Tata is readying up the new Tiago facelift which will be launched soon. The changes will be related to design and possibly BS-6 engines.
The Tata Tiago is set to receive a facelift again as the new version has been spied in flesh. Tiago is expected to receive the upgrade soon, most likely by next month. Launch at the Auto Expo 2020 might also be a possibility.
The new Tata Tiago Facelift will sport some styling changes to make it look sharper. The changes might also be seen inside the cabin. Going by the spy shots, the new Tiago gets a completely new front bumper and sleeker headlamp design.
The spied Tiago gets a revised front grille, which now looks identical to the Altroz. The front grille is inspired by the Tata’s Humanity line. The bonnet has also been raised by a bit, to make it compliant to the pedestrian safety measures.
