In terms of market distribution, the Tiago performs well in both urban and rural areas. Urban markets account for 60% of its sales, while the remaining 40% come from rural markets.
Which power train sells more?
The Tiago is available with three choices: petrol, compressed natural gas (CNG), and electric.

The CNG variant’s sales will be limited by CNG availability across India. Tata however revealed that the electric variant, the Tiago EV, has so far sold 19458 units. The Tiago EV is India’s cheapest 4-door electric car. It received 10,000 bookings on the day of the launch.
