Tata Aeris: Tigor's replacement gets a feature twist ahead of September 25 launch

Tigor Exit

Tata is preparing to move on from the Tigor with the Aeris, a new sub-4-metre sedan due on September 25. Based on the new Tiago, the Aeris gets a fresh design and a more feature-focused approach as Tata looks to revive its compact sedan play. (AI generated image)

CNG Automatic

The biggest talking point could be under the bonnet. The Aeris is expected to use the Tiago's powertrain lineup, including a naturally aspirated petrol engine, CNG option, manual gearbox and AMT - potentially giving buyers a CNG automatic in a segment where choice remains limited. (AI generated image)

Feature Attack

Tata appears to be loading the Aeris with equipment aimed at making the compact sedan feel more premium. Expected highlights include a 10.25-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera and six airbags as standard, giving the newcomer a strong technology-led pitch.

Dzire Challenge

The Aeris is entering a segment dominated by the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, with the Honda Amaze also in Tata's sights. A sharper design, more features and multiple powertrain choices could give the new sedan a different pitch from the outgoing Tigor.

Price Shock

Tata is expected to launch the Aeris with an aggressive price tag, but the exact figure is still under wraps. With the September 25 launch approaching, the final price could be crucial in determining how seriously buyers consider this new compact sedan. (AI generated image)
