Tata Motors is on a roll. Even as the Nexon, its first-ever compact SUV, has entered the Top 5 UVs chart for the first time, its popular Tiago hatchback has recorded a new milestone in its monthly sales.

Since the launch in April 2016, we have sold over 170,000 units and it is the only product in the hatchback segment which is still registering a strong growth despite being in its third year of production. We are confident that with the introduction of newer models such as the recently-launched Tiago NRG, the brand will continue to thrive in the foreseeable future.”
