Tata Tiago sales picking up, Petrol engine receives higher orders
Tata Tiago has received 20,000 plus bookings across India making it a successful after a long span of not so successful launches. Tata Motors which are known primarily as a diesel car maker has received higher bookings, about 70% for the Tiago petrol.
Tata dealerships across the nation have also received 1,00,000 inquiries for the car. There are many reasons for the success. A big marketing push coupled with a product which comes with a long list of features and available with powerful yet fuel efficient engines.
The petrol motor an all-new 1.2-litre three cylinder DOHC aluminium engine develops 85Ps @ 6000 rpm of power and 114 Nm @ 3500 rpm of torque. The diesel engine also an all-new 1.05 litre three cylinder DOHC unit made of aluminium with a cast-iron block generates 70 Ps @ 4000 rpm of power and 140 Nm @ 1800-3000 rpm of torque.

The Tiago hatch is the first car to be launched under our Made Of Great campaign and the first to embody our new IMAPCT Design language.
