Tata's New Hatchback Zica Now Renamed Tiago
- Thread Starter THE XOVER

- Status
After 5 long weeks from booking date, my Tiago XZ Petrol was ready for PDI. Thanks to TAI and this forum for the exhaustive PDI checklist, though I could not perform all of them during the limited time I had.
Odometer reads just 12 KMs. Check!
Car is from latest production batch. G->2016 and E->May. Check!
Good Year Assurance tires. Small rubber needles noted. Check!
Tires manufactured in 18th week of 2016, i.e., 1st week of May. Check!
Spare wheel was also Good Year.
Under the hood. Fired up the Revotron and noticed it dancing around in the bay. However, most of it is filtered out inside the cabin (at least to me). Check!
First aid kit and manuals in Glove Box.
Now for the glitches:
Parcel tray holder was not in place. Asked them to put it back before delivery as this didn't look like a big issue to me.
Rear right door had visible white spots that appeared to be paint but it came off with a slightly firm wipe with bare hands. Asked this to be cleaned too.
No noticeable panel mis-alignments. As with most display cars I checked, quarter panel is slightly outward from the front doors when sliding my palm over that panel gap. I guess I will live with it.
Other Tiago's lined up waiting for their owners![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
Didn't spend much time on interiors/seats as they were wrapped in plastic covers from factory. Overall, I am satisfied with my Tiago and made the payment for registration process. Expecting delivery next week!![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")

Congrats buddy plz post delivery experience and ownership review. I saw a blue and orange Tiago in chennai it was looking like well dressed handsome dude on road, and at signal it was star attraction. I noticed owner was feeling proud of his new babe generating so much attraction.
So finally 100 Tiagos delivered in Chennai at a grand function. 86 were petrol and 15 were diesel (total is 101) .
Majority were XZ variants.
Tata Tiago delivered to first 100 customers in Chennai | ET Auto

Am amazed to think about 100 cars together roaming in one city and the kind of attentions they will garner. This will surely generate positive vibe towards car and the brand.
Sales will come.

Got these from my SA who claims this happened in a hill station (Ooty, Tamil Nadu) at 60 ish KMPH. Appears to have hit a pole. Unfortunate for a brand new car to go through this.
Quite a nasty hit, and the Tiago's safety kit has worked big time, hope the occupants were safe.
Thanks for sharing.

I must say, Tiago has taken the hit very well and I am happy that Tata has not compromised on safety![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
. I was scared by seeing the latest NCAP crash results of few Indian cars. Happy to note that, Tiago's body shell is intact after the hit, which ensures that the occupants wearing seat belts may suffer only minimum injuries.

Well tiago has taken the hit very well, though no ncap test has been done on Taigo looking at this accident and that there is no deformation of any other side fenders I am mighty impressed with Tiagos build quality and structural strength.
Airbags deployed so dashboard has to be changed, bonnet has to be changed front bumper to be changed. glass broken that has to be chnaged. rest all intact.
Great engineering i would say.

During the local launching of Tiago in Ahmedabad the engineer from Tata said they have tested the car in their own testing facility and it is compliant to up coming safety norms without any alterations.
