The Tigor was revealed at the Auto Expo 2016 as the Tata Kite 5. Based on the Tata Tiago hatchback, the Tigor adopts a lift back rear-end rather than incorporating a separate boot, resulting in a more consolidated design. It will offer a class-leading 420 litres of boot volume.

The interior is all black with fabric seat upholstery contrasted silver and chrome accents. The top-end XZ will come equipped with a Harman touchscreen infotainment system with 8-speakers, steering-mounted audio controls, multi-info display, City and Eco Driving modes, and automatic climate control.

As it's based on the Tiago, expect the engine lineup to include the familiar 1.2-litre Revotron three-cylinder petrol and 1.05-litre Revotorq three-cylinder diesel engines, both featuring a 5-speed manual transmission as standard. A 5-speed automated manual transmission from the Tiago could be offered at a later time.

The Tigor is expected to be the least expensive sedan in India, rivaling lower variants of the Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze, Ford Figo Aspire and the Hyundai Xcent.
