Retention table
| After | Retained | Retail value | Trade-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 77% | R 142 743 | R 125 614 |
| 3 years | 59% | R 109 662 | R 96 503 |
| 5 years | 46% | R 84 248 | R 74 138 |
| 7 years | 34% | R 63 329 | R 55 730 |
| 10 years | 22% | R 41 272 | R 36 319 |
Estimates for a new purchase at R 184 900; retail basis, trade-in ≈ 12% under retail.
Spearhead of Tata's 2025 return, priced from R184,900 to undercut nearly every rival hatch. A 1.2 petrol with manual or AMT keeps the recipe simple. Resale is unproven, so the brand's second act rests heavily on it.
