Tata Motors has launched the next-generation Tiago hatchback in India with petrol, CNG, and electric variants [1, 2].
The move represents a strategic effort to recover market share in the hatchback segment as Indian consumers increasingly shift toward SUVs [1, 3]. By offering multiple powertrain options, the company aims to capture a broader range of budget-conscious buyers and expand its footprint in the affordable electric vehicle market [2, 3].
The internal combustion engine (ICE) version of the vehicle is priced at ₹4.69 lakh [4]. For buyers seeking an electric alternative, the Tiago.ev starts at ₹6.99 lakh for full ownership [4].
Technical specifications for the new models vary by powertrain. The petrol variant features a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine delivering 86 hp [5]. The CNG version provides 76 hp [5].
This product offensive comes as the company seeks to diversify its portfolio beyond the current industry trend of larger vehicles. The introduction of the next-gen Tiago allows Tata Motors to maintain a presence in the entry-level segment while simultaneously pushing its green energy agenda through the Tiago.ev [2, 3].

Tata Motors is attempting to hedge its bets against the SUV trend by reinforcing its entry-level offering. By pricing the ICE model competitively and providing a low-cost entry point for EVs, the company is positioning itself to capture first-time buyers who are priced out of the luxury SUV market but are increasingly open to sustainable transport.
