Complete specifications and details for the Tata Tiago JTP are now official. The car is expected to be priced at INR 7 lakh (ex-showroom), undercutting other performance hatchbacks like the VW Polo GT & Maruti Baleno RS by a considerable margin. Tiago JTP is powered by a 1.2L, turbocharged motor with a 3-cylinder layout and 5-speed manual gearbox. The overall output is amazingly good, bringing 114 PS of maximum power at 5000 rpm and 150 Nm of massive torque at 2000-4000 rpm. [caption id="attachment_301299" align="aligncenter" width="814"]

Measuring similar to the regular model, the changes are visual and performance focused on the car. The reduction in ground clearance by 4mm and use of dual exhaust pipes, along with the mighty 185/60-R15 alloy wheels confirms the intention of victory from Tata Motors. The car comes with an updated headlight and bumper setup. [caption id="attachment_301301" align="aligncenter" width="856"]
