Tata Tiago Turbo Petrol Spotted Testing In India
Highlights
- Tata Tiago turbo petrol will take on Hyundai's Grand i10 Nios Turbo
- Tata Motors is also readying the Altroz turbo petrol variant
- The test mule looks identical to the updated Tiago hatchback
We previously reported that Tata Motors purchased 50 per cent share of Jayem Automotives In JTSV Joint Venture, becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors. The JTSV was formed in 2017 wherein both the companies entered into 50:50 joint venture to develop high-performance versions of the Tata's passenger cars. It is already known that the Indian carmaker is readying a turbocharged petrol version of the Altroz hatchback that was recently seen testing in a new blue shade with 'Turbo' badging at the rear. Now, a Tiago test mule has been captured on camera which is likely to be a Turbo variant.

As seen in the spy picture, the test mule looks pretty much similar to the Tiago facelift. It can be seen sporting temporary headlights along with a redesigned grille and front bumper. Another Tiago turbo variant draped in camouflage was spotted in Coimbatore.
Presently, there is not much we know about the actual engine that will come fitted on the performance version of the Tiago. However, this is not the first time that Tata Motors is readying the turbocharged version of the small car. The JTP variant of the car was powered by a BS4-compliant 1.2-litre, turbocharged petrol unit that developed 112 bhp with 150 Nm of torque. Notably, the car has been discontinued in India.
