    Tata Tiago [2016-2020] Revotorq XZ [2016-2019] Review

    The Tiago is a brand new product from Tata after a long time and if its stylish exterior is anything to go by then it definitely has the potential to overturn the company’s fortunes. 

    Introduction

    Tata Tiago

    Tata Motors has been going through a torrid phase lately. Not one car they launched in the past decade has come close to being successful. The fact that arch rival Mahindra has been racking up the numbers with nearly every car they have launched must have been a really bitter pill to swallow for Tata. Tata tried to rejuvenate its line-up by launching the Bolt and the Zest cousins but they looked too similar to the Vista (the car they are based on) and the Indian giant needed something fresh to start a new inning. Enter the Tiago, a brand new product from Tata after a long time and if its stylish exterior is anything to go by then it definitely has the potential to overturn the company’s fortunes. Clearly, a lot of time and sweat has gone in developing the Tiago. So does this crucial model from Tata get our thumbs up? At least as far as price is concerned Tata has definitely put pedal to the metal by undercutting its rivals by a considerable margin.

    Design and Style

    Although the Tiago shares its wheelbase with the old Indica, according to Tata they only share the basic floor plan to keep costs down. The Tiago is much larger in exterior dimensions though with it being 56mm longer, 50mm taller than the Indica.

    Tata Tiago

    As far as looks are concerned, Tata seem to have just got it right and the Tiago looks very stylish with its sharp lines and well-proportioned body. The front looks bold with the signature Tata smiling mesh grille with hexagonal elements and the sweptback headlamps are large but not overtly so. The hexagonal theme continues to the mesh on the front bumper and you also get a horizontal bar and chrome surround for fog lamps, which complements the impressive look. If the front is striking, the rear looks even better – the wrap-around tail lamps and the crease running across the boot-lid lends it a lot of character. The profile is dominated by the mildly flared wheel arches and the prominent crease running across the shoulder which lends it a sporty stance.

    Tata Tiago

    According to the spec sheet the Tiago petrol weighs 1012kg and 1080kg for the diesel. When we weighed the car on our own we found Tata’s claim pretty accurate with the petrol tipping the scales at 1020kg and the diesel at 1094kg. This makes it quite a heavy weight especially when compared to the Celerio which weighs more than 150kg less. The Tiago is suspended by independent MacPherson strut front and non-independent rear suspension. Braking duties are done by ventilated discs upfront and drums at the rear.

    Interiors

    Tata Tiago

    Forget the dull drab cabins of the old Tata cars, as the Tiago looks fresh on the inside and it feels modern with good ambiance. The interiors look really smart for a car at this price point and the dash-layout is smart and instrumentation console is neat. The hexagonal theme from the exterior continues inside with the centre console, speaker grille and the steering boss design. Quality, especially on the upper portions of the dashboard and the door pads, is nice with the fish skin-like graining. Lower down, the plastics do look a bit hard and panel gaps aren’t as consistent as the Celerio’s. But overall Tata has done a good job and overall quality and consistency is better than even the Bolt.

    Tata Tiago

    Tata have also done a good job with the comfort up front and the seats are well contoured and you sit at a good height. But driving position, as on the Indica, is still a bit off-set and this takes time getting used to. Even at the rear you have enough space thanks to the scooped out front seats and thin door pads. But you do sit a bit low which affects under thigh and even headroom is not in abundance. The backrest too, is a bit too reclined and the seatback offers too much lower back support which can be a bit irritating. We would have also liked Tata to offer adjustable rear headrests to avoid whiplash injuries. In terms of practicality Tata has put in a lot of effort and have claimed to have 22 stowage elements in the cabin but all of them are a bit too shallow and narrow. Boot space, though, is quite decent at 242litres.

    Safety and Equipment

    Tata Tiago

    In the top of the line XZ trim the Tiago comes with a good amount of features. Apart from the regulars like power-steering, power windows etc the Tiago also comes with a nice sounding Harman-developed eight-speaker music system which gets aux-in, USB and Bluetooth connectivity. The car Bluetooth also comes with smart phone integration where the small infotainment display will show turn-by-turn instructions if you are using navigation on your connected device. Tata has a tie-up with Map My India where you can get the app for free and you can use navigation offline unlike Google maps. You also get a bespoke mobile app which creates a hotspot so that multiple users can play their favourite songs on the music system. The Tiago also gets rear parking sensors with display, two airbags and ABS with EBD as standard.

    Engine, gearbox and performance

    A pair of brand new three-cylinder engines – a 1.2 petrol and a 1.0 litre turbo-diesel power the Tiago.

    The diesel Tiago is powered by a small 1047cc diesel motor which is good for 69bhp and has a modest torque output of 140Nm. As soon as you crank the diesel motor it feels impressive as it settles down to a smooth idle, although you do feel vibrations through the gear lever and pedals. 

    Tata Tiago

    With displacement of just 1047cc, Tata has chosen shorter gear ratios so that driveability at city speeds is satisfying. With turbolag well contained the Tiago diesel motor feels great for city commutes with a linear clutch action. There is enough grunt from the word go and you don’t have to constantly use the gearbox to make brisk progress. Out on the highway the motor feels at home while cruising. The engine gets into its sweet spot around the1900rpm mark and the power delivery remains linear up to the 3000rpm mark, giving it a useful mid-range. It’s just that there’s only a mild punch in the proceedings. Eco mode feels usable in the city but out on the highway we recommend to stick with City mode as it give you the much needed grunt for that occasional quick overtake. Although the NVH levels are impressive till about 3000rpm, going beyond that makes the engine sound thrummy and revving the engine to its red-line is pointless as it just makes a lot of noise without adding much pace. On our Vbox equipment the Tiago diesel posted decent times. The 0-100kmph sprint takes 17.3 seconds (much faster than the Celerio and the Grand i10 diesel) and ingear times are quite decent too. 

