Tata Launches This Car At Rs 5.48 Lakh: Can It Beat Maruti Celerio, Wagon R, Hyundai Santro?

Tata Tiago has been added with a new variant that sits below the existing XT trim. The XTO variant was introduced silently for Rs 5,47,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Because it lacks features like the Harman music system, AM/FM, USB, speed-based volume control, and Bluetooth connectivity, it is around Rs 15,000 less expensive than the XT.

In terms of its competition, the Tata Tiago goes up against the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Wagon R, Hyundai Santro and the Datsun Go.

Tata Tiago XT(O)

As it lacks features like the Harman music system, AM/FM, USB, speed-based volume control, and Bluetooth connectivity, it is around Rs 15,000 less expensive than the XT.

The XT(O) shares most features with the Tiago XT, including 14-inch wheels with full wheel covers, a 12V power outlet up front, manual air conditioning, power windows front and back, motorised adjust wing mirrors, central locking, dual airbags, ABS, and rear parking sensors.

Engine And Gearbox
