Overview
The Tata Tigor is a subcompact sedan manufactured by Tata Motors in India based on the Tata Tiago hatchback. It was launched in India in March 2017.
Safety
In 2020, The Tigor/Tiago crash tested in Global NCAP (similar to Latin NCAP 2013) scoring four stars for adult occupant protection and three stars for child occupant protection. Tiago/Tigor offers dual airbags as standard across all the variants. However its bodyshell integrity and footwell area are rated as unstable. Head and neck protection for adult occupants was good. Chest protection for passenger was adequate and marginal for the driver. Femur and knees showed marginal protection as there is risk of contracting dangerous structures behind the fascia.
