The XTA variant costs Rs 46,500 less compared to the top-spec XZA

Tata's little Tiago is going from strength to strength. The hatch recently breached the one lakh mark in terms of bookings, and Tata claimed that the AMT version received an "overwhelming response". Looks like the manufacturer is keen on cashing in on the response, because it has quietly slid in the AMT for the XT trim of the Tiago. The Tiago XTA costs Rs 4.79 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). That makes it nearly half a lakh cheaper than the top-spec XZA. The automatic also costs Rs 42,000 over the equivalent manual variant. Save for the lack of a clutch and the gear lever, it is identical to its stick-shift counterpart. There's no change mechanically either, and the Tiago automatic is available with a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine that develops 85PS of power and 114Nm of torque. There's no word on claimed fuel efficiency, but we expect it to be quite close to the manual's 23.84kmpl. That said, the Tiago XZA we tested returned 16.04kmpl inside the city, and 22.04kmpl on the highway run. And yes, a detailed review will follow shortly - watch this space.

This isn't a nasty breakup. And, no, there's no name-calling involved either. In fact, press releases issued by both manufacturers insist that the brands are on really good terms and wouldn't hesitate to collaborate again in the future.

We can't give you an opinion just as yet. We can show you a lot of pictures, though!
