Tata Tigor came as a saviour for the company that had been struggling in the niche subcompact segment. Ironically, Tata Motors was instrumental in introducing the segment to the Indian market with its Indigo model, though it could not fetch the kind of numbers Tata was looking at. Priced aggressively, Tigor undercuts all the rivals by a substantial margin and brings similarly priced models from other segments in its radar. In this comparison, we pit Tata’s subcompact sedan against Maruti’s top-selling premium hatchback, Baleno. Check out Tata Tigor Vs Maruti Baleno price, engine, dimensions & other details-
