Tata Motors have launched the Aeris at an introductory starting price of Rs. 5.30 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as the successor to the Tigor, the 2026 Aeris is available in 5 variants – Smart, Pure, Pure Plus, Creative and Accomplished. Bookings for the Tata Aria are now open, while deliveries will begin on the first day of Navratri, October 11.

Tata Motors claim the Aeris gets a stronger structure, a more composed ride and a more feature-rich cabin than the Tigor. However, it retains the Tigor’s 1.2L normal petrol and CNG powertrains with both manual and AMT options.
The Tata Aeris is available in 5 variants – Smart, Pure, Pure Plus, Creative and Accomplished. The starting introductory price of Rs. 5.30 lakh makes the Aeris Rs. 40,000 more affordable than the outgoing Tigor’s base XM variant.
Check out the prices of the Aeris petrol-manual, petrol-AMT, CNG-manual and CNG-AMT variants in the table below:
The Aeris petrol-manual variants are priced from Rs. 5.30 lakh to Rs. 8.20 lakh (ex-showroom). The Aeris CNG variants are priced at a premium of Rs. 1 lakh over the corresponding Aeris petrol variants. The Aeris AMT variants are priced at a Rs 50,000 premium over the corresponding manual variants.
Bookings for the 2026 Aeris are open and deliveries are scheduled to begin on October 11.

Up front, the Tata Aeris gets a lifted bonnet line along with the LED headlamps and eyebrow-like LED DRLs borrowed from the Tiago facelift. The revised lighting signature and the gloss black grille give the compact sedan a more contemporary appearance, while the squared-off design gives the Aeris a more planted stance than the Tigor.

The side profile retains the overall silhouette of the Tigor. However, Tata Motors are offering new 15-inch alloys with the Aeris. The rear gets distinctive tail lamps with lighting elements extending onto the boot lid. This gives the visual impression of a wider car.
Check out the dimensions of the Tata Aeris in the table below:
The new Aeris is 2mm longer and 7mm wider than the Tigor. The Tata Aria offers 170mm of ground clearance, with Tata Motors claiming best-in-segment approach, departure and ramp-over angles. Compared to its rivals such as the Maruti Dzire, Honda Amaze and Hyundai Aura, the Tata Aeris offers the largest boot space in both petrol and CNG form.

The 2026 Aeris is available in 6 exterior colours:

Other notable features include:
The Aeris also gets a new AMT gear selector. The conventional AMT gear lever from the Tigor is replaced by a rotary AMT selector, while new paddle shifters allow for manual gear changes.
