The Tiago buyer is usually someone who finds the entry Marutis too flimsy-feeling and the Swift too expensive — a family buyer who wants substance at the bottom of the market. Tata obliges with a 1,684 mm-wide, 3,813 mm-long hatch and a 20-variant range stretching from ₹4.7 lakh all the way to ₹8.55 lakh, the widest spread in this corner of the segment. Somewhere in those 20 variants is almost certainly your exact budget.

Somewhere in those 20 variants is almost certainly your exact budget.
One spec genuinely separates it from the small-Maruti crowd: the CNG version pairs with an automatic. Both the 86 PS/113 Nm petrol and the 75 PS/97 Nm CNG versions of the 1.2-litre Revotron three-cylinder offer a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT — so high-running commuters no longer have to choose between cheap fuel and a two-pedal city car. Power-per-rupee is healthy too at 18.3 PS per lakh, well clear of the Celerio's 14.7.
The equipment ceiling is higher than the price suggests: upper trims list projector headlamps, LED DRLs, LED headlamps and taillights, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, a digital cluster and an electronic boot release. The boot itself is 242 litres — mid-pack, less than a Celerio's 313 — and the fuel tank is a segment-generous 35 litres.

Tiago vs Maruti Suzuki Celerio: Identical ₹4.7 lakh start, claims 34.43 km/kg CNG and a 313L boot — but its CNG cannot be had with an automatic See the Maruti Suzuki Celerio.
Tiago vs Maruti Suzuki Wagon R: From ₹4.99 lakh with a 341L boot and 34.05 km/kg CNG claim — roomier, though the Tiago's kit ceiling is higher See the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R.
Tiago vs Renault KWID: ₹4.53 lakh entry undercuts the Tiago, but with a 22.3 kmpl best figure and far less equipment at the top See the Renault KWID.
Tiago vs Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Tour: The ₹4.99 lakh fleet-spec Wagon R claiming 34.73 km/kg — pure commercial tool versus the Tiago's family brief See the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Tour.
The Tiago is the substance pick of the budget hatchbacks: wider, torquier and better equipped at the top than anything from the Maruti small-car shelf, and its CNG-plus-AMT combination is a real-world trump card no direct rival matches. Ignore the extremes of the range — the base trim misses the good kit and ₹8.55 lakh is too much for this footprint. The middle of the range with the AMT, in CNG if you commute hard, is where the car makes most sense.
₹4.7 lakh to ₹8.55 lakh spread across 20 variants — the widest variant range among budget hatchbacks, covering petrol and CNG, each with manual and AMT options.
Yes — this is the Tiago's party trick. The 75 PS CNG offers a 5-speed AMT alongside the manual, a combination the Maruti small-car range does not sell.
The Tiago's 1.2 Revotron makes 86 PS and 113 Nm; the Celerio's 1.0 makes 69 PS/91 Nm and the Wagon R's 1.0 makes 67 PS/89 Nm (its 1.2 makes 90 PS). In petrol form the Tiago out-muscles both 1.0s comfortably.
242 litres, with a 35-litre fuel tank. It is mid-pack — bigger than an Alto's but behind the Celerio's 313L and Wagon R's 341L.
Mid-range trims with the AMT — you get the useful convenience kit while staying well under the ₹8.55 lakh flagship. With 20 variants on sale, match features to price rather than buying by trim name.
Upper variants list LED headlamps, projectors, LED DRLs, LED taillights and even LED fog lamps, plus rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlamps — a lighting spec unusual for this price band.
3,813 mm long and 1,684 mm wide on a 2,400 mm wheelbase — noticeably wider than the 1.0-litre Marutis, which is what makes its rear bench genuinely three-abreast usable.
Official claimed figures for the current range are not listed in our data. Plan a proper test-drive loop to measure it yourself, and compare against the Celerio's claimed 34.43 km/kg CNG if economy is the deciding factor.
