This is the most asked question these days and the Tiago is clearly unbeatable when it comes to the value proposition. I'd say go for the Tiago as it saves you a lot more on initial investment and you don't have to worry that much about resale as generally the Ford's petrol and hyundai's metrol models don't have much of a resale value as say like, a Maruti's petrol vehicle. Grand i10 is ready to be facelifted soon so better to postpone the purchase for a little but longer if you are stuck on that. Figo is excellent value but again, not as much as the Tiago. Tiago is reported to have a 3-4 month waiting period(unheard of for a TATA Car) for the 1.2L Revotron petrol variant. so if you can't wait that long, get a Figo. else book for the Tiago and wait. The grand i10 facelift will be out by then so you can decide whether to stick on or cancel the booking and get the Hyundai instead. I am quoting the posts for easy reference. Regards...

Hi All,
I am planning to buy a new petrol car (Sedan/ Hatchback) within a budget of 6 Lakhs. I am pampered for options with Ford Figo, Honda Amaze and the like. Please help me in identifying the best petrol car under the 6 Lakh segment.
Currently, the best value-for-money proposition in the Rs 4-6 lakh segment is surprisingly the TATA Tiago. The top-end trim costs under Rs 5 lakh rupees ex-showroom and the kit that you get for that money is simply spectacular. That is also the reason why this little car has a 3-4 month waiting period which is surprising for a TATA car. 80% of the bookings have been for the 1.2L petrol model. You get some unique features like height adjustable driver seat, Harmon Kardon music system with navigation, ABS+EBD , 2 Airbags , same power output as the Maruti Suzuki Swift yet 1 cylinder less so more fuel efficiency, and what not. The money you save upfront on purchase can be used for buying petrol for a long time too. The car offers terrific value for money. Take a look at the indepth review by [URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/20-nikilsj"]NikilSJ[/URL] to get a clear image of the Tiago and a test drive will tell if you like it or not.

Other options are the Swift VXI(O) model and the Figo 1.2 TITANIUM (due to the recent price cut) variants both of which comes under your budget ex-showroom but significantly higher than the Tiago and offers less kit. But if you don't want to buy a TATA car, then the Figo is the best option as a fully loaded car than the Swift, but the Swift is still the better car to drive when it comes to petrol. The 1.2 Figo does not feel as punchy or quick unlike its diesel model which feels like a pocket rocket (1.5D). The Amaze is available only on the base model given your budget. So doesn't unless you want the boot, better give this a miss and look at the Figo Aspire compact sedan (Figo Aspire TITANIUM comes in 5.99 lakhs ex showroom, Trend(mid model) is 5.76 lakhs (ex-delhi). Attaching the new ford Figo and Aspire prices below for reference). Regards...[IMG]https://media.zigcdn.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=16605&d=1472455616&type=full[/IMG]

Hey [URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/6864-nithinbharadwaj"]nithinbharadwaj[/URL], I'd go with Joy's suggestion. The Tiago is indeed a great value-for-money package, especially the top-end XZ variant. It offers features that even hatchbacks and compact sedans a segment above don't. On the top-end variant, you get dual-airbags, ABS and something which Tata calls Corner Stability Control (brakes the inner wheels while taking a corner to offer more stability). I was very impressed with the Tiago's ride quality and handling as it is neither too stiff nor too soft and ideal for the city. The steering is light enough to manoeuvre in tight parking spots. The top-end even comes with rear parking sensors. The Harman Kardon system is a thing of wonder as it delivers awesome sound quality through the four speakers and four tweeter setup. The seats are comfortable and the driver's seat even gets height adjustment. However, the only thing that stands in the Tiago's way is the Tata brand name and the perception that Tata cars are unreliable and difficult to maintain. If that puts you off, I suggest you look at the Ford Figo Trend variant. It comes with all the safety features you'd need in a hatchback and doesn't cost a bomb. If you need extra space to carry your luggage, then the Figo Aspire is the default choice. However, the 1.2-litre engine is not for enthusiastic driving. It is adequate for city driving but highway drives requires a bit of effort.

Hyundai India seems to be readying a facelift for the Grand i10 hatchback.Testmules are spotted on the Chennai-Bangalore Highway and have surfaced on the Internet thanks to the prying eyes of enthusiasts.The hatchback was launched back in 2013 and it is due time for a ~3 year mid life facelift like with all hyundai cars.

The hatchback segment is facing intense competition and with the launch of the Tiago,some drastic measures was in order.In the above image we can see a restyled Diamond cut alloy wheels and camoflaged front and rear giving us an idea that the car will come with a restyled front and rear end.Although we cant see through it,DRL's may be included since the Swift already has it.We saw DRL's being added to the Elite i20 at a later date which was earlier available only with the i20 Active.

We can see a sneak peek of the restyle front grille in the picture above and it looks better and fresh than the outgoing model for sure.

The Interiors of the car is also taped down.So expect a new redesigned center fascia with the inclusion of a touch screen with navigation like the i20/Active/Creta or atleast just a bigger color screen stereo.The built quality of the Grand i10 was always best in the segment and we hope it would continue the same way.

There may be not be any engine change and the car will continue to get the 1.1L 3 Cylinder CRDi Turbo Diesel and the 1.2L 4 Cylinder Kappa2 Petrol engine.There could be a small bump in power to the CRDi motor to aid in better city drivability and highway ride.From the pictures it seems the car is ready with official production tags on the side.We can expect the launch later this year but no official words are out as of now.
