2016 Geneva Motor Show: Soon-to-be-launched in India Tata Tiago showcased

Tata Motors has showcased its Tiago hatchback at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The car will first be launched in India within the next few months before a possible launch in certain European markets by the end of this year.

The Tiago, originally named the Zica, was unveiled last year and showcased at the 2016 Indian Auto Expo. It makes use of the Indian automaker’s new Impact Design language and will replace the ageing Indica hatchback in Tata’s passenger vehicle lineup.

It will be offered with the 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine and the 1.0-litre Revotorq diesel engine. Both mills will mated to a five-speed manual with the latter possibly getting the option of an AMT which will launch at a later date. The car showcased at Geneva was a fully accessoried variant with things like fancy alloy wheels, decals, roof mounted contrast coloured spoiler and beefier bumpers.

When launched, the Tiago will compete with the Maruti Suzuki Celerio as well as the Chevrolet Beat in the A+ segment of the Indian market.
