The new Tata Tiago comes with a handful of additional styling and feature upgrades on the exterior compared to the older model. These include multi-reflector LED headlights, 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and LED tail lights.
-
However, if you were to pick the base-spec Smart variant, the Tiago misses out on plenty of styling details and comes with just the basics such as halogen headlights, 13-inch steel wheels without covers, and black door handles. That said, the new Tiago does get LED tail lights right from the base variant.
-
Moving up the ladder brings ORVM-mounted turn indicators, LED headlights with LED DRLs, LED front fog lamps, and a shark fin antenna.
-
The fully loaded Creative Plus is the only variant in the new Tiago’s lineup to be offered with the option of a dual-tone paint shade. You can check out our ‘variant-wise colour options on offer’ story to pick the new Tiago in your preferred paint shade.
