That said, its compact-sedan sibling, the Tata Tigor, is now in line for a similar overhaul across the range.
Since its initial launch, the Tigor has always been viewed as an extended version of the Tiago.
Using the official design patent as a reference, we have created a render, and it is safe to say that the Tigor is set to receive a comprehensive exterior makeover.
One interesting aspect could be Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) pricing, something Tata Motors has already introduced with the Punch EV and, more recently, the Tiago EV.
While there is no official confirmation regarding the launch timeline, we expect the new Tigor to arrive around the festive season.
Expected to get features from the Tiago
Render based on the official design patent
Tata Motors is working on the next phase of updates following the launch of the Tiago. The entry-level hatchback has received a host of upgrades for its exterior and interior. That said, its compact-sedan sibling, the Tata Tigor, is now in line for a similar overhaul across the range.
Since its initial launch, the Tigor has always been viewed as an extended version of the Tiago. Likewise, this update is expected to borrow several design elements and technical features from its hatchback sibling.
Using the official design patent as a reference, we have created a render, and it is safe to say that the Tigor is set to receive a comprehensive exterior makeover. The biggest changes are expected at the front, with a new bumper, an updated grille pattern, and a fresh set of LED headlamps along with DRLs that are likely to be carried over directly from the Tiago.
The fascia is also expected to feature a front-facing camera as part of the 360-degree camera package, one of the highlights of the updated Tiago. Furthermore, the colour palette is likely to be revised with a range of fresh and brighter shades.
As for the cabin, there is no design patent available yet, but we expect it to feature a significantly reworked interior theme. The fabric-finish treatment first seen on the Sierra and later on the Tiago appears to be the brand's latest interior design direction, and we expect the new Tigor to follow a similar approach.
The Tigor's cabin is likely to benefit from a new dashboard layout featuring a free-standing infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster. Other expected additions include an updated two-spoke steering wheel, a touch-based HVAC control panel, twin wireless chargers at the front, and a fast Type-C charging port.
Mechanically, the Tigor is expected to be offered with three powertrain options. The range will continue with the standard 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with manual and AMT gearboxes. There will also be the twin-cylinder CNG version, which is expected to get an AMT gearbox and paddle shifters this time around. Finally, the Tigor EV, which will feature its own styling elements such as a unique fascia and alloy wheel design, is likely to borrow the 19.2kWh and 24kWh battery packs from the Tiago EV, offering a claimed driving range of up to 285km on a single charge.
One interesting aspect could be Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) pricing, something Tata Motors has already introduced with the Punch EV and, more recently, the Tiago EV. While there is no official confirmation regarding the launch timeline, we expect the new Tigor to arrive around the festive season.
