The Tata Tigor Sport will not be a very mileage focussed car. However, the 1.2 turbocharged Revotron will return around 11km/l in the city and around 15km/l on the highway. It will vary from driver to driver and these figures are estimated in real world driving conditions. We are going by the mileage of the Nexon petrol.

Tata Tigor Sport Ride and Handling

What can be expected is a little stiffer suspension setup. This will radically improve the handling of the Tata Tigor Sport and make it an enthusiasts car.This compact sedan shall be getting a lot more bits in suspension set-up. The ride will be stiff but the handling will be dynamic. The Tigor has good handling but this one will see a major improvement. There will also be slightly lower profile tyres on offer, as it will get 16-inch wheel rims. These will be meatier tyres than the regular version.

  • No it doesnt

  • They will come. Tigor EV is ready

  • No scope for another venture in Petrol and diesel. Tata if they want to make a proud come back, they must daringly venture out to the New Electric car version of Tigor with a range of at least 300 km. For that they must have the battery tech and manufacturing. That will be a game changer for TATA motors.
