Enhanced Exterior Design
The Tata Tigor facelift boasts several exterior updates, making it more appealing.
Front Profile Upgrades
The front of the new Tigor features a refreshed look. You’ll notice a new grille with the prominent Tata logo. The car now comes with new LED automatic headlamps, offering improved visibility. Indicators are placed on the side. Additionally, fog lamps and DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) are included. The lower grille has also been redesigned, moving away from the previous ‘tyro’ pattern. The vehicle offers a ground clearance of approximately 170 mm. It also features dual wipers with a rain-sensing function. A CNG sticker on the front highlights its bi-fuel capability.
Stylish Side View
From the side, the Tata Tigor facelift stands out with its hyper style steel rims, which give the impression of alloy wheels. The style of these wheels is noticeably changed from the previous model. The ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors) are finished in gloss black and feature an auto-fold/unfold function when the car is locked or unlocked, along with integrated indicators. The A-pillar is body-colored, while the B-pillar is blacked out. Chrome door handles are present, and door guards can be added as an accessory. The front wheels are equipped with disc brakes, while the rear wheels have drum brakes. The tire profile is 175/65 R14. Higher variants offer 15-inch alloy wheels.
Modern Rear Design
The rear of the updated Tigor features the Tata logo and subtle design changes. A slim spoiler adds a sporty touch to the compact sedan. The Tigor badge is clearly visible. The vehicle includes a reverse parking camera and a white nameplate light. As a CNG variant, it sports a CNG sticker. LED taillights, along with integrated indicators, enhance the rear lighting. A defogger is provided on the rear window. Other features include a shark fin antenna and a high-mounted stop lamp. The dual-tone bumper houses two ultrasonic parking sensors, a reverse light, and reflectors. A chrome slide is also visible on the bumper. The rear suspension setup and exhaust pipe are visible from below.
Practical Boot Space and Fueling
The Tata Tigor X+ CNG variant is equipped with twin CNG cylinders, which are neatly placed in the boot. While a standard Tigor offers 419 liters of boot space, the CNG model provides approximately 210 liters after cylinder placement, allowing for some luggage. A boot light is also included. The spare wheel is conveniently located beneath the boot floor. Insulation is provided above the boot area.
For fueling, the petrol tank capacity is 35 liters. The CNG tank can hold about 8 to 9 kg of gas, depending on pump pressure. A safety sensor ensures the car does not start if the fuel cap is open.
Premium Interior Enhancements
Stepping inside the Tata Tigor facelift reveals a thoroughly upgraded and premium cabin.
Dashboard and Console
The interior boasts a new dashboard with a fresh color combination, featuring brown accents with a subtle beige finish, giving a soft-touch feel. A large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (upgraded from 7 inches) dominates the center console. Automatic climate control can be operated directly from this screen. The Tigor also introduces a new steering wheel and a modern instrument cluster. Notably, the X+ Lux variant offers a 360-degree camera with enhanced quality and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity.
Seating and Comfort
The seats are upholstered in fabric, with height adjustment and recline options available for the driver. Rear passengers benefit from ample legroom and headroom. The rear seats feature fixed headrests and three-point seatbelts. A white LED roof light illuminates the cabin, and seatback pockets are provided for convenience. Unfortunately, rear AC vents are not available in this facelift model.
Driver-Focused Features
The driver’s door trim includes power window controls, a chrome door opener, and ORVM adjustment controls. A speaker and bottle holder are integrated into the door. The smart key allows for lock, unlock, and boot release functions, and includes a request sensor on the door handle. The new two-spoke steering wheel features an illuminated Tata logo, audio controls, and telephonic/infotainment controls. It is leather-wrapped, flat-bottomed, and tilt-adjustable. The instrument cluster provides essential information like RPM, speed, trip details, seatbelt reminders, and fuel gauges for both petrol and CNG. The car also features automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers. A cooled glove box with a tablet holder is a thoughtful addition. Both driver and co-driver sun visors come with vanity mirrors.
CNG with Automatic Option
A significant highlight of the new Tata Tigor is the availability of an automatic transmission option with the CNG variant, a segment-first feature that enhances driving convenience. The center console includes a 12V charging outlet, along with Type-A and Type-C USB ports.
