Tata Motors expecting significant sales boost of Tigor with the AMT variant; it has already been aggressively priced in the subcompact sedan segment
Tata Tigor has grabbed everyone’s attention with its exciting design language and features on offer. The compact sedan has so far been available only with a five-speed manual gearbox and the newly introduced AMT unit will certainly enhance the appeal of this car.
Apart from introducing new cars like Tiago, Tigor, Hexa and Nexon the automaker has also been focusing on their respective AMT. It has already revealed that 50% of its future products will carry AMT gearboxes alongside manual transmission.

Tata says for ease of manoeuvrability in heavy traffic scenarios and while parking, the Tigor AMT comes with an in-built ‘creep’ feature which effectively makes the car crawl as soon as the pressure is eased off the brake pedal without pressing the accelerator. It also prevents the car from rolling back when it starts from inclined position.
Following the Tata Tiago AMT variant, the Tigor has now been given the AMT treatment and it will be followed by the Nexon. The subcompact sedan is made available in both petrol and diesel engine options.
