2022 Tata Tigor iCNG review, road test

The Tigor is the most distinct-looking compact sedan in the country due to its fastback-like profile lent by its sloping roof and stubby boot. With its recent makeover, Tata has boosted the Tigor’s premium quotient with dollops of chrome across its exteriors. The front grille features attractive tri-arrows elements that appear to be radiating from the dominant ‘T’ logo. The ‘humanity line’ or the bar that underlines the grille and the (new) sharper headlamps is prominently defined. The chrome treatment continues on its bumpers, fog lamp housings and window line. Interestingly, instead of the petrol’s 15-inch alloys, the iCNG gets stylised 14-inch steel wheels, which not only keeps the bean counters at Tata happy, but also aid ride quality (more on that later). A small ‘iCNG’ badge on its boot is this version’s only other identifier.

On account of the added weight and a newer suspension, its ground clearance drops to 165mm, which is 5mm lower than its petrol counterpart. However, during our tests, it cleared even the unusually tall speed breakers without grazing its underbelly. Other dimensions remain identical to the petrol iteration, and it remains one of the smallest compact sedans on sale.
