The Tata Tiago hatchback and Tigor compact sedan were first introduced in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Over eight years in the market, both models have witnessed multiple updates, including facelifts, feature enhancements, and the addition of variants such as the NRG, the performance-focused JTP, CNG options, and EV versions. At a recently concluded investor presentation, Tata Motors confirmed that the Tiago and Tigor will receive another midlife update in the financial year 2025.
What to Expect from the Midlife Update?
Currently, there is no detailed information about the updates planned for the new Tata Tiago and Tigor. However, subtle design changes are expected. The interior may feature new trims, upholstery, and additional features. The engines are expected to remain the same, with both models continuing to use the 1.2L Revotron petrol engine paired with 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox options. This petrol unit delivers a claimed 86PS at 6,000rpm and 113Nm of torque at 3,300rpm. Read: Tata Sierra SUV Final Model Leaked
