In terms of performance, though, the Aura turbo blows everything out of the water. Its massive torque band covers the bottom and mid-range of the rev band and there’s nothing else in this class that can even come close to matching the Aura turbo’s performance. While the Maruti Suzuki Dzire has an exceptionally efficient engine, the Aura has an exceptionally torquey petrol engine with a strong bottom-end performance. The Amaze appears to have the lowest torque output of 110Nm but it’s the Tigor, which has the lowest torque-to-weight ratio. So, the Tigor is likely to be the most sluggish car to drive in the city traffic.

Tata Tigor vs Rivals | Dimension Comparison

Tata Tigor is 3993mm long, 1677mm wide, 1532mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2450mm. A wider body normally results in better shoulder room and a higher roof makes ingress & egress easier. A longer wheelbase usually results in more cabin space. It has a boot space of 419 litre. A larger boot allows you to carry more luggage. Tigor has a 170mm ground clearance, it rides on 175/60 R15 tyres size and has 35 litres fuel tank capacity.

• Maruti Suzuki Dzire is the longest car in the segment. It is 2mm longer than Tigor.
• Maruti Suzuki Dzire is the widest car in the segment. It is 58mm wider than Tigor.
• Tata Tigor has a height of 1532mm, it is the tallest car in the segment.
• Ford Aspire has the longest wheelbase in the segment. Its wheelbase is longer than the Tigor’s by 40mm.
• Honda Amaze has the biggest boot space in the segment but it’s only 1 litre more than the Tigor. The Tata Tigor will probably beat the Amaze in usable boot capacity as it doesn’t have the C-hinges to hold the boot. These hinges intrude into the boot space and compromise the effective boot capacity. The Tigor’s hydraulic struts not only have an aesthetically pleasing design, but they’re also not intrusive. So, the Tigor probably has the best boot space in the segment.
• Ford Aspire's ground clearance of 174mm is the best in the segment. The Tigor’s ground clearance of 170mm is also better than what’s acceptable for this class of cars.

Amongst all the B2 sedans, Ford Aspire has the highest ground clearance, so it should be the last car to bottom-out on uneven roads. Honda Amaze has the biggest boot in the segment, followed closely by the Tigor. But the Tigor may be better at carrying more luggage due to hydraulic struts for the boot lid. In fact, it’s the only car in the B and even the C segment to offer hydraulic struts for the boot lid.
