Are you in the market for Tata Tiago and wondering which variant to pick? Worry not, as we have got you covered in this story.

Variant-wise Pricing and Features
1. Tata Tiago XE
| Ex-Showroom Price | Rs 5,39,900 (petrol MT), Rs 6,29,900 (CNG-MT) |
Key Features
| Exterior | Steel wheels with hub caps, body-coloured bumpers, and an integrated spoiler. |
| Interior | Dual-tone theme, a front power outlet, fabric seats, and a digital instrument cluster. |
| Comfort & Convenience | Front power outlet, manual AC with heater, adjustable front headrests, tilt adjustment for power steering. |
| Safety | Dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, corner stability control, puncture repair kit, front seat belt with pre-tensioners & load limiters |
Verdict: Since the base-spec Tiago XE misses out on various essential features, we will not recommend buying this variant.
2. Tata Tiago XM
| Ex-Showroom Price | Rs 6,59,900 (CNG-MT) |
| Price Difference From XE CNG | Rs 30,000 |
Key Features (over XE)
| Comfort & Convenience | Rear parcel shelf, all four power windows, and central locking. |
| Infotainment/Entertainment | Harman sound system, AM/FM, USB & Bluetooth connectivity, two speakers, |
| Safety | Day/night IRVM. |
Verdict: Tata Tiago XM variant can be a good option for those on a tight budget. However, it is only available with the CNG powertrain option.
3. Tata Tiago XT (O)
| Ex-Showroom Price | Rs 5,84,900 (Petrol-MT) |
| Price Difference From XE | Rs 45,000 |
Key Features (over XM)
| Exterior | Piano black ORVMs with turn indicators, full wheel covers, and body-colour door handles. |
| Interior | Piano black finish on the steering wheel & around infotainment, and a theatre-dimming effect for the cabin lamp. |
| Comfort & Convenience | Follow-me-home function for headlamps, electrically adjustable ORVMs, and steering-mounted audio & telephony controls. |
| Infotainment | Four speakers (do not get any music system) |
| Safety | Speed sensing auto door lock. |
Verdict: The petrol-only XTO variant of the Tata Tiago explains the incremental price gap with the number of value-added features. But surprisingly, it doesn’t have a music system, and you have to install it separately. You should, however, jump to the XT variant if you don’t want to tinker with aftermarket accessories.
4. Tata Tiago XT/XTA
| Ex-Showroom Price | Rs 6,14,900 (Petrol-MT), Rs 6,69,900 (Petrol-AMT), and Rs 7,04,900 (CNG-MT) Rs 30,000 extra for Rythm Pack |
| Price Difference From XT (O) | Rs 30,000 |
Key Features (over XT (O))
| Exterior | Dual-tone Hyperstyle wheels and black finish on B-pillar. |
| Comfort & Convenience | Height adjustable driver’s seat, vanity mirror on co-driver side. |
| Infotainment/Entertainment | Harman sound system, AM/FM, USB & Bluetooth connectivity, and two speakers. |
| Optional Rhythm Pack | 7-inch touchscreen infotainment pack with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, four tweeters, and a rear camera. |
Verdict: The XT variant seems a good option for most buyers. Also, it is the most affordable trim to come with two-pedal convenience.
5. Tata Tiago XZ+/XZA+
| Ex-Showroom Price | Rs 6,82,900 (Petrol-MT), Rs 7,37,900 (Petrol-AMT), Rs 7,72,900 (CNG-MT) Rs 9,000 extra for dual-tone paint option |

| Interior | Black & Beige interiors, knitted roof liner, body-coloured side air vents with chrome finish. |
| Comfort & Convenience | Rear defogger, automatic AC, cooled glovebox, rear wiper & washer, cooled glovebox, one-touch down driver’s window, and auto-fold ORVMs. |
| Infotainment/Entertainment | 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, eight speakers (including four tweeters) |
Verdict: Tiago’s XZ+ variant offers good value for money and appears to be an attractive option for customers seeking an upmarket ownership experience. However, features like rear adjustable headrests, rear AC vents and charging points are big misses.
