Tata Motors has officially launched the 2025 edition of its rugged hatchback—the Tata Tiago NRG. With refreshed styling, updated features, and expanded powertrain options, the new Tiago NRG continues to be a compelling choice for buyers seeking a blend of sporty design and everyday usability. Starting at ₹7.2 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2025 Tiago NRG is now available in both petrol and CNG variants, making it more versatile than ever.
🚗 What’s New in the 2025 Tiago NRG?
The 2025 model year brings a host of cosmetic and feature upgrades to the Tiago NRG. While the mechanicals remain unchanged, Tata has focused on enhancing the car’s appeal through design tweaks and added tech.
Key exterior updates include:
- Redesigned front and rear bumpers with matte black cladding
- Thicker silver skid plates for a more rugged look
- Black roof rails and ORVMs for contrast styling
- 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels for a sportier stance
These changes give the Tiago NRG a crossover-inspired aesthetic, making it stand out from the standard Tiago and other hatchbacks in its segment.
🛋️ Interior Enhancements
Inside, the Tiago NRG receives subtle but meaningful upgrades:
- New steering wheel design borrowed from Tata’s premium models
- Updated instrument cluster with improved readability
- 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Voice command support and USB Type-C charging port
The cabin retains its dual-tone black and grey theme, with fabric upholstery and textured inserts that add to the rugged charm. Despite its compact dimensions, the Tiago NRG offers ample space for five passengers and a practical boot for daily errands or weekend getaways.
⚙️ Powertrain Options: Petrol and CNG
The 2025 Tiago NRG continues to be powered by Tata’s reliable 1.2-litre, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine:
- Petrol variant: 86 PS and 113 Nm of torque
- CNG variant: Slightly lower output at 73 PS and 95 Nm
Both versions are now available with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the petrol variant also offers a 5-speed AMT for added convenience. Notably, Tata has introduced an AMT option for the CNG variant as well, making it one of the few cars in India to offer this combination.
💰 Pricing and Variants
Tata has streamlined the Tiago NRG lineup by offering it exclusively in the XZ trim, eliminating the entry-level XT variant. This means buyers get a well-equipped package right from the start.
- Petrol Manual: ₹7.2 lakh
- Petrol AMT: ₹7.75 lakh
- CNG Manual: ₹8.2 lakh
- CNG AMT: ₹8.75 lakh
These prices position the Tiago NRG competitively against rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Celerio X and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.
🛡️ Safety and Reliability
Safety remains a strong suit for Tata Motors, and the Tiago NRG is no exception. It comes equipped with:
- Dual airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Corner Stability Control
- Rear parking sensors
- High-speed alert system
The Tiago platform has previously scored well in Global NCAP crash tests, giving buyers added peace of mind.
🌍 Urban Explorer with a Rugged Soul
The Tiago NRG is designed for those who want a hatchback that can handle rough roads, speed bumps, and occasional offbeat adventures. Its raised ground clearance (177 mm), protective cladding, and skid plates make it more resilient than typical city cars.
Whether you’re navigating congested city streets or heading out for a weekend escape, the Tiago NRG offers a confident and comfortable ride.
🧭 Final Thoughts
The 2025 Tata Tiago NRG is a smart evolution of a proven formula. By adding new features, refining the design, and expanding transmission options—especially in the CNG variant—Tata has made the NRG more appealing to a wider audience.
It’s a car that doesn’t try to be an SUV but borrows just enough ruggedness to feel adventurous. For urban dwellers who want a bit of edge in their daily drive, the Tiago NRG delivers style, substance, and value in equal measure.
