Exterior Design and Features
The Tigor has an attractive look. The front features the Tata logo and a stylish chrome grill with a gloss black finish. It comes with projector automatic headlamps; the low beam uses a projector, and the high beam uses a halogen bulb. Indicators are placed within the headlamps. Fog lamps and Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are also present. The car offers a good ground clearance of 170 millimeters.
Side Profile and Wheels

The smart key allows you to lock, unlock, and open the boot. It also has a follow-me-home function. Inside, the dashboard has a dual-tone finish. The car features excellent quality leather seats. It has an automatic climate control system.
The digital instrument cluster provides information like trip details, average mileage, range, outside temperature, and even a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and includes controls for cruise control, phone calls, and infotainment. The steering wheel can be tilted for adjustment. Automatic headlamp and rain-sensing wiper controls are also present.
A 7-inch touchscreen, powered by Harman, is available, though it currently lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A reverse parking camera is included. Below the screen, you’ll find USB A and C ports, along with a 12-volt charging outlet. The car comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, and an automatic option is also available.

Practical Boot Space
The Tigor offers a spacious boot capacity of 419 liters (approximately 420 liters). It includes a boot light. The spare tire is a 13-inch steel rim, which is two sizes smaller than the main tires.
