Tata Tiago – Expected Price range, specifications and features

1/6

Tata Tiago, one of the most-anticipated cars in the country, will finally be launched on April 6, 2016. The new hatchback will be sold alongside the Indica eV2, and produced at Tata Motors’ Gujarat based plant. To be positioned below the Bolt, the new Tata hatchback will rival the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Chevrolet Beat, Hyundai i10 and Honda Brio. Since the carmaker aims to increase its share in the competitive hatchback segment, the Tiago prices are likely to be on lower side. This hatchback might come within the price range of Rs 3.5 lakh – Rs 5.50 lakh.
