Tata Motors is all set to launch the Tiago NRG in India. NRG, that stands for 'energy' is a crossover based on the regular Tiago hatchback. However, the Tiago NRG will not just get rugged cladding but will also get improved ground clearance and tuned suspension to make it more capable over the Tiago. In addition to the distinct styling, the Tata Tiago NRG is also expected to get a new touchscreen infotainment system with iPod connectivity. Tata will offer the Tiago NRG with a 1.2-litre petrol or 1.0-litre diesel mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. We expect the pricing of the Tata Tiago NRG to be competitive as the new offering from Tata Motors will take on the Maruti Suzuki Celerio X in India. Stay tuned to OVERDRIVE to get details like the launch price, variants, specifications as well as features offered.
