Waiting period of best-selling cars in India: Tata Tiago, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Renault Kwid, others

Check out the availability, waiting period and bookings details of India's current hot-sellers.

As the demand for the newly released models climb a record high in the Indian auto market, the dealers of the companies are struggling to keep up with the scaling demand. Launched a couple of months back, Maruti Suzuki's Vitara Brezza and Tata Motors Tiago hatchback continue to enjoy the momentum and the interesting bit is that not just these models, Renault Kwid and the Maruti Suzuki Baleno hatchback, which made its entry last year, are also struggling to meet the demand.

Tata Tiago

The Tiago, the newest addition in Tata Motors' line-up, is labelled as one of the best offerings of the company in the passenger car segment with value-for money features. The car has been creating ripples in the auto industry since its launch in April and has received over 23,000 bookings so far. The deliveries of the Tiago were not on the right track since from the beginning and it seems like it is still not. The Tiago continues to have three months waiting period in most part of the country and it is not surprising that in some parts of the country it is beyond that.

The Tiago, Tata's first offering to be based on its Impact design language, is offered in both petrol and diesel engine options. It comes powered by 1.2-litre three-cylinder Revotron petrol and 1.0-litre three-cylinder Revotorq diesel mills. While the petrol mill churns out 83.8bhp of power at 6,000rpm and 114Nm of torque at 3,500rpm, the 1.05- diesel engine produces 69bhp of power 4,000rpm and 140Nm of torque at 1,800-3,000rpm. Both the engines come mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Tiago claims to deliver a mileage of 23.84 kmpl for petrol and 27.28 kmpl for diesel.
