The Tigor offers good straight-line stability and ride quality is impressive.

Both three-cylinder petrol and diesel engines offer adequate performance but no more. Neither engine is exciting.

The Tigor’s wheelbase is 50mm longer than the Tiago’s. The rear doors and glasshouse is different too.

Only minor details distinguish the Tigor and Tiago till the B-pillar. The Tigor gets projector lenses and a smoked finish for its headlights.
