The Tata Tiago and Maruti Alto 800 may come from different periods in the evolution of India\u2019s affordable hatchback segment, but both vehicles may feature in the same list of options for buyers in search of a budget automobile. The Tata Tiago that is available today is much bigger and more potent than any version that debuted earlier and is being offered in 4 fuel options, including petrol, CNG, manual and AMT. On the other hand, the Alto 800 was discontinued in 2023 and therefore has only used-car relevance nowadays. When new, the petrol variant was expected to provide a distance of 22.05 km\/l, while the corresponding figures for earlier modifications of the Tiago petrol are around 19 km\/l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Real-world mileage follows a similar pattern in petrol form. The Alto 800\u2019s small engine and very light body make it more economical, while the Tiago uses more fuel but offers considerably more power, stronger highway ability and better all-round versatility. CNG changes the equation, however, because the current Tiago CNG has delivered exceptional mileage in recent testing. So, the right answer depends on whether you are comparing petrol economy, CNG running costs or overall usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
