Tata Aeris User Reviews

The Tata Aeris comes with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol that is also offered with a factory-fitted CNG kit. It is the same engine as the Tigor's and the Tiago's, and power goes to the front wheels. As per our review, it is peppy enough for everyday driving, but it sounds coarse above 2,500rpm.
