Hello everyone, welcome back to Best Indian Cars! Tata Motors has finally retired its compact sedan Tigor and relaunched it under a new name — Tata Aeris. It's based on the Tata Tiago and goes head-to-head with the Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Honda Amaze. In this post, we'll cover everything from base to top models. Hope, you will get all detail and best tips below:
Variant-Wise Price List (Ex-Showroom)
The Aeris comes in 5 variants — Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative, and Accomplished. Every variant is available with both Petrol and CNG powertrains, and apart from the base Smart, all variants offer both Manual (MT) and Automatic (AMT) transmission options.
| Variant | Petrol MT | Petrol AMT | CNG MT | CNG AMT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smart (Base) | ₹5.29 L | — | ₹6.29 L | — |

Engine & Powertrain
The Aeris is powered by a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Revotron petrol engine producing 86hp / 113Nm. In CNG mode, the same engine puts out 75.5hp / 96.5Nm. Both fuel options come with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT gearbox. The CNG cylinders sit in a twin-cylinder setup below the boot floor, so usable boot space isn't compromised much.
