Tata, who has been the pioneer of the sub-four metre segment in India, had built their all-new compact sedan on the Tiago platform. Called the Tigor, it was introduced in the Indian market in 2015 and is now due for an update. The Tigor facelift will be launched on 10 October and will get revised design.
The new Tigor will continue with the same body shell but we can expect the grille to be a little bolder and the bumpers sculpted for more aggression. It will get projector headlamps and clear-lens LED tail lamps, with the latter being s segment first. A new alloy design will be certainly welcome.
Inside, the cabin layout and the dashboard will remain the same and you can expect the infotainment touchscreen system to be revised with features like Android Auto and Apple Car play along with MirrorLink. It will continue to get the power windows, power steering, air conditioning, electric mirrors and all the existing features along with a couple of probable additions.
Under the hood, expect the Tigor to continue with the same set of engines – the 1.05 litre diesel and the 1.2-litre petrol. The engines should be offered with both manual as well as AMT gearbox options to cater to the ever increasing popularity of automatics.
There might be s performance JTP version on offer as well to cater to the enthusiast segment with the 1, 2-litre mill pumping out about 120bhp of power after forced induction.
