The indicators are integrated into the headlamps. Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are present. The lower grille is finished in black. Fog lamps are not included in this second top model but are available in the top variant. The car offers a ground clearance of 170 mm. It is equipped with dual wipers and washers, which are also rain-sensing. The roof is plain, with a dual-tone roof option available.
Side Profile and Safety
Looking at the side, the Tiago Facelift maintains its strong road presence. It comes with a warranty of 3 years or 1 Lakh km, which can be extended. The car is known for its robust build quality, having received a 4-star safety rating in crash tests, making it a solid hatchback in its segment.
The car rides on dual-tone hyperstyle steel wheels, designed to mimic the look of alloys. Braking is handled by disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The radial tires have a profile of 175/60 R15. The Outside Rear View Mirrors (ORVMs) are auto-foldable, folding and unfolding with the car’s lock and unlock actions, and include integrated indicators. The A-pillar is body-colored, while the B-pillar features a black finish. The fuel tank capacity is between 35 and 37 liters.
Rear Profile and Boot Space
At the rear, the car features the Tata logo and Tiago badging. A reverse parking camera is integrated. The backlights use halogen bulbs, with indicators placed within them. Above, you will find a rear defogger, a high mount stop lamp, and a shark fin antenna. The spoiler pad is finished in glossy black. A rear wiper is not included in this second top model. The rear bumper houses two reverse parking sensors.
The boot space remains accessible by key. It offers a generous 242 liters of cargo capacity, along with a parcel tray and hooks that can hold up to 3 kg. In CNG variants, two 30 kg cylinders are placed below, leaving the space above for luggage. The spare wheel is a normal steel wheel, 13 inches in size (two sizes smaller than the main tires), and comes with a jack and tool kit. The rear seats are 100% foldable, providing extra cargo room when needed.
Interior Enhancements and Comfort
Inside, the Tiago Facelift feels significantly upgraded. The door trims feature a black finish, power window controls, speaker placement, and a bottle holder. (Top models get chrome door openers). The dashboard, touchscreen, steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, and seat colors all feature a new combination. There are no rear AC vents. A small floor hump is present, which may require the middle passenger to adjust their feet slightly. Legroom and thigh support are average. Grab handles are available, and the roof light uses white LED.
The rear headrests are fixed in this second top model, without adjustment options. Three-point seatbelts are provided. The seats have a new texture and a changed greyish color, which is more practical as it helps hide dirt, and offers improved cushioning. ISOFIX child seat mounts are also included for child safety. Headroom is decent for rear passengers.
Driver’s Cabin and Technology
The driver’s cabin of the Tiago Facelift feels truly new. It comes with two airbags as standard across all variants, along with a child lock feature. The driver’s door trim includes controls for all four power windows, ORVM adjustments, a speaker, and a bottle holder. The driver’s seat features improved cushioning, a new color, height adjustment, and recline options. Levers for fuel lid and boot openers, along with ABC pedals and a bonnet release lever, are conveniently placed.
Once inside, the new Tiago Facelift’s dashboard presents a large touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster, similar to those found in other models. The new steering wheel has an illuminated logo and includes controls for telephony, infotainment, and the Multi-Information Display (MID). The steering wheel is tilt-adjustable. The instrument cluster shows RPM, digital speed, range, odometer, trip average, mileage, fuel gauge, and temperature bars. Both automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers are featured.
The center console is a major highlight, now featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a notable upgrade from the previous 7-inch unit. It supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and includes a USB port.

AC vents have chrome surrounds, and the Tiago branding is visible. Other features include a hazard light switch, another USB port, a 12V charging outlet, and storage space.
