Tata Tiago [2016-2020] User Reviews

Waited almost 2 month to own this car, but every moment of wait for worth it. To be frank was bit sceptical about buying Tata product after owning brands like Ford and Chevrolet. But do not regret any bit of the decision taken to buy Tiago.

This review comes after a month of ownership driven through roads of Delhi/NCR. (would be updating in upcoming time period).

1.) Looks & Design Exterior looks and design is amazing. I found it far better than Grand i10 and now antiquated swift's looks. Sheet used are heavey as well Bonnet and doors would give you evidence of it.

2.) Interior I bought top model XZ, it is fully loaded with amazing Harman Infotainment, steering mounted controls, amazing display panel with very useful modes for instant average, trip mileage, time, odometer and beautifully designed led display for fuel and temperature.

3) Drive & Comfort The drive is pretty smooth, handling is excellet. Quite zippy in heavy traffic. Steering becomes very light at low speed for zipping through traffic and stable at high speed to give driving confidence. The confortable seats , smooth gear shift and clutch adds to confortness in driving. I drove from Gurgaon to Noida to west Delhi and back to Gurgaon. Almost 200+ km in a day and didn't felt the fatigue of driving.

4) Performance It has two modes City and Eco. Engine performance as per 3 cylinder is adequate. However, there is bit lag at low RPM and Eco mode lacks power. But when speed rechaes mid range RPM performanc picks up. There is bit of sound from engine at higher RPM but gets easily ignored.

Mileage is excellent, I am getting around 16kmpl after driving 500+ kms in delhi's traffic.

Actually it has gear shift indicator and instant mileage (on display panel) if you stick to it then you would get excellent mileage.

Its really value for money car and feels amazing everytime I drive it. Also, customer services have improved a lot, I bought it from Pahwa Motors,Delhi and they gave excellent service and was very helpful with all my concerns and doubt.

Infotainment, Style, Space , comfort, handling,Engine bit lags in eco mode

Exterior Very stylish exterior design, Solid built quality, looks premium hatchback at low cost. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Specious, nice interior, comfertable seats, good storage space, Best in class Harman music system.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol engine is bit noisy but you dont feel it while driving and AC on. Currently I am getting around 12-13kmpl in City as its only 1 week while writting this review. Hope, it will be better after 1st/2nd servicing. Gear shifting is good.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is best, Easy handling around sharp curves and U turns.

Final Words Well, I was about to buy Kwid RXT-O and I could say that I am a proud owner of Tata Tiago- XT now and thanks to all those reviews which helped me to take this correct decision. Great value for money and really satisfied with the performace of the car. 

Areas of improvement Fuel economy and Door lock knobs.

Update: This review is for Revotron XT- Petrol version.

 

Update after 4 months: Milage has been increased to 19kmpl on highway and 15.5-16 in City with AC on. 

Interiors, Exteriors, Music system, Boot spaceDoor locking knobs, Fuel economy (1 week experience)

Exterior It looks nice, Sporty, not compare with any other car in its segament.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The moment you enter the car, the black dash board and Interior finish makes you feel WOW !!!. The Herman music system has excellent features and good surround sound. The car is spacious and three people can easily seat in back seat and can also have good leg room & Boot space also.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very powerful. but when i start the car i feel some vibration inside the cabin after moves its going smooth, from my point of view its a 3 cylinder engine thats why vibration are coming otherwise no problems at all. Gearbox moves smoothly and easy to handle.

Ride Quality & Handling Very smoothhhhhhh. Very stable, sticky on road, feel rich when drive, One of the strongest feature is its Power stering which is very easy to handle.

Final Words Its a very good car  coming with very excellent features as per this price segament.

Areas of improvement After sales service.

Exterior & Interior Looks, Performance, Style, Handling, breaking, In-dash Music System, Spacious,Nothing

Exterior AWESOME looks.NO Doubt.he grill at the  front gives a sporty look to the car ,it has also got some beautiful curves.the tail lamp is modern and give overall an awesome impression.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) NICE comfortable, good finishing,excellent music system. Comfirtable seats, can drive for hours. Good AC works very nice. TATA shows some refined interiors with impact concept. I like it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Nice engine performance,impressive acceleration.you can easily overtake as its got ample for power.

Ride Quality & Handling Overall a good car and better than all in this price.since it is heavy than other cars it gets better grip and controling .good suspension.

Final Words If you are looking for a small car for 4 people, then this is it.

Areas of improvement Tata needs to focus on customer service, Its just not untill you sell the car,you need to ensure, is the customer facing any problems. You need to ensure the customer is happy. Need to work on refing engine. Try to give your best.

First of all Looks are awesome,and everyone agrees it.A lot of features in the price of 4 lacs.Since its got a 3 cylinder engine ,it is slightly noisy. Nothing else.its best.

Exterior Exteriors in XZA are simply eye popping with the styling, orange colour and the alloy wheels. The body lines and contours simply enhance the appeal of the vehicle and merge into the head lamps on the sides.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good space. 2 air bags, ABS, EBD give feeling of safety and confidence to drive. Harman infotainment system with steering controls are very ergonomically placed for ease of handling. Bluetooth connectivity provides a real hands free ride. I feel seats could be made little more comfortable with lumber support and full thigh support at least in the XZA model.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Revtron Petrol engine is peppy and responsive. Fuel economy on my new car is showing 12.3 kmpl with ac but driven only 100 km. Hope it will improve and expect it tobe 16-18 for city driving. Gear box is very good and smooth to operate. Minimum operation is needed anyway. The gear shift is felt like when we do it manually. Feels odd as the clutch-shift feel is sensed by the driver without doing anything himself. Must get used to it. It appears as a small lag but I am driving the AMT geared car first time and sure to get used to that.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth on wheels. Good suspension. comfortable. 

