Tata’s latest compact sedan, the Tigor, is based on the Tiago with much of its design and interior shared with its hatchback sibling.
The front-end design of the Tigor is similar to the Tiago but with a few minor differences, while from the B-pillar that styling is all new. The rear doors are new, the roofline is steeply raked, and the neatly integrated boot and the flowing C-pillar give the car an almost coupé-like profile.
The interiors too bear a strong resemblance to the Tiago's but with a lower-set rear seat to improve headroom, a more reclined rear backrest and larger integrated headrests.
Powering the Tigor is the same family of three-cylinder petrol and diesel engines that debuted in the Tiago. The petrol motor is the 85hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated Revotron unit while the diesel unit is the 70hp, 1.05-litre Revotorq engine. Both units come paired with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard.
The Tiago is available in four variants –XE, XT, XZ and XZ (O) – in both petrol and diesel guises. Here is the equipment you get on each variant:
