peaking at the launch of the Tiago NRG cross-hatch, Mayank Pareek, President – Passenger Vehicle Business Unit at Tata Motors, confirmed a JTP model is part of the four launches Tata has scheduled for this festive season, and that it will be introduced in the market in the "next eight weeks." And while he avoided specifying which of the JTPs it would be, we can confirm that it will indeed be the hatchback that will come first.Pareek also mentioned there was no need for super-competitive pricing for a performance-oriented product, so expect the Tiago JTP to be about Rs 1 lakh more than the standard, top-of-the-line Tiago petrol, retailing at an estimated Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom) when it goes on sale close to Diwali.

That's good news and I really really pray these vehicles are truly worth the hype and is a special edition in it's own right. After having a Swift & Palio, I am looking forward to an affordable sports hatch.

I am sure every other dealer will get getting Tiago since it already a hit, so I would suggest Tigor to make the experience unique for the customers

Tigor.

My only complaint regarding that car was the engine. With the JTP works - it might be a small perfect package. Looks the part too.

To add to your point, the Tiago is doing good numbers anyway. Add to that, the NRG might find some buyers as well. Its the Tigor that desperately needs some updates if it has to move off the shelf more, and hence, the Tigor JTP should have been launched first.

Anyway, hope it is launched soon as the compact sedan market is heating up, with the new Amaze and now the updated Aspire coming next week.

re: The Tata Tigor JTP & Tiago JTP. EDIT: Launched at Rs 6.39 - 7.49 lakhs

I seem to be part of a minority rooting for Tiago JTP! Tiago is currently about 40kg lighter than Tigor and considering that these models are aiming at maximum performance, I would like the one which offers more performance anyday.

Silently hoping that JTP lives upto its hype and is a worthy competitor to Baleno RS and Polo TSI. I don't think a narrative like "Tiago JTP is not in the league of TSI but then it is also significantly cheaper" is going to help JTP brand much. If this is what transpires, JTP will probably exist as a special variant selling in tiny numbers since anyone serious about performance will then go for proper performance oriented options.

re: The Tata Tigor JTP & Tiago JTP. EDIT: Launched at Rs 6.39 - 7.49 lakhs

Does anyone over here feel the Tigor is too much on the rear, with the x6 like notchback styling, smaller rear windshield, thick C pillars, also the rear HMSL which runs wide on the top creeps it further?

The JTP version is a looker, I do agree that it is the same, the body shell and the HMSL is same but somehow on the JTP, blackened rear HMSL mounted spoiler and the silver and black sporty paint scheme doesn't make the tigor's end look that disproportionate now.

...
While looks polarize opinions, the Tigor is extremely practical with a 420L boot (Vs 230L or so for Tiago) and also some additional features like ACC & a better audio system.

Yes, the looks do polarize opinions , while a recent visit to Tata Motors Dealership revealed they are all geared up for the launch of JTP twins, an insight from the salesperson revealed that the Tiago will be first launched and the Tigor will follow a bit later. Basically, they will follow the same strategy which is used by a majority of the manufacturers to first perfect their bread and butter hatchback and then slap on a booted version of it, however nowadays the scenario in the Indian market is drastically changing which can be attributed to the fact that Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze facelifts were first launched instead of the hatchbacks, while Amaze is a grounds-up sedan from day 1.

The rationale could be to test the waters with the successful Tiago first, and then roll out the Tigor JTP based on the initial feedback. But like mentioned by swiftnfurious above, the Tigor is actually a more practical package. It has only been let down by its weak engines, polarizing looks aside.

I think there is no "testing the water with Tiago first and then thinking about Tigor" now. Money and time has already been spent/invested on both cars. So I don't think they will hold off Tigor launch if Tiago JTP has poor response. Both the cars will eventually be out in market.

re: The Tata Tigor JTP & Tiago JTP. EDIT: Launched at Rs 6.39 - 7.49 lakhs

According to my Sources at Tata, the Company is likely to launch Updated Tigor on October 10th rather then the Speculated Tigor JTP.

The Updated Tigor will gain,
  • Slight changes to Front Grille.
  • Chrome inserts in Headlamps & Tail Lamps.
  • Bigger Touchscreen Audio with Apple Car Play & Android Auto.
  • New Design Seat Upholstery.
  • New Designed Alloy Wheels.
  • Shark Fin Antenna will replace current Tigor's Mini Antenna.
  • New Blue Shade is expected to be offered.

Expect no Mechanical Changes on this update, it'll continue with same 1.2 Petrol & 1.05 Diesel Engines. Petrol AMT will continue although they may offer it this time on XZ (O) variant. There won't be Diesel AMT.

With all above updates expect prices to go up a bit.

Those crome insearts in headlamps are matte finished and really enhance the look of a car. I have seen the car from front. However no idea about the taillamps crome.
