'''Tata Tiago''' is a [[city car]] made by [[Tata Motors Cars|Tata Motors]] in India since 2016. It is derived from the Tata Kite project.

The Tiago was previously announced as the '''Tata Zica''', with "Zica" short for "zippy car", but it was changed because the launch of the car coincide with the outbreak of [[Zika virus]].<ref name="nyt">{{cite news|last1=McPhate|first1=Mike|title=Zica Car Will Be Renamed, Tata Motors of India Says |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/03/business/tata-renaming-zica-car.html |accessdate=3 February 2016 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=2 February 2016}}</ref> Tiago, a common Portuguese masculine name, was picked from suggestions solicited online.<ref name="cnnmoney-tiago">{{cite web |title=Tata's Zica car gets a new name: Tiago |url=http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/22/autos/tata-zica-car-zika-virus-tiago/ |website=CNN Money |accessdate=22 February 2016}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Tata Tiago (116).JPG|thumb|left|Tata Tiago rear (pre-facelift model)]]
Tata Tiago was born as the successor of the previous [[Tata Bolt]], which was nothing but a heavy restyling of [[TATA Indica Vista|Tata Indica Vista]]. Like the Indica Vista, even the Bolt did not get the desired success and Tata began designing a completely new vehicle (Kite project) of a city car with 5-door body that could boost the sales of the brand in the Indian territory.

The base platform was always the Tata X0 chassis that also adopted the previous Indica and Bolt but was heavily modified and shortened because with the new car Tata Motors wanted to lower the list price as well as the production costs. Also the engines were all new and the old [[Fiat]] 1.2 [[FIRE engine|FIRE]] and 1.3 [[Multijet]] unit adopted by the previous models were abandoned. With the Tiago, Tata brings to its debut the [[Tata Revotron engine|Revotron]] and Revotorq three-cylinders designed together with Austria's AVL, a family of modular propellers designed to equip the entire range of the Indian manufacturer.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.topgear.com/india/tata/review-tata-zica/itemid-51|title=Review: Tata Zica|author=Girish Karkera |date=1 December 2015 |website=[[Top Gear (magazine)|Top Gear]] |accessdate=7 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/specials/auto-focus/tata-zica-review/article7952737.ece|title=Tata Zica Review|author=S Muralidhar |date=5 December 2015 |newspaper=[[The Hindu Business Line]] |accessdate=7 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://overdrive.in/news/tata-zica-features-and-specifications-revealed/|title=Tata Zica features and specifications revealed|author=Halley Prabhakar |date=2 December 2015 |website=Overdrive |accessdate=7 Dec 2015}}</ref>

The Tiago was 3.75 meters long, shorter than the old Tata Bolt, the body has 5 doors. From the Tiago has also been developed a sedan variant called [[Tata Tigor]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/passenger-vehicle/cars/tata-motors-to-launch-kite-5-sedan-on-tiago-platform-in-march/56871830?redirect=1 |title=Tata Motors to launch Kite 5 sedan on Tiago platform in March |editor=Economictimes.indiatimes.com |date=30 January 2017|accessdate=21 August 2018}}</ref>

The engines are the 1.2-liter Revotron three-cylinder 12V petrol that delivers 85 horsepower and 114 Nm of maximum torque combined with a 5-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic, the diesel is a 1.1-liter Revotorq three-cylinder common rail 12V 70 horsepower delivering 140 Nm of maximum torque, combined with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Tiago is produced only with right hand drive in Tata Motors [[Sanand Plant (Tata Motors)|Sanand plant]] and is not expected to be imported in Europe.

In September 2018, Tata Motors launched the Tiago NRG in the Indian market, a crossover like trim with a 10 mm raised, raw plastic guards for the bumpers and sills, two-tone alloy wheels and a rear bumper shield. The Tiago NRG is sold with both 1.2 petrol and 1.05 diesel engines.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianautosblog.com/2018/09/tata-tiago-nrg-launched-314460 |title=Tata Tiago NRG launched in India, priced from INR 5.50 lakh |editor=Indianautosblog.com |date=12 September 2018|accessdate=12 September 2018}}</ref>

=== JTP version ===
In October 2018 Tata launched the Tiago JTP, a sporty version Tiago with 1.2 litre Revotron Turbo engine with max output of 114 PS of power which is 29 PS more than all the other versions.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://overdrive.in/news-cars-auto/tata-tiago-jtp-and-tigor-jtp-to-launch-in-india-on-october-26/ |title=Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP to launch in India on october 26 |editor=overdrive.in |date=22 October 2018 |accessdate=12 September 2018}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.autocarindia.com/car-reviews/2018-tata-tiago-jtp-review-test-drive-410247|title=2018 Tata Tiago JTP review, test drive|website=Autocar India|language=en|date=27 October 2018 |access-date=2 January 2019}}</ref> It was tuned by JT Special Vehicles or JTSV, a joint venture between Tata Motors and [[Coimbatore]]-based Jayem Automotives.<ref name=":0" /> According to Tata, the car can accelerate from 0–100 km/h under 10 seconds.<ref name=":1" /> There are also design changes which includes revised front grille, new bumper at front and dual exhaust pipe at the rear.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gaadiwaadi.com/tata-tiago-tiago-nrg-and-tiago-jtp-whats-the-difference/|title=Tata Tiago, Tiago NRG and Tiago JTP – What's The Difference|last=Vijay|first=Vibin P.|date=23 December 2018|website=Gaadiwaadi.com|language=en-US|access-date=2 January 2019}}</ref>

===Facelift (2020) ===

The facelifted Tata Tiago was unveiled alongside the Tigor in 2020. It included cosmetic changes along with the [[Bharat stage emission standards|BS6]]-complaint engine update.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-tiago-tigor-facelift-launched-at-rs-46-lakh-and-rs-575-lakh-415660|title=Tata Tiago, Tigor facelift launched at Rs 4.6 lakh and Rs 5.75 lakh|website=Autocar India|language=en|access-date=2020-02-12}}</ref> Also Tata has added some new more colours including Victory yellow which later on Tata has discontinued.

== Safety rating ==
In 2020, the Indian manufactured Tigor/Tiago was crash tested in its basic safety specification for the Indian market by the Global NCAP, scoring four stars for adult occupant protection and three stars for child occupant protection. Tiago/Tigor offers dual airbags as standard across all the variants but does not offer side airbags or ESC even as an option. It does not offers ISOFIX anchorages even as an option and does not have three-point seatbelts and head restraints in all seating positions. Its structure was deemed to be incapable of withstanding further loading during the crash test.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalncap.org/tata-achieves-another-high-rating-result-four-stars-tigor-tiago/|title=Tata Achieves Another High Rating Result With Four Stars For The Tigor/Tiago|last=|first=|date=22 January 2020|website=|publisher=GlobalNCAP.org|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=17 February 2021}}</ref>