    Tata Tiago

    The three-cylinder 1199cc petrol engine produces a healthy 83.8bhp and 114Nm of torque. It is a modern motor with all-aluminium construction and variable valve timing, albeit just for intake port for better breathing. The petrol Tiago surprised us with its smoothness and refinement. You feel some vibrations at idle but as soon as you start moving, the engine smoothens out and as long as you don’t rev it hard, this motor is pretty silent. The Tiago doesn’t hesitate off the line and the engine pulls cleanly from low speeds. The motor doesn’t have a strong bottom end but once past 3000rpm it feels responsive and the motor gets a second wind around 5200rpm. The performance on the highway though, feels modest, especially with a full load of passengers. The gearbox is smooth enough but it has long throws and it doesn’t feel as crisp or precise as the diesel unit. We also tried out both the Eco and City modes and at low speeds there is not much of a difference. Understandably the Tiago petrol’s times weren’t spectacular. 0-100kmph takes a slow 16.23seconds which makes it much slower than the Celerio and in-gear times aren’t that impressive either.

    Ride and handling

    Tata Tiago

    If we had to pin point then it’s only at low speeds the Tiago’s suspension feels slightly stiff and you can hear the suspension thud through sharp bumps. But this apart it is hard to fault the Tiago in the way it tackles the worst of terrain. The well-judged springs rates, tall tyre profile and good damping results in a very pliant ride. Very few shocks filter in from the road and even the largest of bumps are dealt with ease. Up the speed and the Tiago rides even better and it exhibits the kind of composure which is hard to find in cars twice its price. It only pitches ever so slightly over long undulating surfaces but never to a point of feeling uncomfortable. And straight-line stability is good too, making this car ideal for long distances. Over a set of corners the Tiago feels surefooted too but the steering has some slack around the straight ahead position and it feels lifeless. The brakes though, are decent with good progressive pedal feel and the ABS works seamlessly too.

    Tata Tiago

    Price and Fuel Efficiency

    In terms of fuel efficiency, the Tiago really shines. In the city, the petrol managed an impressive 13.1kmpl while out on the highway it managed to return a respectable 17.5kmpl. The 1.04-litre diesel, on the other hand, was expectedly much more efficient. It returned 15.4kmpl in the city and 20.8kmpl on the highway. When you consider the diesel’s overall 15.5kpl (75 per cent city and 25 per cent highway), despite the small 35 litre tank it gives a fantastic range of around 550km before you need to refuel.

    Tata Tiago

    Tata, unlike its  recent products has managed to price the Tiago very well with prices starting from as low as Rs 3.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base petrol and going up to a very competitive Rs 5.54 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the top diesel XZ variant. This makes it considerably cheaper than the Maruti Celerio.

        Specifications

        • Engine & Transmission

          • Engine
            1047 cc, 3 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

            Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

          • Engine Type
            Revotorq, CRAIL with MULTI DRIVE

            The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

            A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

          • Fuel Type
            Diesel

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            69 bhp @ 4000 rpm

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            140 Nm @ 1800 rpm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Mileage (ARAI)
            27.28 kmpl

            This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

            Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

          • Drivetrain
            FWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Manual - 5 Gears

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Turbocharged

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            3746 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 3746

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            1647 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 1647

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

          • Height
            1535 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1535

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            2400 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 2400

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

          • Ground Clearance
            170 mm

            It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

            Ground Clearance
            • Ground Clearance: 170

            If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

          • Kerb Weight
            1080 kg

            The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

            A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.

        • Capacity

          • Doors
            5 Doors

            The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.

            Doors
            • Doors: 5
          • Seating Capacity
            5 Person

            The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.

            Seating Capacity
            • Seating Capacity: 5
          • No of Rows
            2 Rows

            Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

          • Bootspace
            242 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 242

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            35 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

            If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

        • Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres

          • Front Suspension
            Independent Lower Wishbone, McPherson Strut with coil Spring

            Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.

          • Rear Suspension
            Semi-Independent; Twist beam with dual path strut

            The rear suspension can either be non-independent or independent.

            Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.

          • Front Brake Type
            Disc

            Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.

            - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

          • Rear Brake Type
            Drum

            In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

            Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

          • Minimum Turning Radius
            4.9 metres

            The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.

            Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Electric)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Steel Rims

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Spare Wheel
            Steel

            Important in a country with varying quality of roads, spare wheels ensure one doesn’t get stranded when one of the main tyres gets damaged.

            Select premium car models feature space savers (smaller than the stock wheels) to save on boot space.

          • Front Tyres
            175 / 65 R14

            The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the front wheels.

          • Rear Tyres

        • My experience of Tata Tiago XZ
          It is a very good response from the Tata show room. Comfortable and tireless riding. Out and iner look is very attractive. Servicing and maintenance easily provided by the company. Excellent.

        • TATA BUILT TRUST, SAFETY and then TIAGO
          Tata Tiago is not only a car, it is our trust ,our family member. Buying experience is good and now we almost completed 1.8 years and still riding experience is like new. Look and performance is awesome. maintenance, we can say that it is a low maintenance car. It has only pros no cons .if any cons comes then ignore it, it is value for money and more important is ... This is (TATA means safety).

        • Tata tiago.
          Car is very nice but the car has little vibrations in the cabin and on high speed it performs well I have done approx 145Kmph. Nice car for a small family. It is value for money because of the low price and very good features. I have driven 12000. The suspension of this car is also good. On hill area, it performs good.
