Tata Tigor

The Tigor is Tata Motors’ sub-4 metre sedan, mainly known for its 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP. It shares its platform with the Tiago hatchback and should be in your consideration if you’re eyeing a decently spacious sub-4-metre sedan with a practical CNG option. 

The Tata Tigor first went on sale in 2017 and got a mid-life update in 2020 during its BS6 update. In 2025, Tata Motors made minor changes to keep up with the times. Despite its age, I would say the Tata Tigor has aged gracefully and doesn’t look dated in front of modern rivals. 

Its fascia features a sleek grille with contrasting silver-coloured elements for a sharp look. The addition of LED projector headlights gives it a modern look. Lower down, the bumper gets plenty of cuts and creases and comes with halogen fog lamps as well as LED DRLs.

The side profile hasn’t seen many changes ever since the Tigor’s launch. We feel the integration of the boot has been done in a clean manner and doesn’t look like an extra addition to a hatchback. Also, the 15-inch dual-tone alloys give it a purposeful stance, and splashes of chrome give it some bling. 

At the rear, the Tigor gets LED tail lamps with clear lenses, giving it a unique look. There is a thick chrome strip connecting the tail lamps that round off the overall design.

You can buy the Tata Tigor in five colour options: Supernova Copper, Meteor Bronze, Arizona Blue, Daytona Grey and Pristine White. I personally would recommend the Supernova Copper and Arizona Blue for their rich finish. 

There’s no getting away from the fact that the Tata Tigor is getting old when you step inside the cabin. Yes, the recent MY2025 update saw the addition of the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (largest in its segment) and a 2-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated logo. But these two elements don’t really help with the fact that the Tigor requires an update.

The dashboard is predominantly finished in hard plastics, which are of good quality. While fit and finish are consistent for most of the parts, some areas lower down in the dashboard could’ve been better. That said, the brown and beige colour scheme does give the interior a unique vibe. 

As for space, the Tata Tigor can fit four occupants in decent comfort. Two six-footers can manage to sit back to back, but anyone taller than that and legroom will be a tad tight. Also, the rear seat is best for two occupants and a kid, considering the cabin’s width is on the narrower side.

Features

The Tata Tigor checks most of the boxes in this department. Highlights include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, a crisp-sounding 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, cruise control, keyless entry with push button start and auto-folding ORVMs.

While it would satisfy most users, rivals offer a tad more niceties in the form of a wireless phone charger and a sunroof.

The Tata Tigor secured a 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP back in 2021.

It comes with safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control (ESC), auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). 

While it’s a decent amount of kit, rivals have set the bar high with six airbags as standard and even a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The Tata Tigor offers a boot space of 419 litres, which is one of the largest in its segment. It can comfortably accommodate one small and one medium-sized suitcase with enough space for some soft bags.

Notably, if you opt for the CNG variants, you don’t have to compromise much on boot space, courtesy of Tata’s twin-cylinder CNG tech.

The Tata Tigor is offered with a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with an optional CNG kit. You can check out the detailed specifications here: 

The Tata Tigor offers satisfactory performance for most users in town. It’s a car that will take you from point A to point B in decent comfort. But if you want something with more spirited performance, then the Tigor might not be for you. Highway performance is average, and you might need to work the engine hard to execute an overtake or climb up slopes, especially with a full load. 

But one unique aspect the Tigor offers is the availability of CNG with the AMT option. This blends lower running costs with convenience.

The Tata Tigor is offered in five variants: XM, XT, XZ, XZ Plus and XZ Plus Lux. Notably, the top-end variant can be had with a CNG option, albeit only with the manual gearbox. The price of the Tata Tigor ranges from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 9.55 lakh (ex-showroom).
