Safety 

As the Tiago is the safest car in the segment with 4 star Global NCAP rating, the NRG variant is likely to carry the same safety features to that of the current Tiago. The car will be equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, seat-belt warning, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill-hold control, brake assist, speed-sensing door lock and child-safety lock. 

Pricing and rivals

Talking about its rivals, the Tiago NRG will face direct competition from raised hatchback crossovers like the Celerio X, Ford FreeStyle and the Honda WRV.
