New Tata Tiago ICE Variant-Wise Features Detailed

GaadiWaadi -

Tata Motors’ most affordable car undergoes its most significant refresh yet, bringing updated styling and a multitude of new tech features

The Tata Tiago has received its third facelift, and this one is the most comprehensive update for the model so far. Priced from Rs. 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom), the latest version comes with a major design overhaul and a host of new features. Tata Motors offers the new Tiago in six trims: Smart, Pure, Pure+, Pure+ A, Creative, and Creative+.

Smart Trim

The Smart trim isn’t particularly stylish, featuring black mirrors and door handles and steel wheels. However, it does come with speckled-black cosmo grain textured wheel arch cladding and LED tail lamps. Inside, Tata Motors equips the Smart grade with chrome-finish door handles, a digital instrument cluster, a tilt steering, a two-spoke steering wheel, and six airbags. On the safety front, the base configuration features six airbags, reverse parking sensors, ABS with EBD and CSC, and 3-point ELR seat belts.

Variant Type	Petrol Price	CNG Price	Transmission
Smart	Rs. 4.69 lakh	–	MT
Pure	Rs. 5.49 lakh	Rs. 6.49 lakh	MT / AMT
Pure+	Rs. 5.99 lakh	Rs. 6.99 lakh	MT / AMT
Creative	Rs. 6.99 lakh	Rs. 7.99 lakh	MT / AMT
Creative+	Rs. 7.29 lakh	–	MT/AMT

Pure Trim

The Pure trim adds full wheel covers, gloss black power-adjustable ORVMs with integrated turn indicators, body-coloured door handles, and a radio antenna, which gives it better styling. A two-speaker sound system, steering-mounted audio controls, front and rear power windows, central locking, USB Type-C and USB Type-A ports, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat are among the key highlights. A larger, day/night IRVM, rear defogger, and follow-me-home headlamps provide added safety and security.

Pure+ Trim

The Pure+ A trim has a catchier styling with connected tail lamps, 14-inch stylised wheels, and chrome line door handles. It also adds rain-sensing wipers and a rear wiper with a washer. A passive keyless entry system, an automatic climate control system, rear AC vents, a front centre armrest with storage space, a rear parcel tray (petrol-only), and automatic headlamps round up the upgrades.

Torque	113 Nm	96.5 Nm	Height: 1535 mm
Gearbox	5 MT / AMT	5 MT / AMT	Wheelbase: 2400 mm

Creative Trim

The Creative trim swaps the 14-inch stylised wheels with 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels (petrol only), although their availability is limited to the petrol variant. LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights improve visibility and styling. Automatically folding ORVMs, a cooled glovebox, one-touch driver-side power window, and magazine pockets improve comfort and convenience. A larger, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system is another key upgrade in the Creative grade. A 360º HD camera system and a Blind View Monitor provide enhanced safety.

Creative+ Trim

The Creative+ trim brings more style with a contrasting black roof. It also adds LED fog lamps, more than 35 connected car functions, a 65-watt rear USB Type-C port, and a wireless smartphone charger.

Tata Motors has launched the new Tiago with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a CNG variant of the same, with the latter featuring a twin-cylinder setup. This engine produces 85 hp and 113 Nm of torque running on petrol and 74 hp and 96.5 Nm of torque running on CNG.

Hyundai To Likely Launch 4 All-New Cars By 2027

GaadiWaadi -

Four newly developed Hyundai models, including both sub-4 metre and 4+ metre cars, expected to be launched within by 2027

In October 2025, Hyundai announced that it had lined up 26 launches in India by March 2030. The second-generation Venue was the first major launch following this announcement, and by 2027, the company will be launching four more all-new models as part of this mid-term strategy.

1. Next-gen Hyundai Bayon

The Hyundai Bayon is currently a Euro-focused model, but moving into its second generation, it will be more globally relevant. Media reports say Hyundai will launch the next-gen Bayon in India by September this year.

The next-gen Bayon will be a mid-size SUV featuring a funkier exterior and more modern interior compared to the Creta, and is expected to be targeted at younger customers. It will likely be offered with an existing 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine and an all-new 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. A hybrid powertrain will likely follow.

