The Tata Tigor is based on the Tiago – which is already quite a pretty car. The Tigor has the same front end design of the Tiago but gets a different gloss black grille with hexagonal design elements that differentiates it from the hatch. The Tigor also gets a set of very cool blacked out headlamps. The headlamp cluster gets a set of projector low beams and a set of halogen high beams in its dual barrel setup. Daytime running lights have sadly been given a miss as the Tata design team felt that a better performing headlamp with a projector setup would be more cost and value affective than a set of fancy DRLs. That said, a set of well integrated DRL’s would have certainly made the Tigor look even better.
Move over to the side and the first thing that pops out are the new 15-inch diamond cut alloy wheels. The new wheels are available only on the petrol powered cars and not on the diesel. This is because the larger wheels are heavier and also because their additional cost would have driven the overall price of the diesel up even further.
The Tigor has an almost coupe like roofline around the C-pillar and this is what really makes it stand out. The integration of the coupe like roof and the boot area is the best we have ever seen in any subcompact sub 4-meter sedan and there is a continuous line that runs off the roof slope and into the boot lid itself that gives it that fluidity. The Tigor also gets a roof mounted lipped spoiler in which is the third brake light. The brake light lights up end to end giving it a very cool signature look post sunset. In fact, we do see a lot more manufacturers adapting this look to their upcoming cars.
The tail lamps on the tigor are not flat and built into the body like the ones on say the Volkswagen Ameo. Instead, the hexagonal theme continues with a set of three dimensional tail lamps that protrude out to give the boot area a more robust look. Technologically, the tail lamps also use LED lighting. The rear bumper has a plastic cladding styling feature that works well to break up the overall mass of the rear end. Not only does it look quite well placed in the Tigor, it also offers a hint of sportiness, especially with the lower mounted reflectors.
The Tata Tigor might be called ‘Styleback’ by the Tata marketing team but the actual structure is more or less like a notchback. That said, in the true sense of the word, it isn’t a notchback and more like a conventional three box sedan since the rear window does not pop open with the bootlid. On the whole then, the Tigor is most certainly a case study on how design should be used well to solve the subcompact sub 4-meter conundrum.
