What owners and experts like about the Tata Tiago
Highway stability
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“It stays planted to the road; at 120-130 it doesn't shake, I've taken it to 160 and it felt very good”
Highway mileage
Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews
“On petrol at a constant 80-90 it does 21-23 km/l; on CNG it does 30 to 33 km/kg”
Air conditioning
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“Once cooled or parked in shade it chills brilliantly within 5 minutes; the dark colour makes it slow to cool after sitting in the sun”
Boot space
Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews
“It's a CNG car but boot space isn't compromised thanks to the twin-cylinder tech, and a full-size spare is still there”
Handling
Generally positivebased on 5 reviews
“For a 6 lakh budget I don't think any car handles better; the steering is light but not lifeless and self-centres smoothly”
Ride comfort
Generally positivebased on 5 reviews
“Ride quality is still a Tiago hallmark; it soaks up bumps really well, like a car from a class above”
Where the Tata Tiago falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Highway overtaking
Strongly negativebased on 6 reviews
“You'll save significantly on running costs but live with lower performance, especially on highway overtakes”
Braking
Generally negativebased on 6 reviews
“On gravel or loose surfaces, especially downhill, the ABS intervened too much and stopping distance increased; wider 185 tyres fixed it”
Rear seat space
Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews
“With four people it's very comfortable, but with five the rear space is short”
Fit & finish
Mixed reviewsbased on 7 reviews
“Fit and finish is not satisfying; while running there are rattle sounds and vibration that my other, older car didn't have”
Dashboard layout
Mixed reviewsbased on 7 reviews
“The AMT gearbox has no Park position, only reverse, neutral, drive and manual, and the handbrake is manual”
