TIGOR is the nameplate for KITE5 Sedan.
After a lot of speculation regarding the nameplate of KITE5, Tata Motors has finally announced the name of the new compact sedan as TIGOR.
Tata TIGOR will be India’s 1st ‘Styleback’
The TIGOR was first showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo as a concept model. The compact sedan will be known as a Styleback’ according to Tata Motors. It will be interesting if the rear boot opens as a hatch like the SKODA Octavia or similar to conventional sedans.

The car definitely looks stunning and has already won top honours at the CII Design Excellence Awards.

The coupe like silhouette looks very promising and gets many distinguishing features as compared to the Tiago hatchback.
Based on the Tiago platform the car will share mechanicals like engines, transmission and suspension. Powering the car will be the Revotron 1.2L Petrol and Revotorq 1.05L Diesel engines with multi-drive modes – Eco and City.
Feature wise the car will get segment first 420 litres of bootspace, coupe like silhouette and integrated roof spoiler housing the high mounted stop lamp LEDs.
