The Tata Tiago JTP is just about a month away from
launch now. According to a new report, its engine will deliver more than 110
hp. The Tata Tiago JTP showcased at Auto Expo 2018 sports a 1.2-litre
turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 110 PS at
5,000 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 2,000-4,000 rpm. Now, Tata Motors has revealed that the
road-ready version will employ a more potent engine.
In the Tata Nexon, the 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol
engine produces 110 PS at 5,000 rpm and 170 Nm of torque at
1,750-4,000 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The re-tuned
version in the Tata Tiago JTP will send drive to the wheels via a 5-speed
manual transmission (with optimised gear ratios). A firmer suspension setup will
offer a more spirited driving experience than the standard variant.
The Tata Tiago JTP will have a sportier exterior
than the standard variant. It will feature smoked headlamps, unique bumpers, a
hood scoop, larger air dam, 15-inch alloy wheels in distinctive design and twin
exhaust tips. Interior highlights will include premium leather upholstery with
red stitching, sport pedals and red accents on the AC vents.
The Tata Tiago JTP should cost about INR 6 lakh
(ex-showroom). It may come in only one equipment line.
