Tata Tigor – Tiago-based sedan is India’s 1st styleback

Tata Motors has announced that the production version of the Kite 5 concept (pictured below), which was showcased at Auto Expo 2016, will be called the Tigor.

To go along with the announcement, the company has released this sketch of the model, which embodies its Impact design language. Said to be aimed at “young, talented and confident individuals who express their individuality with a unique style of their own,” the Tigor is also claimed to be India first “styleback.”

“The Tigor Styleback introduces a radical new silhouette to the segment, which is dominated by boxy cars. The Tigor Styleback will be a game changer in the segment, with an unbeatable combination of style and substance,” the company said in its release.

According to Indian Autos Blog, the Tigor will be a sub-four metre sedan that will compete against the Maruti Dzire and Honda Amaze in the republic. The car will be based on the Tiago hatchback, and reportedly offers up to 420 litres of boot space.

Motivation should come in the form of Tata’s 1.2-litre Revotron three-cylinder petrol (85 PS/114 Nm) and 1.05-litre Revotorq three-cylinder diesel (70 PS/140 Nm) engines. The engines will likely be mated to a five-speed manual transmission, with an automatic option expected to be offered soon after its launch.

    See, even India can design such a hot attractive car. I wonder what are the hundreds of overpaid engineers and designers doing in Proton? All goyang kaki receiving fat pay and bonusses and not doing work

      You make noises like an idiot …even India can… Now really, what is so awful in Protons designs aside from the bias you have. Hate the politician biz but make some sense when commenting on styling and design
