| ![]() More than anything, Tiago and Tigor need better engines. Hope Tata delivers. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Agreed on the engines. That's the weakest link of the Tiago & especially important for someone like me who picks cars based on their motors. Especially surprising because the other Tata cars - including the Nexon - have very good engines. With better engines, the Tiago can be one heck of a hatchback (just look at the JTP, although we're talking about the mass market variants here where the competition is superior). I also hope that with the facelift, they get an "attitude" lift and stop silently deleting kit & features from their cars. Last edited by GTO : 13th February 2019 at 09:33. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Much needed upgrade if it touches the engines. I have seen Tiago owners very happy about the car except for the challenges they face with engine and the AMT. But I am very confident that this is not merely a cosmetic change and the effort would be to address performance and transmission. |

| ![]() In Manual, although its a 3 cylinder, power-wise I didn't see too many owners complaining other than here on the forum. Rather what I hear is its the vibrations which bother them a bit and comparitively the Tigor seems to be quieter because of the 'balancer-shaft' being used. If nothing else, hope that makes way into the TIAGO , making it smoother. ![]() Hope the AMT is tuned better, now that the Santro is a benchmark in that segment. Is NRG getting a facelift too? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Tata presently does not have a competent 4-cylinder petrol that can be functional and still be cost efficient. The engines on the erstwhile Zest and Bolt are turbocharged variants of an archaic engine, and that wont be cost viable to plonk that in the Tiago. The normally aspirated version of that engine, though more refined than the 3-pot motor in the Tiago, is still a dud when it comes to performance and drivability. So, I would place my bet on this being a cosmetic facelift and not a deep update that touches the engines. |

Where its not good is the engine refinement. The engine has a throaty note to it and the refinement levels are no match for Hyundai's VTVT or Maruti's K12M motors. Ofcourse, having a balancer shafts irons out some vibrations of the 3 cylinder motor, but there are some vibrations felt in lower speeds specially in 2nd gear. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() The Tiago from Tata is one of their best selling products. The only downside is that puny and boring 3-cylinder engine. That, along with the issues with the AMT transmission are the only two drawbacks of the Tiago, which is otherwise a fantastic product. I wish they would improve the AMT transmission. There have been many complaints about the transmission in the Tiago AMT thread and I hope Tata is keeping its ears open. A person looking for an automatic in this segment is bound to lean towards the recently launched Hyundai Santro AMT, which has received a lot of positive feedback. Will be interesting to see the changes in the face-lift, and I'm praying that it doesn't come with cosmetic changes only. Regards, Karthi.stark |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() This is quite a move from Tata - if the reports about an entry level sedan alongside Redi-Go is true - Tiago can find a place (and this time quiet a solid space) alongside Grandi10, Santro, Brio, Ignis, Swift etc. The features inherited from Altroz would be the source - and of course with a much bolder stance. - My thoughts |

| ![]() Going by the numbers Tiago is selling in, I think most people do not care about the number of cylinders and even NVH levels to an extent. Even this is a segment that gives the most importance to mileage, features, price, and looks than refinement. Tata has improved its engine after they released Tigor and it's doing wonders for Tiago's sales. Last edited by motobliss : 21st March 2019 at 17:39. Reason: added price |
