Tata Tiago JTP, Tigor JTP takes a dig at Maruti Swift, Dzire in official presentation

Showcased at 2018 Auto Expo earlier this year, the two new JTP twins were launched by Tata Motors a few days ago. Built for performance, Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP are the two fastest cars in the segment.

Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP are sporty, stylish, fast, and on top of all that – affordable. Both the cars are powered by the same 1.2 liter Revotron turbocharged petrol engine which also powers the Tata Nexon.

This engine will offer 114 PS peak power and 150 Nm torque between 2,000-4,000 rpm on Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP as against 85 PS and 114 Nm offered on regular variants. The engine is mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox with revised rations so as to take on the higher outputs offered while multi driving modes of City and Sport will also be offered as standard. The engine claims acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in about 10 seconds.

Being performance oriented cars, Tata Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP will also receive stiffer suspension to enhance handling while lower ride height, wider tyres and tuning for its electric power steering will also be a part of the changes. With such a package, these two cars do not have much competition. But at the time of launch, Tata compared them with Swift and Dzire.