2. Hyundai compact EV

Rendering

Hyundai is developing a heavily localised compact electric SUV that could challenge the Tata Punch.ev. Spy shots have shown it featuring a squarish body, a high ground clearance, and pixel-inspired front and rear lights. It will likely be offered with two battery packs, both comprising LFP cells produced locally by Exide Energy. The larger of the two should deliver a range of 375-400 kilometres. Hyundai will likely launch this model in early 2027, possibly at the biennial Auto Expo scheduled to take place from 4 to 9 February.

3. Next-gen Hyundai Creta

The Hyundai Creta will enter its third generation in 2027, possibly sometime in the middle of the year. The all-new Creta should be noticeably bigger, measuring around 4.5 metres in length, and be based on Hyundai Motor Group’s K3 platform. The next-gen model will be inspired by the Hyundai Crater concept and feature a much more rugged exterior.

Render Source: SRK Designs

Inside, the design would be cleaner and more high-tech, with a tablet-like 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system based on the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) taking the centre stage. A hybrid powertrain based on a 1.5-litre petrol engine is expected to be another highlight of the next-gen Creta, although whether Hyundai offers it right from launch remains to be seen.

4. Next-gen Hyundai i20

Curent Hyundai i20

The Hyundai i20 will transition into its fourth generation later this year and could arrive in its latest avatar here sometime in 2027. The next-gen i20 will be based on the same platform as the next-gen Bayon and will likely feature an evolutionary exterior. Inside, spy shots have shown a new curved panel integrating the digital instrument cluster and the touchscreen infotainment system. Hyundai may offer a wide range of Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems as well. The company will likely launch the all-new premium hatchback in an ICE variant, but could roll out a hybrid variant at a later stage.

Tata Motors To Introduce 4 AWD SUVs By Next Year

GaadiWaadi -

New AWD SUVs to be aimed mainly at customers with a knack for adventure travel, rather than hardcore off-roading

Tata Motors only manufactured FWD models for five years after discontinuing the Hexa in 2020 until last year, when it introduced the Harrier.ev with optional AWD. The company is seeing rising demand for AWD capability among adventure-minded customers and is likely to capitalise on the trend with four more AWD SUV launches in the near future.

Sometime in the second quarter of the year, Tata Motors is expected to launch the Sierra.ev, the pure electric variant of the all-new Sierra. The company will likely give a choice of single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD configurations in the electric mid-size SUV. The latter would have two motors, including a higher-output unit on the rear axle and a lower-output unit on the front axle.

Following the Harrier last year, its three-row cousin, the Safari, is set to receive an all-electric variant with the familiar ‘.ev’ suffix this year. Tata Motors will likely bring the Safari.ev to showrooms in late October, just around Dussehra and before Diwali. The company should offer it in single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD configurations, with the latter packing 291 kW (390 hp) of total power and 468 Nm (504 Nm with a boost function) of total torque.

In early 2027, Tata Motors will introduce an AWD option on the ICE Sierra. The company offers the ICE Sierra with 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol, and 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine options. It may give the AWD option only on configurations equipped with the turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.

Also expected in 2027 is the production version of the Avinya X, a large SUV-coupe concept. Avinya will be a new, EV-only brand positioned above the core Tata Motors brand. The Avinya X concept’s production version would have a stylish and futuristic exterior and a minimalist interior that would be completely different from Tata models. It should also be offered in single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD configurations, with the latter aimed mainly at Outdoorsy customers.

Most of the aforementioned AWD SUVs should feature multiple terrain modes, including normal, grass/snow, mud/ruts/gravel, sand, rock crawl, and custom. A Transparent Mode is also expected, showing the driver what’s beneath the vehicle on the infotainment screen.

