Tata Tiago XT AMT Mileage

One of the biggest advantages of using an AMT is that there’s no negative effect on the mileage. Hence, the Tiago XT AMT’s average mileage remains very similar to that of the manual model. For reference, here’s a look at the fuel mileage numbers of the manual model.

Tata Tiago XT AMT Specifications

So far, the Tata Tiago AMT Automatic is available only in two trims of the petrol engine variant – XT and XZ. Powering the petrol Tiago is a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that outputs a max. power of 85 PS and a peak torque of 114 Nm. For the XTA trim, the engine comes mated to a 5-speed AMT unit. This 5-speed AMT is the same unit that is also available on the Nano and the Zest (mated to the Diesel motor in the latter’s case). Eventually, Tiago diesel will also get this AMT. Fingers crossed!

According to Mr. Vivek Srivatsa – Head – Marketing, PVBU, Tata Motors – “AMT is ideally suited for India’s traffic conditions, reducing the stress of driving at an affordable price, without compromising on fuel efficiency. Tata Motors’ EASY SHIFT AMT comes with additional features like “Crawl Function”, “Sports Mode” and Manual shift option, making it an advanced AMT package. As per our turnaround strategy, we are working with a renewed focus and energy to improve our market share and bring products faster to market. To cater to the increased demand for AMT, we introduce the attractively priced TIAGO XTA, aiming to consolidate our growth in the hatchback segment.”

Tata Tiago XT AMT Automatic Engine and Transmission

So far, the Tata Tiago AMT Automatic is available only in two trims of the petrol engine variant – XT and XZ. Powering the petrol Tiago is a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that outputs a max. power of 85 PS and a peak torque of 114 Nm. For the XTA trim, the engine comes mated to a 5-speed AMT unit.  Like the 5-speed AMT in the Nano, the Tiago’s unit also features a crawl function and ‘Sport’ mode. AMT gearboxes don’t usually affect fuel economy as severely as other conventional automatics. We expect the new Tata Tiago AMT to return a mileage of around 23-24 kmpl. This 5-speed AMT unit could even find its way to diesel variants of the Tiago in a few months from now.
