Tata Tigor Launched At Rs 5.20 Lakh

Tata Motors has launched the 2018 Tigor facelift in India with prices starting at Rs 5.20 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. Tata has also introduced a new top-end variant called XZ+ which slots above the XZ (O).

The prices of the new Tigor, ex-showroom India, are as follows:

Diesel

XE - Rs 6.09 lakh
XM - Rs 6.41 lakh
XZ - Rs 6.84 lakh
XZ+ - Rs 7.38 lakh

Petrol

XE - Rs 5.20 lakh
XM - Rs 5.55 lakh
XZ - Rs 5.95 lakh
XZ+ - Rs 6.49 lakh
XZA - Rs 6.65 lakh

The new Tigor comes with an updated front fascia. Headlamp design has been tweaked and a projector lamp has been added to the mix as well. The front grille now gets a chrome outline along with a chrome strip on the bumper and chrome fog lamp surrounds.

The taillamp design too has been tweaked and now features LEDs with clear lens setup.

Also new is an auto-folding exterior mirrors, available on the XZ+ variants.

Inside, you get a larger 7.0-inch touchscreen compared to the 5.0-inch unit in the old car. The system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Tata is also offering dual front airbags as standard on the new Tigor, while ABS+EBD and corner stability control are offered from the XZ variant onwards. Rear parking sensors are also being offered from the XZ variant onwards, though a reversing camera has been reserved for the top-of-the-line XZ+ variants only.

There is, however, no change to the Tigor’s powertrains. It will continue to be powered by a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder Revotron petrol engine and 1.05-litre 3-cylinder Revotorq diesel engine. The petrol engine will be available with both 5-speed manual and AMT gearboxes, while the diesel comes with a 5-speed manual only.

At Rs 5.20 lakh to Rs 7.38 lakh, in terms of pricing, it competes directly with the recently launched Ford Aspire. However, with its aggressive pricing, it will try to dissuade customers from going for established players like the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the Honda Amaze.
