With the contest, Tata was able to narrow down to three names – Civet, Adore and Tiago. Of these three, Tiago was finally chosen.
The hatchback was unveiled at a media event in Goa on December 4th. The event was held after several reports which confirmed the fact that the all new Tata Tiago (Zica) was spotted undergoing real-world road tests in Pune, India.

As a replacement to Tata Indica, Tiago resembles the outgoing model quite a lot but with upgraded looks. The new model features revamped large swept back headlamps, a fresh front honeycomb pattern grille design, wide grin-like air dams along with circular fog lamps featuring chrome bezels and a new muscular bumper, giving the Tiago the much needed modern touch. Prominent lines flowing across the side, dual tone ORVMs with turn indicators and 10-spoke alloy wheels adds spice to the side profile. Based on the XO platform the car might impress a lot of hatchback lovers.
