2026 Tata Tiago Variant Wise Features Explained: Smart, Pure, Pure Plus, Pure Plus A, Creative And Creative Plus


The Tata Tiago has been around for a decade now, and has soldiered on with a couple of midlife refreshes. The first update came in early 2020 and Tata has now given the hatchback its second refresh. With the latest revision, the Tata hatchback not only gets a fresh design inside and out along with some additional features, it also comes in a new variant lineup. It is now available in a total of six variants: Smart, Pure, Pure Plus, Pure Plus A, Creative and Creative Plus. In this story, let’s take a look at its variant-wise features on offer:

  • The new Tata Tiago comes with a handful of additional styling and feature upgrades on the exterior compared to the older model. These include multi-reflector LED headlights, 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and LED tail lights.

  • However, if you were to pick the base-spec Smart variant, the Tiago misses out on plenty of styling details and comes with just the basics such as halogen headlights, 13-inch steel wheels without covers, and black door handles. That said, the new Tiago does get LED tail lights right from the base variant.

  • Moving up the ladder brings ORVM-mounted turn indicators, LED headlights with LED DRLs, LED front fog lamps, and a shark fin antenna.

  • The fully loaded Creative Plus is the only variant in the new Tiago’s lineup to be offered with the option of a dual-tone paint shade. You can check out our ‘variant-wise colour options on offer’ story to pick the new Tiago in your preferred paint shade.
