Tata Aeris Rebrands Tigor With Tech-Heavy Cabin and Same Powertrain

Tata aims the redesigned compact sedan at private buyers as reviewers cite AMT drivability, handling limits and fit‑and‑finish issues.

Overview

  • Tata has renamed and lightly updated the Tigor as the Aeris to separate retail demand from fleet sales and position this model for private buyers.
  • Mechanically the Aeris keeps the Tigor’s 1.2‑litre three‑cylinder Revotron engine and offers manual, AMT and factory iCNG options with the CNG setup using twin cylinders that preserve roughly 200 litres of usable boot.
  • Reviewers praise the Aeris’ segment‑leading cabin tech such as a 360° camera with onboard storage, ventilated seats, free‑standing touchscreen and rear AC vents, but report panel gaps, camera stutter and steering/horn niggles.
  • Test drives find a comfortable, compliant ride suited to poor roads but note disconnected steering, limited high‑speed confidence and an AMT that can hesitate or lurch in heavy stop‑start traffic.
  • Deliveries are set to begin and Tata has said an electric variant is planned, although the company has not released technical details or a launch timetable.
