I dont think AMT will come at the launch. As it is Tiago AMT is just launched. depending on the demand for Tiago AMT, Tata will delay or hasten the AMT launch for Tigor. Generally, AMT will be a good addiition when the intial euphoria dies down and then somewhere after an year, need to bet more featuresfor the car, AMT is the route. See the Tiago, Celerio, Kwid climber.
Looks like Tigor is only about 50kg heavier than Tiago. Not bad.
What happened to the larger turbo engine? I thought Tigor comes with atlease with 85 BHP heart. Disappointed to see Tiago state of tune making into Tigor ![[anger]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Anger.gif "Anger [anger]")
I hope it's easy enough to drive in B2B traffic. The peak power comes only at 4000 RPM and the torque kicks in only after1800 rpm. I am worried about the turbo lag.

Good to see ACC as Tiago gets a bit too cold due to the powerful ac. Touchscreen is good for someone who likes it. Personally I am not a big fan. Alloys are the best I have seen in any car <15L and has given xz alloy Tiago reason to be super jealous of the elder brother

And yes the new brown color is super sexy. Wish it was available in Tiago when I bought

Neither has Tata Motors introduced VGT for Diesel Tigor, nor has the new Bumper design (shown at Geneva) been brought to the production versions here. VGT might get introduced later, but the Bumper design should have been introduced at launch. I am a bit disappointed here.
I don't know why people were expecting it to come with 1.3MJD. Its Tiago sedan and Tiago too doesn't come with 1.3D. And with Tiago/Tigor Tata had in mind VFM full featured cars. They might give it as option later though it would increase cost due to royalties going to Fiat. What I find bit wierd is R14 for D and R15 for P. R15 is a bit Overkill for 3cyl engined already heavy small car. But it should be variant wise as in Tiago I feel. There's something missing here. I sincerely hope Tata removes that manual boot lamp button in Tigor. Its disappointing.
I think they didn't give turbo engine as it would reduce the FE..............

Will there be any performance issues if we downgrade form R15 to R14 on petrol variant.
idly not however recalibration of tacho might require to get the correct speedo and mileage or low profile tyres will be best for the amazing looking alloys
Even I was under the same impression till some time ago. In layman terms, a turbo engine tries to reuse the blown out air in the first go and reuse it as a second attempt but more air needs more fuel to be combined to generate power. If you aim to achieve high power keep the power (PS/bhp) as constant, a turbo engine might(or might not) lead to better FE but if you keep engine size constant it probably reduces FE (giving more power) and yes the engine Tata would keep them same as Tiago. You see most petrol engines 1.2L are claiming FE >20kmpl but even 1L Turbo petrol engines claim FE around 19kmpl (ecosport). What I found is that it reduces FE if you keep the engine size constant. Also adding a Turbo is more effective to a diesel engine compared to a gasoline one.

Exactly my point. What stopped Tata from providing a larger turbo in Diesel? The petrol engine is anyway powerful enough to haul the extra baggage. However the Diesel runs out of breath in the highway and the extra baggage is only going to make things difficult.
Tata was testing this unit with VGT however it was a shocker to get the same like Tiago in Tigor.
Maybe the cost involved or the testing isn't completed yet Or the gearbox limitations. Whatever it is - a lost opportunity.
Another one is the front styling same as Tiago. Should have some difference, may be same front bumper from Geneva edition would be great.
Any thoughts on this one team?
