Recently, Tata Motors tied up with Jayem Auto to produce more powerful versions of their existing engines. The result of this can be seen in the upcoming Tata Tiago JTP. The ‘JTP’ stands for ‘Jayem Tata Performance’. The JTP variant gets major visual updates and a new and more powerful engine. However, it will get the same features as seen on the standard Tiago. Recently, the car was spotted in Neelgiri mountains, during some high altitude testing. The spy photos suggest that the car will get heavy detailed graphics and a new set of alloys too, which we think will make it look sportier. Currently, the car starts from Rs 3.35 Lakhs and goes up to Rs 5.99 Lakhs. Expect the JTP to price between the range of Rs 6 Lakhs to Rs 6.5 Lakhs (ex-showroom). Here, we tell you the 5 things that you must know about this peppy hatchback.
