Tata Motors has officially teased the next-generation Tata Tiago, ahead of its scheduled launch on May 28. The company has given a glimpse of both the petrol and electric versions of the updated hatchback. As seen in the short teaser video, both models feature a significantly sharper exterior design while retaining their familiar compact proportions. Here is a comprehensive look at everything you need to know about the 2026 Tata Tiago and Tiago.ev.
Exterior Design Changes
At the front, the new Tiago gets a completely redesigned fascia with slimmer full-LED headlamps and integrated LED daytime running lights. A gloss black panel runs across the nose, featuring the Tata Motors logo at the center. The bumper has also been revised, adopting a trapezoidal design with multiple horizontal slats in the center. Tata has differentiated the petrol and electric versions through their front-end treatment. The internal combustion engine (ICE) model gets a more conventional lower grille setup and fog lamps integrated into the bumper, while the EV features a cleaner, body-colored closed-off front section.
One interesting detail visible in the teaser is the presence of a front camera, hinting at the addition of a 360-degree camera system. Other expected additions include a revised digital instrument cluster, an updated touchscreen infotainment system, wireless charging, and possibly ventilated front seats on higher trims.
Side Profile and Rear Design
The side profile remains largely similar to the outgoing model, although Tata has added fresh alloy wheel designs. The petrol version gets new dual-tone diamond-cut alloys, while the EV receives aero-style wheel inserts. At the rear, the biggest change is the addition of connected LED tail lamps. The rear bumper has also been redesigned and now features vertical reflectors. A shark-fin antenna and roof spoiler are also present. Interestingly, both the petrol and EV versions look almost identical from the rear, with only the 'Tiago.ev' badging and green registration plate helping differentiate the electric version. Tata also showcased the hatchback in new shades, including green and orange.
Mechanical Specifications
Mechanically, the standard Tiago is expected to remain unchanged. It is likely to continue with the same 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, offered with manual and automated manual transmission (AMT) gearbox choices. Tata is also expected to retain the factory-fitted CNG option. The current petrol engine produces 86 PS and 113 Nm of torque, while the CNG version develops 73.4 PS and 95 Nm.
The Tiago EV, meanwhile, is expected to receive bigger updates under the skin. Tata could introduce a larger 30 kWh battery pack with improved range figures and faster charging capabilities. Full details regarding specifications, features, and pricing will be revealed at the official launch later this month.
