Tata Motors officially launched their mid-segment sedan Tigor on Wednesday. It carries an introductory price tag of Rs 4.70 lakh to Rs 7.09 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi. With the launch, Tata aims to take on Honda's Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, Ford Aspire, Hyundai Xcent and Vokswagen Ameo in the same segment. Powering the car is a 1.2 litre Revorton Petrol engine and 1.05 litre Revotorq Diesel engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The interesting bit, however, is that Tigor's, pronounced as 'tee-gaur', pricing is nearly Rs 65,000 to Rs 83,000 lower than the Swift Dzire as the company aims to break away from traditional market boundaries. During the launch, MD of Tata Motors Guenter Butschek said with Tigor the company has successfully expanded its product portfolio at the same time has invited a new customer base. The Tigor is the second all new model launched in 2017 after the SUV Hexa in January which Pareek said has notched over 2000 retail deliveries. According to Butschek, Tigor is based on its successful Tiago hatchback platform which was rolled out last April and has sold close to 60,000 units, according to him. There's more to Tigor than its attractive pricing though. Although it is based on the Tiago platform, its dimensions are taller, wider and longer than the hatchback. It's also packed with features including split LED tail Lamps, dual tone bumpers, projector headlamp, head-mounted LED stop lamp, dual tone interiors, 24 utility spaces, touchscreen Infotainment system, eight-speaker system from Harman, multi-drive mode, reverse parking system, fully automated climate control, dual airbags and ABS. On the performance side, the 1.2L Petrol engine churns out at least 85 PS power at 6000 RPM, while the 1.5 Revotorq Diesel engine produces 70 PS power at 4000 RPM with maximum torque of 140 Nm available at 1800-3000 RPM.
