Tata Tiago sales have been increasing every month now, and the manufacturer also launched the AMT version of the vehicle. Tata is now planning to launch the Tiago Sport, and it may come next year. The car will get a body kit with a new bumper that will add sportiness. The 1.2-litre turbocharged engine that powers the Nexon is expected on the Tiago Sport too.

X451

The Tiago is doing good in the market, but Tata is still missing from the premium hatchback segment. The X451 will become the first vehicle to be launched on Tata’s new Advanced Modular Platform (AMP). The X451 gets a very futuristic design with inputs from Tata’s Indian and European design teams.

The car is expected to be powered by the new 1.5-litre engine that is available with the 1.5-litre engine that is available with the Nexon. There will be a 1.2-litre turbocharged from the Nexon as well. The concept version of the vehicle is expected to be showcased at the Auto Expo 2018.

 

Nexon AMT

The Nexon proved to a success for Tata Motors. However, the Indian company does not offer an automatic transmission with the Nexon yet. Recently, the Nexon AMT had been spotted at one of the Tata dealerships, and the car will be showcased at the Auto Expo 2018. Currently, the Nexon is available with a 6-speed manual transmission with the petrol and diesel engines. The AMT will be most likely be a 6-speed AMT unit.

Tata has revealed the Tiago electric for the UK market during the LCV exhibition. The Tiago electric has been developed by the European technical centre. It is powered by an 85 kWh engine that develops a maximum of 200 Nm. The car can do 0-100 km/h in just 11 seconds and can reach a top speed of 135 km/h. With the electric car market going forward in India, Tata may bring the Tiago electric to make its portfolio stronger.

Changes like the repositioning of the speedometer will be done to make it more suitable for the market too. Tata may also launch the Pelican as an electric vehicle.
