For buyers eyeing a compact sedan that keeps costs low, the Tata Aeris arrives with a surprisingly generous 419‑litre boot and a host of tech that usually belongs to pricier models.
It replaces the Tigor in Tata's small‑car lineup, and is offered in five trims – Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative, and Accomplished – each with a choice of manual, AMT, or CNG power.
The entry‑level Smart comes at ₹5.29 lakh ex‑showroom, while the top‑end Accomplished jumps to ₹8.19 lakh for manual, or ₹8.74 lakh for AMT. CNG variants run from ₹6.29 lakh to ₹9.74 lakh, providing a fuel‑efficient alternative for long‑haul commuters.
Inside, a 10.25‑inch touchscreen runs Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wirelessly, and higher trims add features like wireless charging, automatic climate control, and ventilated front seats. The driver gets six airbags, hill‑hold control, and a full suite of driver‑assist tech.
Compared to rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and Hyundai i20, the Aeris offers a larger boot, more safety features, and a cleaner exterior with a lifted bonnet and squared stance. For budget buyers who want a practical family car, it offers a compelling mix.
Bookings have opened and deliveries are slated to start on 11 October. The car will be available in major metros and tier‑2 cities, giving consumers a clear timeline for when they can take it home.
