TATA MOTORS

Tata Tiago facelift: approximately € 9.000 EUR

India's Tata Motors will officially unveil a restyled version of its city car Tiago (as well as the Tiago EV) next week.

The Tiago was launched in 2016, was refreshed in 2020, and underwent minor changes in 2025.

In short, the refreshed model comes with a modernized exterior (slimmer headlights, new grille, different bumpers, plastic wheel arch trim, new 15-inch wheel design...) and an improved cabin (new digital instrument panel and redesigned seats with integrated headrests), along with richer equipment (including six airbags).

The only difference between the internal combustion engine and electric versions is the Tiago and Tiago EV badge on the tailgate, as the exhaust pipe is hidden under the rear bumper anyway.

Ahead of its official launch on May 28, Tata Motors has revealed both the exterior and interior of the facelifted Tata Tiago, and this update feels far more significant than a routine cosmetic refresh. The Tiago has always been known for being sturdy, practical and value-for-money, but visually, it had started lagging behind Tata’s newer generation of products. This facelift changes that.

The updated Tiago now gets a sharper exterior inspired by newer Tata cars, fresh alloy wheels, expected feature additions and a much more premium overall road presence. Here’s a detailed look at the interior of the Tiago ICE.

Interior...The 2026 Tata Tiago’s cabin has a same black-and-grey interior theme as before, giving the hatchback a more premium and contemporary feel.

One of the key updates over the outgoing model is the redesigned dashboard, which now features a cleaner horizontal layout along with a new 10.25-inch floating infotainment touchscreen and a new floating digital driver’s display.

The slightly redesigned two-spoke steering wheel continues the familiar Tata design language, while the gloss black finish on the centre console adds visual appeal but could attract fingerprints rather quickly.

Tata has also replaced the older touch-based AC controls with tactile physical buttons and dual rotary knobs for the AC system, which we really appreciate.

Exterior...The facelifted Tiago gets a thoroughly redesigned front-end that immediately makes it look more modern than before.

It now features sleeker LED headlamps with eyebrow-style LED DRLs.

While the grille has been redesigned with a gloss-black finish inspired by the Tata Altroz.

The bumper, too, is completely new and gets sportier detailing

It gets pixel-style fog lamp housings, giving the hatchback a slightly more aggressive appearance than before.

In profile, the overall silhouette remains familiar, which means the Tiago is expected to continue with compact city-friendly dimensions.

However, Tata has added several visual upgrades to freshen things up:

New dual-tone alloy wheels

Blacked-out ORVMs

Shark-fin antenna

Black roof treatment

Wheel arch cladding

These changes make the Tiago look noticeably sportier and younger without dramatically altering its proportions.

The Tiago will likely continue to be powered by a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with 63 kW/86 hp, while a CNG variant with 56 kW/76 hp will remain in the range.

The all-electric Tiago EV is available in medium and long-range versions with a range of power outputs.

Pricing will be announced at the market launch on May 28.

Estimated Price and Competition...Speculation points to prices starting in the range of Rs. 4,500 Lakh to Rs. 5,000 Lakh (ex-showroom prices) for the entry-level combustion engine versions, rising according to the technology package. It will continue its direct market competition against the recently updated Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.
