The homegrown manufacturer believes the new variant will further consolidate the sedan portfolio. The Tigor XM will be sold in both petrol and diesel engines with the single available transmission option being the five-speed manual. It will be up for grabs in a phased manner across all authorised Tata sales outlets in the country from September 15 onwards.
Tata is already selling the XM variant on the Tiago hatchback which was the first product to be born out of the Impact design philosophy. It marked a new beginning for Tigor to follow up and so far it is doing a decent job in sales. The Tiago is the brand’s bestselling model since it came into the fray in the highly competitive volume segment.

Although the Tigor has not been able to replicate the success of its Tiago sibling, Tata is wary of its potential and we will be seeing more derivatives in the due course including the AMT equipped variant. Last month, the Tiago range was joined by an AMT version in the XTA trim, making it more affordable than before.
We could see Tata positioning the rumoured AMT version of the Tigor competitively as well. The Tigor is already a feature-packed subcompact sedan with clever styling and is arguably the best looking in its class. As the new Maruti Suzuki Dzire taking its sales margin to new heights, Tata is pushing the boundaries with the Tigor and it is more likely to pay off with boosted sales number in the coming months helped by the new variant.
