The Tata Tiago has been a game changer for the homegrown carmaker and has played a crucial role in the turnaround of the brand's passenger vehicle business since its launch. In the past, the hatchback garnered a strong response from smaller towns and rural markets and same goes for the Tata Tiago NRG. The previous BS4 version of the crosshatch which was based on the pre-facelift Tiago accounted for 10 per cent of Tiago's overall sales in its brief period and was well accepted in rural markets, courtesy its rugged looks and better ground clearance that was an aid in tackling rough roads. And Tata Motors is now expecting the new 2021 Tata Tiago NRG to build up on that demand.

Speaking to carandbike, Vivek Srivatsa, Head of Marketing Passenger Cars - Tata Motors said, "We saw a spreadout demand both from the larger towns and smaller towns, where buyers preferred the Tiago NRG where the perception was that it can manage the roads better. So we see potential in that part of the geography as well. In the brief period it was alive, we saw a very good demand in the smaller towns and in the bigger towns as well. It has the ease of driving, fuel efficiency and even the pricing of a hatch, and at the same time it gives the semblance of confidence to go into the place where other hatch might not go. We think it provides a very good mix of features and giving the marketing mind behind it, we think the product will grow and I am sure that other competitors will also follow."
