Why does this story matter?
Tata Motors is one of the top automakers in India in terms of sales and the Tiago is the highest-selling hatchback for the brand on our shores. The homegrown carmaker had introduced the NRG model in 2016 with a rugged styling to appeal to a wider range of potential customers. The new XT variant tries to offer a slightly better value-for-money proposition.
