The Tata Tiago based compact sedan rumored to be called the 'SWAY' has been spied. The car will get both a petrol and diesel engine and will be priced very competitively.

The Tata Tiago hatchback will be launched soon and as we reported months ago, there will also be a compact sedan version of the same. The new Tata Tiago based compact sedan, rumored to be called Sway or Kite will possibly be showcased at the upcoming Indian Auto Expo and will share the same look at the one you get on the Tiago.

Judging from the spy pictures we see here, the Tata Tiago based compact sedan looks quite proportional and well balanced in terms of its rear boot profile unlike some other cars in its category. Expect the ‘Sway’ to share the front end look up to the c-pillar with the exception of maybe a slightly different grille. The new Tata Tiago based compact sedan will also share the same interior as the likes of the hatchback and will get all the gadgets and gizmos you find on the latter.

In terms of engines, the Tata Tiago based compact sedan or Sway will have a 1.2-litre 3-culinder Revotron petrol engine with 85PS of peak power and 114Nm of torque. The car will feature driving modes and will get a 5-speed manual gearbox with an AMT making its way to the new compact sedan too. The diesel engine will be a 1.0-litre three cylinder unit that will make 70PS of peak power and 140Nm of peak torque.

From what our reports indicate, the Tata Tiago based compact sedan could be priced really competitively and could even be priced as low as Rs 4 lakh. If so, the ‘Sway’ could actually start off an all new entry level compact sedan segment which is currently absent in India. This could also in turn force manufacturers like Maruti and Hyundai to bring in even smaller compact sedans which could be based on cars like the Maruti Wagon R or the Hyundai i10.
