The Tata Tiago is a 5-door hatchback city car made by Tata Motors in India since 2016.

Codenamed the "Kite" during development, the Tiago was previously announced as the Tata Zica, with "Zica" short for "zippy car", but it was changed because the launch of the car coincided with the outbreak of Zika virus.{{cite news|last1=McPhate|first1=Mike|title=Zica Car Will Be Renamed, Tata Motors of India Says |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/03/business/tata-renaming-zica-car.html |accessdate=3 February 2016 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=2 February 2016}} Tiago, a common Portuguese masculine name, was simultaneously picked from suggestions solicited online and from brand naming company Appella's fully validated shortlist of names, who were commissioned by Tata Motors to find an alternative name in February 2016.{{cite web |title=Tata's Zica car gets a new name: Tiago |url=http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/22/autos/tata-zica-car-zika-virus-tiago/ |website=CNN Money |date=22 February 2016 |accessdate=22 February 2016}}

The Tata Tiago was created as the successor of the previous Tata Bolt, which was not met with much success. Tata began designing a completely new vehicle (Kite project) of a city car with 5-door body that could boost the sales of the brand in the Indian automotive market.

The car was based on the Tata X1 platform that also underpinned the Indica and the Bolt, however the platform was modified and shortened in order to lower production costs. Tata also used the in-house Revotron and Revotorq three-cylinder engines, replacing the Fiat FIRE and Multijet engines used in previous models.{{cite news |url= http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/specials/auto-focus/tata-zica-review/article7952737.ece|title=Tata Zica Review|author=S Muralidhar |date=5 December 2015 |newspaper=The Hindu Business Line |accessdate=7 December 2015}}{{cite web |url= http://overdrive.in/news/tata-zica-features-and-specifications-revealed/|title=Tata Zica features and specifications revealed|author=Halley Prabhakar |date=2 December 2015 |website=Overdrive |accessdate=7 Dec 2015}} The Tiago is being produced only in right-hand drive at the Tata Motors Sanand Plant in India.

The Tiago is powered by a 1.2-litre Revotron three-cylinder 12V petrol that produces 86 BHP (64;kW) power and 114 N⋅m (84 lb⋅ft; 12 kg⋅m) of maximum torque combined with a 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed AMT,{{Cite web |title=Tata Tiago AMT now in XTA trim at Rs. 4.79 lakh {{!}} Team-BHP |url=https://www.team-bhp.com/news/tata-tiago-amt-now-xta-trim-rs-479-lakh |access-date=2023-05-24 |website=Team-BHP.com |language=en}} or a 1.1-litre Revotorq three-cylinder diesel engine producing 69 BHP (51 kW) of power and 140 N⋅m (103 lb⋅ft; 14 kg⋅m) of maximum torque, combined with a 5-speed manual transmission.{{Cite web |title=Tata Tiago : Official Review |url=https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/official-new-car-reviews/172150-tata-tiago-official-review.html |access-date=2023-05-24 |website=Team-BHP.com |language=en}}

In September 2018, Tata Motors launched the Tiago NRG, a crossover like trim with the ground clearance increased by {{convert|10|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} plastic cladding, two-tone alloy wheels and a rear bumper shield.

Safety rating

In 2020, the Indian manufactured Tiago was crash tested in its basic safety specification for the Indian market by the Global NCAP, scoring four stars for adult occupant protection and three stars for child occupant protection. The Tiago offers dual airbags as standard across all the variants but does not offer side airbags, ESC or ISOFIX anchors. It does not have three-point seatbelts or head restraints in all seating positions. Its structure was deemed to be incapable of withstanding further loading during the crash test.{{cite web|url=http://www.globalncap.org/tata-achieves-another-high-rating-result-four-stars-tigor-tiago/|title=Tata Achieves Another High Rating Result With Four Stars For The Tigor/Tiago|last=|first=|date=22 January 2020|website=|publisher=GlobalNCAP.org|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=17 February 2021}}
