Tata Motors will soon launch a new cross-hatch version of its top-selling model, Tata Tiago. Christened the Tata Tiago NRG, it's very similar to what Maruti Suzuki did with Celerio X, giving the hatchback car a trendy, crossover-ish treatment. Incidentally, Tata Motors recently sent out a media invite for a press conference slated for September 12, and we suspect the new Tiago NRG will be launched on the same day. Now, ahead of the Tata Tiago NRG's launch, a bunch of images and specifications of the car have surfaced online. Tata will be positioning it as an 'Urban Toughroader'.

Visually, the Tata Tiago NRG will come with a bunch of new exterior styling and equipment which help achieve that crossover look. For instance, the car comes with thick black cladding for the bumpers, side skirts and wheel arches, black roof rails, and faux silver skid plate for the rear bumper. Other exterior features include - blacked-out grille and air dam, glossy black ORVMs with integrated turn indicators, new 14-inch four-spoke dual tone alloy wheels, a larger roof-mounted spoiler with integrated brake lights, and a thick black cladding for the tailgate. The Tiago NRG will be available in 3 dual-tone colour options - Malabar Silver, Canyon Orange, and Fuji White.

In terms of dimensions, the Tata Tiago NRG is now marginally longer than the standard Tiago, at 3793 mm and it's also slightly wider and taller at 1,665 mm and 1,587 mm respectively, these are of course, mainly because of the additional cladding and body kits that we see on the car. The wheelbase, on the other hand, remains unchanged at 2,400 mm, but Tata has increased the ground clearance of the Tiago NRG to 180 mm.
