Tata Tiago bookings exceed 23,000, waiting period stands up to 3 months

Tata Motors' Tiago, the latest hatchback launched in April, has been doing healthy sales with monthly unit averaging over 3,000 units. Now the first hatchback bearing Impact design language of the company has reportedly crossed bookings of 23,000.

According to a report in ET Auto, in its third month, the Tiago outsells every other model from the Tata stable. International Business Times, India also got the confirmed news that the waiting period for the Tiago currently stands up to three months.

Out of total bookings, about 80 percent are for the petrol variants of the Tiago. The petrol variants are priced in the range of Rs. 3.2 lakh to Rs. 4.75 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. At that price point, the Tiago makes a compelling case and the increased bookings underline it.

Riding on the Tiago, Tata Motors regained the third position in the passenger cars segment of the first quarter of FY2017, behind Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, reports the Hindu BusinessLine. Tata Motors also posted 100 percent growth in the hatchback segment in June. The Tiago registered a sale of 3,022 units in the launch month and 3,287 units in May. In June, 4,205 units were sold, making the Tiago the first model in Tata's stable to exceed the monthly sales figure of 4,000 units in the past two years.
