Exterior Looks good from outside but cannot diferentiate between a Tiago, Grand I10, Ford Figo. Surprised that top end model has half rubber rear bumper, not body colored. Red Color lools fab. First one in Bangalore with Top end RED.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space features looks good but when you use, it hinders like USB port wire fouls with gear. It doesnt charge the phone, TBT Navigation is useless, maps not reliable, steering controls sparse and screen pixel quality very bad in today's tech world.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine sputters. I am surprised it drags on even slight slope and am sure will struggle on hills. Fuel Economy is so far 15kmpl. Gears are smooth at high speeds. Clutch, brake and accelerator has some design problem. It fouls with each other in a swift action. The clutch pad is too small, it hurts the foot.
Ride Quality & Handling At slow speeds, in traffic, during rains and in dark. Its very scary to me. I have been driving > 20 years and have never been so tentative on road. My other car is Innova and am more comfortable driving in extremely busy and narrow roads than Tiago. At high speeds, it flies and is a to drive on highways. Its steering is ultra smooth and light. It touches 100kms easily. Eco mode is useless.
There is distinct engine problem. It has a tremble and its noise levels are greater than a diesel car.
Its rear glass windshield has serious design flaw. It just does show the vehicle in the rear adequately. Have to rely on OVRMs largely. Dicky and door knobs are of poor Ambassador type hard push. In the era of softclose, all these needs serious banging to shut it tight.
Final Words Its poorly designed car, rich in looks and features but very bad in Engine performance, clutch/brake/accelerator pedals, dicky glass and drags on slopes at slower speeds (forget hills).
Areas of improvement Many, if I had a choice, I would sell and buy another car.
Styling, attention to small details esp aesthetics, featuresEngine Performance, quality of material, basic design flaw
