Heritage

The sub-4 meter sedan was first tagged as Kite 5 but, it was renamed later. The sedan was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2016 and shares Tata Tiago’s platform. Even the design cues are quite similar to Tata Tiago just the extended boot makes the difference. The all new Tigor has advanced safety features including driver and co-passenger airbags, rear parking sensors, central lock, braking system with ABS and EBD to make the journey safe.
