All of us who were there at the recent Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland would vouch for the fact that there is another word besides Namo that is getting popular by the day and that is TaMo from Tata Motors. The company pleasantly surprised visitors with a brilliantly designed car that goes by the name of Racemo, besides of course showcasing the Geneva edition of the Tigor and the Nexon.
Moving on to the new Tata Tigor, it is basically the sedan version of the popular Tiago from the Tata Motors stable. In fact it comes with the same engine options as the Tiago i.e. a Revotron 1199cc three cylinder petrol engine which produces 84hp @6000rpm and a peak torque of 114 Nm @ 3500 rpm and a 3 cylinder Revotorq 1047cc, 3 cylinder, diesel mill which produces 69bhp@4000rpm and a peak torque of 140Nm @1800-3000. Both the engines are mated to a five speed manual transmission. But what it does not get from the Tiago is an automatic transmission. That will have to wait for some time, says the company.
The Tigor notchback will go up against the likes of the Maruti DZire, Hyundai Xcent, Ford Figo Aspire, Honda Amaze and Volkswagen Ameo. The Tigor has been derived from the Tiago hatchback which was launched in April 2016.
EXTERIOR
The Tigor is quite similar to the Tiago right upto the C pillar which then slopes into a well formed boot, giving the Tigor a stylish notchback look. Maybe that’s the reason why Tata Motors calls this car the Tigor StyleBack. The car has a dual-coloured bumper with the Tata Signature Grille, which is accentuated with a chrome humanity line at the front, with the looks further enhanced by the crystal-like, smoked projector headlamps. What’s new here is that the honeycomb grille has undergone a subtle change for the better and the headlamps are also newly designed ones. Unfortunately, there are no DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) which are in vogue these days.
