The Tata Tigor is the automaker's third iteration of a subcompact sedan after the Indigo eCS and the Zest. The model shares its underpinnings with the very successful Tiago hatchback, which also explains the familiar front design. That said, Tata said ensured to different either models visually with the Tigor getting the slightly tweaked honey mesh grille, while the rear gets a notchback-like design language. Tata calls the Tigor a 'Styleback' and rightly so, it is one of the more good looking cars in the segment.

Some interesting elements on the Tata Tigor include the smoked headlamps with projectors, LED tail lamps and alloy wheels. The interior gets finished in a dual-tone colour scheme with 24 utility spaces, premium fabric seats, touchscreen infotainment system with MirrorLink. You also get customizable AC vent surrounds that look trendy.

The Tigor shares its underpinnings with the Tiago

The Tata Tigor shares its engine options with the Tiago. A 1.2 litre Revotron petrol and a 1.05 litre Revotorq diesel three-cylinder engines power the model. The petrol unit is tuned for 84 bhp while the diesel makes 69 bhp of power. Both units come paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Building on the success of the Tata Tiago, the Tigor is expected to be the next big volume puller for the manufacturer. Pricing will play a crucial role in the success of the sedan with prices expected in the vicinity of Rs. 4.5-6 lakh (ex-showroom), effectively making the model, one of the most affordable in its class.
