Tata Motors officially unveiled their highly anticipated Tigor compact sedan at an event in Delhi. At the event, Tata not only showcased the Tigor in its full glory but also released all the vital details of the car. Well, we know almost everything about the Tigor except the launch details and most importantly, the price. Since the event has been organised for a media drive, therefore we shall have to wait for the remaining stuff! Previously, Tata had showcased the Special Edition of the Tigor at the Geneva Motor Show 2017.
Speaking of the details of the all new Tata Tigor, the compact sedan will be available in two engine options – petrol and diesel. The engine options are the same as seen for the Tiago hatchback.
Diesel Power will come from Revotorq 1.05L motor that is capable of producing 70PS at 4,000 rpm and 140 Nm of peak torque between 1,800 and 3,000rpm. This 1,047 cc unit will be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Speaking of the petrol engine, the Tigor will be available with a Revotron 1.2L 3 cylinder engine coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This engine makes 85PS at 6,000rpm and 114Nm of max torque at 3,500 rpm. The dimensions of both the versions will be the same. The Tigor is 3,992mm long, 1,677mm wide, and 1,537mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 2,450mm, and 170mm of ground clearance.
There is a difference in kerb weight, and the tyre size though. The Tigor diesel weighs at 1130kg (kerb weight) whereas the Tigor Petrol tips the weighing scale at 1062kg (kerb weight). The tyre size of the diesel and petrol versions are 175/65 R14 and 175/60 R15 respectively.
