Tigor Review

Tata Motors had for a long time been testing replacements for the Indica and the Indigo eCS. It took the wraps off the Indica replacement last year and dubbed it the Zica. It is now expected to get a replacement for the Indigo eCS which it is likely to call the Tigor. The revamped vehicle is expected to offer good value for money for consumers on a budget. Tata will showcase the car at the 2016 Auto Expo.

We have seen the Tata Zica in the metal and know that the Tigor will look just the same all the way to the C-pillar. However, in a bid to separate the two cars Tata is likely to modify the grille of the latter. The side profile will mimic that of the Zica while the boot (based on the test mules) will be stubby and have the same tail lamps as the hatchback. However, it is also likely to get some additional chrome and will get the number plate on the bootlid.

Engine and Gearbox

The petrol engine for the Tigor will be the 1.2-litre Revotron motor that produces 84bhp/140Nm of torque. The diesel on the other hand, will be the 1.0-litre turbo three-cylinder unit that produces 69bhp/140Nm of torque which by the look of things may seem inadequate. Both engines are offered only with a five-speed manual.
