BSVI-compliant 2020 Tata Tigor (facelift) spied on test in Maharashtra
In February 2019, the Tata Tigor received ABS with EBD and CSC as standard fitment across all its trims. Now, in a fresh development, IAB reader Ashu has spotted a test mule of the BS-VI compliant 2020 Tata Tigor (facelift) on the Mumbai-Pune expressway.
So far, the Tata Tigor has been available with two engines - 1.2L Revotron petrol that develops 85 PS and 114 Nm and 1.05L Revotorq diesel that produces 70 PS and 140 Nm. The petrol variant is available with two transmission options - 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic. The oil-burner comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Last month, it was reported that Tata Motors will discontinue the diesel engine variants of the Tiago and the Tigor as updating them to achieve BSVI-compliance will make them too expensive. The Tiago-based sub-4 metre sedan has been on sale in five trims - XE, XM, XZ, XZA and XZ+.
The Tata Tigor was launched in March 2017 and received a minor cosmetic update in October last year. Its range-topping configurations feature a diamond-look front grille, projector headlamps with chrome finish, 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, LED tail lights, shark-fin antenna, faux leather upholstery with contrast stitching and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Completing three years in the market at nearly the same time as the BS-VI deadline, its BS-VI upgrade is likely to coincide with the facelift.

Tata Motors is readying even a mid-cycle facelift for the Tiago. New models from the homegrown automaker arriving this fiscal will include even the Altroz, a Maruti Baleno rival, and the Buzzard/Cassini, a 7-seat C-SUV that is basically an extension of the Harrier.
