Overview
- The Aeris was officially revealed on Friday, September 25, with bookings open and deliveries scheduled to begin from October 11.
- Tata has positioned the Aeris exclusively for private customers while retaining the Tigor nameplate as the Xpres for fleet and commercial use.
- Powertrain choices carry over from the Tigor: a 1.2‑litre three‑cylinder petrol (about 86hp) and a factory‑fitted iCNG variant (about 75–76hp), both offered with a 5‑speed manual or 5‑speed AMT.
- The Aeris emphasizes cabin tech and safety with a 10.25‑inch touchscreen, wireless charging, ventilated front seats, a dashcam recorder using the 360° camera feed, six airbags standard, and stability aids such as ESP, TPMS and hill‑hold control.
- At launch Tata staged structural‑strength demonstrations — a Harrier.ev displayed on a platform above an Aeris iCNG and a filmed rubble test where the car subsequently started — as part of a safety message designed to help the Aeris compete in a compact‑sedan market increasingly dominated by SUVs.
