Carwale has come up with a fresh set of spy shots of
the new Tata Tiago (facelift) that was spotted testing on an expressway in
Maharashtra. The Tata Tiago was launched in April 2016 and became the company's
first-ever model created using the IMPACT design language.
The refreshed
version, on the other hand, seems to have taken design cues from the Tata
Altroz, which is the second vehicle to embody the IMPACT 2.0 philosophy after
the Tata Harrier. The refreshed model will feature an updated upper front
grille and a new bumper. Even the headlamps and the tail lamps are expected to
have some tweaks.
Inside, the car is expected to receive a new seat
upholstery and trim, and improvements to the infotainment systems. The 2020
Tata Tiago (facelift) will be sold with the current model's 1.2-litre Revotron
naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine, albeit, in BSVI-compliant
format. The current, BS-IV version produces a maximum power of 85 PS at 6,000
rpm and a peak torque of 114 Nm at 3,500 rpm.
It's being said that diesel engines will get too
expensive for entry-level models with BS-VI upgrade. Hence, currently, it's not
for sure if the 1.05-litre Revotorq diesel motor of the current model would be
retained. In its current state, this motor offers a maximum of 70 PS and 140
Nm. Both the engines come mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, while the
petrol mill can be ordered with a 5-speed automated manual transmission
optionally.
