New Tata Tiago Hits a Solid Metal Gate, Suffers Minimal Damage

Tata Tiago is among the popularly known entry-level hatchbacks in the Indian market. It rivals with the likes of Hyundai Santro and Maruti WagonR. Early this year, the automaker introduced the new facelift model of the car with a few cosmetic and feature updates. It is the most affordable car in the automaker’s stable. Tata cars are popularly known around the country for their robust built quality. The entry-level hatchback has scored 4-star rating at the Global NCAP crash test. Earlier, we’ve covered various Tiago accidents on our website, which clearly shows that how reliable Tata Tiago really is.

Here we have a few clips of one such Tata Tiago which has hit a strong metal gate. This video has been uploaded by the YouTube channel of one Prateek Singh. Talking about the mishap, this is the 2020 facelift model of the Tiago, which belongs to Mr Deepanshu Dubey. The vlogger says that Deepanshu was driving the 2020 Tiago alone at night and was maintaining a speed between 40 to 45 kmph. Suddenly, a big buffalo came in his way and to avoid crashing into the animal, Deepanshu quickly turned the steering wheel of the car to the right and hit a solid metal gate. After looking at the condition of the metal gate, the accident seems to be quite severe, but the Tata hatchback has suffered some minimal damages. The accident has damaged the front right headlamp along with the front bumper, bonnet and grille. The overall damage is quite low and can get repaired easily. 

The Tata Tiago derives power from a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine which puts out 84bhp of peak power and 113 Nm of twisting force. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed MT or a 5-speed AMT, depending on the model you pick. The hatchback is retailed at a starting price of Rs 4.68 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and goes all the way up to Rs 6.72 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Furthermore, it is offered in six distinctive colour shade options.
