Update 29/3/2017: Tata Tigor Launched at Rs 4.70 Lakh
Good news has surfaced for all those waiting for the Tiago-based sedan. Home-grown automaker Tata Motors has confirmed that the Tata Tigor will launch in India on March 29, 2017. Test mules of the Tigor have been spotted on several occasions over the past few months and the company itself released a sketch in February this year. Thereafter, Tigor images that include interior and exterior design, dimensions like front, rear and side view have been released.
The Tigor is surely one of the most anticipated cars to make its way to Tata showrooms. Tata Motors has tagged the Tigor as a Styleback. Like the Tiago, which has been a success for the company, the Tigor will carry Tata Motor’s new Impact design language. However, similarities between the two cars will run much deeper than just the exterior looks.
Slated to create a new segment in the industry, the Tigor will share most of its underpinnings with the Tiago. That means it will be offered with the same 1.2-litre petrol engine (85PS/114Nm) and 1.05-litre diesel motor (70PS/140Nm). Both the engines will come paired with a five-speed manual transmission and, like the recently launched Tiago AMT, the Tigor is also expected to get a variant with automated manual transmission.
On the inside, it is likely to be just as feature-rich as the Tiago. The equipment list includes ConnectNext infotainment system by Harman with eight-speaker sound system, GPS navigation support via Navi Maps, cooled glovebox, two drive modes (Eco and City), dual-tone interior upholstery, dual airbags, ABS with EBD and corner stability control. Prices for the Tigor are expected to start around Rs 4.5 lakh and it is likely to overlap a couple of top-end variants of the hatchback it is based on.
