Under ₹7 lakh, you can get a brand-new car with dual airbags, ABS, a digital instrument cluster, and the Tata badge. That's the Tiago's pitch — and it's why it remains one of the best-selling cars in Chennai for first-time buyers, college graduates starting their first job, and families looking for a reliable second car.
The 2026 Tiago is available in 17 variants across petrol and CNG, including the NRG crossover variant with raised ground clearance. Prices start at ₹5.52 lakh — the most affordable Tata car you can buy.

On-Road Cost in Chennai

| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ex-Showroom Price | ₹5.52L |
| RTO & Registration (Tamil Nadu) | ₹0.94 L |

Even the top XZA NRG CNG at ₹9.76L ex-showroom stays under ₹12 lakh on-road. That's a fully-loaded, CNG, automatic hatchback for less than what some people pay for a mid-spec Baleno.
Who's the Tiago For?
We sell Tiagos to three types of buyers at our Arumbakkam showroom:
First car buyers — fresh graduates or young professionals who want something reliable and affordable. The Tiago's compact size makes it easy to park in Adyar's side streets or T. Nagar's chaotic lanes.
Fleet/commercial users — the CNG variants are popular with Ola/Uber drivers in Chennai. At ₹1–1.3 per km running cost, it's hard to find a better earning machine.
Second car families — the household already has an SUV for trips, but needs something light and efficient for the daily school drop-off and grocery run.
Which Variant?
Best Starting Point: XT Petrol — ₹7.04 L
Gets you the 7" touchscreen, steering-mounted controls, all four power windows, and a decent audio system. This is where the Tiago stops feeling "basic" and starts feeling "smart buy." Under ₹8.7L on-road.
Best CNG Value: XT CNG — ₹8.13 L
Same features as the XT Petrol, plus factory-fitted CNG with full warranty. If you drive 80+ km a day, this pays for the CNG premium within a year.
Fully Loaded: XZ+ Petrol — ₹8.17 L
Projector headlamps, alloy wheels, rear parking camera, automatic climate control, and connected car tech. Under ₹10.3L on-road for a complete package.
For Rough Roads: XZ NRG Petrol — ₹8.06 L
If your daily route includes the pothole-ridden roads near Velachery or Medavakkam, the extra 11 mm of ground clearance and the cladding protection make the NRG the practical choice.
