotron is a 3 cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine. It delivers a power of  85 PS and torques 114 Nm. It is made of aluminum and offers a 5-speed manual. The kerb weighs 1012 kg and you can feel it while riding. The initial power delivery is good but as you go on it lacks to meet your expectations. You have to keep working with the engine to bring out its best. The power delivery is not so smooth and you can feel the lack of power under heavy load. The clutch is light but it does not release very efficiently. It becomes jerky in traffic. At high revolutions, the engine makes a lot of noise. The gear ratio is what makes this engine worth paying for. This engine is good enough for your daily city life but it does not set the stage on fire.

REVOTORQ

Revotorq is smooth and easy to ride

Revotorq is a 3 cylinder 1.05-litre diesel engine. It delivers a power of  70PS and torque 140Nm. The head of the engine is made of aluminum and block is made of cast iron. This engine is way better than the petrol version. The kerb weighs 1080kg but the extra torque makes it feel a lot lighter. The engine picks up momentum slowly but once you reach the 1500 rpm mark you can feel its true power. Its easier to ride as compared to the petrol version. Though as you increase the speed you will find that the engine is noisy. The vibrations are there but not as much.

Both the engines are loaded with two driving modes. City mode is the default mode. There is also an eco mode. This mode lowers the performance of the engine but maximizes fuel economy. Try using the eco mode only on the highway.

Tata Tiago petrol version gives a mileage of 23.5 kmpl and you can expect a better mileage in diesel version.

PRICE

Tiago has 5 different variants – XB, XE, XM, XT and XZ.

The price tag of Tiago’s base model (XB) petrol is 3.2 Lakh and of the top model is 5.67 lakh.

It has an eye-catching look and hi-tech features. It offers a very good mileage too. And we Indians keep this particular feature as the top most priority while buying a vehicle.
