After being left underwhelmed by Tata’s pricier premium offerings, we hop into the entry-level Tiago hatchback to find a solid, stylish and fuel-efficient budget contender that knows its role
Tata made its comeback to South Africa in the second half of last year, launching four models that ranged from budget friendly to a tech-heavy crossover.
I had the mid-range Curvv and the flagship Harrier. Both are meant to be more elegant products from the brand but it felt too out of Tata’s comfort zone to give me a comfortable experience.
The Harrier was easy on the eye and had its perks but being priced from R550 000 to R700 000 did not sit well with me. The Curvv lacked identity and felt like it was all over the place.
After these experiences, I was not excited about jumping into the Tiago, Tata’s entry-level model, when I received it for testing.