Final Words A nice price-performance package. Bought this car after comparing Celerio amt, grand i-10, ignis, renault kwid, i-20, baleno, swift etc. These models either lack many of the fully loaded features of Tiago or cost at least 2 lakhs higher. 

Areas of improvement Seating Comfort. ORVM shape could be little more streamlined. Rear Parking assist camera could be provided in the XZA version. Also a fully functional navigation system could be built into the infotainment system with a little larger touch screen. Rest all a great deal. Hope tata provides a delightful after sales support and the Tiago proves to be a long haul reliable partner.

ABS, EBD, Airbags, overall Styling. Fantastic Music System.Small Boot. Gear Shift slightly lagging. Seat could've been more comfortable.

TATA is not going to stop with this and there are many bombings to be done in the market soon, and this will have a huge impact on the rivals, so, the market segment leaders BEWARE!!! I drove TATA Tiago automatic and was enchanted by the performance. I went with the perception that the gearbox is supplied by Magneti Marelli and TATA's engineers would have done a decent job on it but NO. I was wrong and I thought i was quite stupid to have that perception even after i had driven TATA Tiago manual version.  Leaving behind the introduction part i would like to continue with the actual meat of the matter which is the performance. First of all TATA's have added a creeping function which effectively means that when you leave the brake pedal the car will move automatically, this was however not present in the ZEST.  Secondly what i felt was that there is a monitoring mechanism which sees the way you press the accelerator and it accordingly changes gears, which means that if you drive in a rough fashion and you are driving the automatic first time then the gear changing will be a bit slow as compared to the high expectation you might have but, not to worry the system takes care of this and after 1 kilometre you get what you want. This also applies to the drivers who drive slowly.  Now i come to the everbody's favourite the "Sports mode". This was the point i thought the car will no be able to pick up very fast but in turn will take load and produce more sound. But, i deeply regret my thinking and feel pity on my thinking. The time i pressed the pedal after a gap of 1-2 second the car rushed with all its power till 6000 rpm and i pushed back into the seat, it was a scary moment for me as there was a motor cycle in front of me which i was going to hit but thanks to good braking and the ABS.    Rest of the information includes the fact that this is available only in top model and in petrol.styling, power and spaciosengine displacement could have been more

Exterior Tiago has a fresh new look, nothing as compared to the preivious tata cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior are no match with other cars in this segment. Music system is top notch, the car is well made and minimizes outside noise very efficiently. I read somewhere about the performance of the AC, but I drove the car on 25th and 26th May in Bhopal (which recorded a maximum temperature in past 60 years in these two days) and found no issues with the AC.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Milage is 12 KMPL. my driving pattern could also be a factor. Hope this will improve after first service.

Ride Quality & Handling Good.

Final Words While I was planning to buy this car, people always told me against it, but somewhere I had already decided to go ahead with this car. I now feel that I made the right decision.

Areas of improvement Tata should introduce an AMT variant.

Ride quality, Interior, exterior, comfort, pricing (best in the segment).nothing except the mileage, which is 12 kmpl at present, and hope will improve after 1st service.

Exterior Awesome Design. Never exptected to see TATA to launch such a car. Infact i cancelled KWID to purchase Tiago.

Interior (Features, Space & Coclmfort) Interior i would say really good. Its up with the standards like car ranging between 8-10 lakhs. Harmon Infotainment System is best in class. Even with 4 speakers the sound clarity is very clear.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and andGearbox Already driven close to 2000 KM. In city i am getting 14 - 16. In highway i got 20.9 which is really cool. I dont see any sort of vibrations when the vehicle is in idle. In fact when the vehicle was on idle my friends asked me whether the vehicle is on or off. I am really satified with this model.

Ride Quality & Handling Great Ride Quality.

Final Words Best in the Segment. Full Value for Money. And more over its made in INDIA. Dont think too much just go for it.

Areas of improvement ABS should be optional for all the variants.

Interior, Music System, Good Fuel EconomyNothing

I bought Tata Tiago XZ (P) in the first week of december. I was looking for a good car with a great value for money. I also had a option of Celerio & Grand i10 in my mind. I went to their showroom also. But after giving numerous hours to youtube & websites like carwale, i went for Tiago top model. I'm writing this review after 2000 kms & 1st service. Seats are comfortable, music system & steering are just awesome. ABS, EBD, CSC, ESP are icing on the cake. Not much vibration/noice as some people says. NVH is not that much as people hyped. ECO mode without AC gives me around 27+ average on highways(speed 70kmph). Interiors are good & well designed. Doors locks automatically once speed crosses 15-20 kmpl. OVRMs are electrically adjustable from inside. Build quality is solid. Alloy wheels are my favourite. Rear wiper, foglamps,defogger & day-night IVRM hepls me to drive in the rain, fog & in the night effortlessly. Suspension is very good.
