The upcoming hot hatch from Tata Motors, the Tiago JTP has been spotted by an IndianAutosBlog reader. The new Tata Tiago JTP is undergoing high-altitude testing on the Nilgiri mountains.
The Tata Tiago JTP is a performance variant of the hatchback and was first showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. The hot hatch is actually a by-product of the partnership between Tata Motors and the Coimbatore based Jayem Automotives.
The Tiago JTP will be powered by a 1.2-litre Revotron turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine which is said to deliver 110 PS at 5000 rpm and 150 Nm of torque bewteen 2000-4000 rpm. This motor will be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
To distinguish the performance variant from the regular car, the designers have given the Tata Tiago JTP a sporty look by adding new front bumper with larger vents and smoked projector headlamps. The car also gets vents on the hood and fenders along with a sleek looking side skirt. The rear bumper has also been redesigned and now houses a faux diffuser.
The Tata Tiago JTP spotted on test seems to be running on 15-inch matte grey alloy wheels wrapped with wider tyres. The car will also be lowered by around 33 mm to enhance the driving dynamics.
While the test car does not feature them, other changes that the Tiago JTP production model might sport could include a gloss black roof and roof spoiler along with red painted outside rear view mirrors.
Inside, the Tata Tiago JTP will be similar to the normal variant but will sport an all-black look along with some additional features such as aluminium pedals red accents on the air vents, red stitching on the seats, steering wheel and gear stick cover.
The hot hatch is also expected to be equipped with the Harman infotainment system, dual front airbags, next-gen ABS with EBD and Corner stability control. Tata Motors will also launche the Tigor JTP variant along with the Tiago JTP
