Rumour: Tata Tiago AMT India launch next year

As per recent media reports, the Tiago AMT variant will be officially launched in India in 2017. The car was earlier expected to be introduced during this year's festive season. However, Tata's focus is currently on the Hexa SUV, which will be launching during the early months of next year. This has pushed back the introduction of the Tiago AMT.

The Tiago AMT has already been spotted testing on public roads in the country. It is expected to get a Magneti Marelli sourced AMT unit, which will be mated to the 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine.

With the Tiago AMT's launch, the Indian automaker will be trying to target the major USP of its chief rival, the Maruti Celerio. Another automatic player coming in the Tiago's competitor list is the Kwid AMT, which is expected to be launched in the coming weeks.
