Tata Aeris compact sedan launched in India at Rs 5.30 lakh
Tata Motors has officially launched the Aeris compact sedan in India, with prices starting at Rs. 5.30 lakh ex-showroom. The Aeris replaces the Tigor in the lineup, arriving as a rebadged and facelifted version of that car. Both petrol and CNG powertrain options carry over to the new nameplate.
What is new on the Aeris
The Aeris comes with a notably revised exterior compared to the outgoing Tigor, meaning buyers stepping into a showroom today will find a car that looks meaningfully different from what Tata was selling before. The interior has also been updated, though the extent of those changes across the variant range is yet to be detailed fully.
Variants and fuel options
Tata is carrying forward its dual-fuel approach with the Aeris, giving buyers the choice between a petrol and a CNG version at the time of launch. The variant lineup is structured across Smart, Pure, and higher trims, following the same ladder Tata used on the Tigor.
- Starting price is Rs. 5.30 lakh ex-showroom
- Petrol and CNG options are both available from launch
- Variant lineup begins with the Smart trim
- Pure trim sits above Smart in the hierarchy
- The Aeris replaces the Tigor nameplate entirely
Who should be looking at this
If you were already considering the Tigor for its CNG economy or its sub-compact sedan proportions, the Aeris is now the car to evaluate. The refreshed exterior alone makes it a more competitive option in a segment where the Dzire and Aura are the default choices for most buyers. At Rs. 5.30 lakh for entry, it remains one of the more affordable sedans on sale in India right now.
Is the Aeris enough to pull buyers away from the Dzire or Aura, or will the Tigor's old reputation follow this new name into the showroom?

TT Score
A promising compact sedan on paper, with a 419-litre boot, five seats, FWD and six airbags, but the missing fuel-economy data and lack of a real-world ownership record keep the score in check.
Who it suits
- City family — The five-seat layout, FWD configuration and 419-litre boot suit routine family and urban use.
- CNG-focused buyer — CNG is offered across multiple variants, including AMT versions, giving buyers a lower-fuel-cost option on paper.
- Safety-conscious budget buyer — Every listed version is specified with six airbags, providing a substantial standard safety-kit feature.
- Automatic city driver — AMT is available on petrol and CNG variants, including versions across the range rather than being limited to the top trim.
Worth knowing
- · Fuel-economy figures are not provided, so running-cost efficiency cannot be judged precisely.
- · The car is not yet on sale, so there is no owner-rating evidence or established ownership record to score.
- · Published pricing varies substantially between sources, making the eventual purchase value uncertain until Tata confirms the launch pricing.
