Got the no plates installed yesterday at RTO. Thing to note is there were 3 tiagos including mine for same. Soon it will be common to spot Tiago.

Tata cars are known to be tough and strong since the Indica.
The Vista had scored 3 stars with dual airbags.
Also Tata claims the Tiago to be suitable for future safety norms. So my guess is the Tiago will easily score 3 stars with dual airbags.

during my test drive of Tiago my SA specifically mentioned that Tiago has a front collision protection bar. Now if that is to be believed i do feel Tiago should be a safer car of the lot.
Additionally, i do feel TML rarely bothers to shed the wait of their cars by avoiding such important components otherwise why would have it weighted over 1000 KG even when it is smaller in dimensions when compared with Grand i10. They prefer to tune their engines for efficiency than shedding wait of their cars, and almost all the TATA cars have proven to be fairly fuel efficient.
Moreover, last year whilecoming to delhi from H.P, i had seen a Tata Indigo collision with an Innova and to my surprise Indigo while much smaller in size didn't suffer much damage on the front and it seemed to be that passengers of both the cars would have easily survived. Both the cars had suffered almost equally.

But Junta will not understand this and continue to buy tin cans at premium prices.
I feel after the crash norms are in place the cars which already adhere to them (e.g. polo, Etios etc.) will not see a price hike however for others same might not be true and they would see a price hike and weight increase, for the addition of reinforcements in the body structure.
Note: This post is not to bash any brand
There are always two type of manufacturers. One is engineering driven (like many European and American brands) and one is technology driven (Japanese, Koreans etc). There is a third category which has none and hence we won't talk about them.
Tata cars are more or less biased towards the engineering driven side and this is even more evident on their new products like Storme, Tiago, Zest, Bolt etc. These are well engineered products with some touch of technology, normally slightly better built cars are these and they won't have so called impact protection jugaads highlighted like Suzuki TECT etc. They basically have a heavier chassis and normally weigh more.
In other words, Tiago seems to be a well engineered product and I won't be surprised inncase Tiago manages to get even 4 star safety rating. Why so? Involvement of JLR teams in development and their feedback as well as the taut chassis with a good kerb weight, maybe Tiago can prove to be the safest small hatch in our country.

I got to TD the Diesel Tiago last weekend. Had test driven the Petrol one couple of weeks ago. After returning from the test drives, I had a feeling that the chasis is capable of handling much more power. It's extremely well balanced & well-weighted too. Eventhough the current set of engines are perfectly fine in terms of the segment they are catering to. But the Tiago could be offered with more powerful engines in the future, possibly in sportier avatar and at a higher price point too.
AI EXCLUSIVE: Sources close to the Sanand Plant of Tata Motors have claimed that the company has retuned the petrol #Tiago, and the new batch will get better refinement levels. This development comes after the Indian automaker received negative feedback from various auto-portals regarding vibrations in the petrol variants.
Ppl how far this new is true...?
Its seems all januvary made cars have this prblm and newly one are all tuned ones..how far is this true??
What about owners who already bought januvary batch cars??
Pls help

Well guys for my egg head brain i feel that the changes that would be done to the petrol cars would be around putting some damping materials around gear stick or may be changing bit of engine tuning and few paraphernalia around engine mounts etc. I dont think they will do a major engine remap. So much of these should be available for existing owners as well.
Unless I am completely off tangent, I dont think Tata will be foolish enough to repeat the same mistake done in prev generation cars.
Worst case they should then proactively recall all the first owners cars and do those changes as complimentary /loyalty action so that the first owners are not left high and dry.