Ultraviolette Tesseract Launch In Jan 2027 With India’s First 100V Scooter Architecture

GaadiWaadi -

In addition to a 100V architecture, Ultraviolette Tesseract gets updates across ergonomics, rider interface and practicality as well

Ultraviolette has announced a fundamental rework of the Tesseract electric scooter –  introducing what it claims is India’s first 100V architecture for a scooter. It is a change that pushes the platform well beyond what any production electric scooter in the country currently runs. The launch, originally planned for earlier, has been pushed to January 2027 to accommodate the engineering changes and additional real-world validation the new architecture demands.

The 100V powertrain architecture is the centrepiece of the update. At 15 kW (20 hp) peak output, the Tesseract produces three times more power than what Ultraviolette describes as the industry average for electric scooters. Charging speed is twice the industry average and the higher voltage architecture enables more efficient thermal management.

It allows the electric motor to sustain peak output for longer under demanding riding conditions rather than throttling back to manage heat. Load carrying capacity has also been improved and the motor controller, charger and vehicle electronics are lighter and more compact as a direct result of the voltage increase.

Beyond the powertrain, feedback gathered from nationwide customer showcases and roadshows has driven updates across ergonomics, rider interface and practicality. The Tesseract will now come with a larger seat and increased floorboard space – two changes that directly address comfort feedback from prospective consumers who interacted with the pre-production version across multiple cities.

The design and engineering teams worked through these inputs alongside the powertrain development resulting in what Ultraviolette describes as a comprehensively refined product. The platform is currently undergoing real-world testing across multiple terrains, environmental conditions and riding scenarios ahead of the market launch.

Ultraviolette has framed the delay as a deliberate choice to ensure the Tesseract reaches customers in a state that matches the performance and technology benchmarks the company committed to at the time of the unveiling. With 15 kW of peak power, the performance gap between the Tesseract and anything currently sold as an electric scooter in India will be considerable.

BYD’s First Plug-In Hybrid Car For India To Debut On June 9

GaadiWaadi -

BYD’s first plug-in hybrid SUV for India has been teased indicating the brand’s intention to consolidate its product portfolio and here we explore what it could be

Nearly 1,100 km combined driving range and more than 300 hp from a hybrid SUV may soon enter Indian roads wearing a BYD badge. After focusing entirely on electric vehicles locally, the Chinese manufacturer has now officially confirmed plans to introduce its first plug in hybrid model for the domestic market.

The teaser released by BYD India confirms the upcoming SUV will use the company DM i hybrid system. Unlike conventional hybrids, the setup allows the vehicle to operate for longer distances in pure electric mode before the petrol engine steps in either to assist performance or recharge the battery during different driving conditions.

Two global BYD SUVs currently sit at the centre of speculation – the Atto 2 DM i and the Sealion 6. Both have already surfaced around India in different forms over the last year. The Atto 2 was spotted testing locally in 2025 while the Sealion 6 appeared publicly at Auto Expo 2025 before camouflaged prototypes emerged later on public roads.

The Sealion 6 currently looks like the stronger possibility. Globally, the SUV sits above the Atto lineup and shares visual similarities with the Sealion 7 EV which is already sold in India. Large dimensions, smoother surfacing and a more premium cabin position it closer to products such as Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Meridian and Volkswagen Tiguan.

International versions use 1.5-litre petrol hybrid systems paired with 18.3 kWh and 26.6 kWh battery packs. The front-wheel-drive variant develops around 218 hp while the turbocharged all-wheel-drive version produces nearly 344 hp. Electric only range stretches up to 140 km under NEDC testing conditions while combined range goes over 1,090 km.

The Atto 2 follows a smaller footprint and simpler hybrid setup. Overseas versions combine a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine with either 7.8 kWh or 18 kWh batteries. Depending on configuration, power output ranges between 166 hp and 212 hp while claimed combined range figures approach 1,000 km.

Hybrid technology is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers operating in markets where EV charging infrastructure still remains uneven outside major cities. Several consumers now want lower running costs and electric commuting capability without depending entirely on charging stations during long distance travel. BYD appears to be targeting exactly that customer base.

Unlike traditional strong hybrids currently sold in India, plug in hybrids can cover much longer distances in EV mode while still carrying a combustion engine for backup. In urban conditions, many owners may rarely need to use petrol at all if charging access remains regular.
