The Tigor compact sedan is based on its hatchback sibling, the Tiago. The new compact sedan will be the third car to be based on the company's new IMPACT design philosophy.

The front fascia of the Tigor is similar to that of Tiago, whereas the side profile will feature a notchback-like silhouette with the sloping roofline. The rear of the car features new tail lamps and a chrome strip on the boot lid.

According to the reports, the top-end variant of the Tigor will be equipped with diamond cut alloy wheels. The top-of-the-range petrol variant will feature the same alloy wheels which are found on the Tiago XZ trim.

The new Tigor is expected to be powered by the existing 1-litre diesel engine and a 1.2-litre petrol engine. Both the engines will be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT variant is expected to be added at a later phase.

It is expected that Tata Motors will launch the Tigor compact sedan in the Indian market by March 2017. When launched the new sedan will take on its segment rivals such as Hyundai Xcent, Volkswagen Ameo, Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and yet to be launched Chevrolet Essentia.
