Tata Motors has officially launched the 2025 Tata Tiago NRG , a rugged version of its popular hatchback, designed for those who seek a compact car with an SUV-like stance. Following the recent updates to the standard Tiago and Tigor, the new Tiago NRG gets refreshed styling, enhanced features, and a streamlined variant lineup. With an aggressive design, increased ground clearance, and essential tech upgrades, the Tiago NRG offers a more adventure-ready alternative to its standard sibling. Let’s dive into what makes the updated Tiago NRG stand out.


Pricing and Variants
The biggest change in the new Tata Tiago NRG lineup is the removal of the entry-level XT variant. The updated NRG is now available only in the fully loaded XZ trim. Prices start at Rs 7.2 lakh and go up to Rs 8.75 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the powertrain.

The Tiago NRG is priced approximately Rs 30,000 higher than the standard Tiago, offering buyers the option of petrol, CNG, and automatic or manual transmissions. The car is powered by Tata’s reliable 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering 86 hp in petrol mode and 73 hp in CNG mode. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 5-speed AMT.


Design and Exterior Updates
The Tiago NRG continues to stand apart from the standard Tiago with its rugged styling. It now gets newly designed silver skid plates on both front and rear bumpers, enhancing its off-road appeal. The car also features refreshed 15-inch wheel covers for the steel wheels, adding to its bold stance.

Further distinguishing itself, the Tiago NRG boasts prominent black body cladding on the sides, black roof rails, and an NRG emblem on the tailgate, reinforcing its adventure-ready persona. The overall aesthetics give it a sportier and more muscular presence compared to the regular Tiago.


Interior and Feature Upgrades
Inside, the Tiago NRG retains the same interior layout as the standard Tiago XZ trim but comes with an all-black cabin theme that enhances its sporty appeal. The 2025 update brings several premium features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A digital instrument cluster, illuminated flat-bottom steering wheel, and auto headlights and wipers further add to the premium feel.

Comfort and convenience features include a cooled glovebox, rear camera, and steering-mounted controls. The car also comes with a shark fin antenna, 4-speaker audio system, and ISOFIX child seat mounts, making it a well-rounded package for family buyers.

Enhanced Safety Features
Tata Motors continues to focus on safety, and the Tiago NRG is no exception. The car comes equipped with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors as standard. Additional features include an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Hold Control (HHC), a rear defogger, and 3-point ELR seat belts with reminders for all passengers. These features make the Tiago NRG one of the safest hatchbacks in its segment.

Features Missing from the Tiago XZ Plus
While the new Tiago NRG is feature-rich, it does miss out on some premium additions found in the higher-end Tiago XZ Plus variant. These include 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, front fog lamps, a rear wiper with washer, cruise control, a USB Type-C port, and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). However, the NRG compensates for these omissions with its rugged design and adventure-oriented upgrades.


The 2025 Tata Tiago NRG is a compelling choice for those who want a hatchback with a tough, SUV-inspired look and added practicality. With its rugged design, enhanced safety features, and premium cabin, the Tiago NRG continues to be a unique offering in the budget-friendly crossover hatchback segment. Priced slightly above the regular Tiago, it caters to buyers looking for a stylish and capable urban commuter with a touch of adventure.

For those in the market for a compact yet robust hatchback, the updated Tiago NRG certainly makes a strong case for itself.
