# Tata Motors launches Aeris compact sedan in India > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/tata-motors-aeris-sedan-launch > Updated: 2026-09-26T04:23:49.000Z. Sources: 31. Developments: 4. Tata Motors has officially launched the Aeris, a new compact sedan in India intended to succeed the Tigor model. The vehicle is positioned to compete with the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Honda Amaze. In a strategic shift, Tata intends to separate its customer segments by offering the Aeris specifically to private buyers. This marks a departure from competitors like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, as Tata plans to continue the Tigor brand under the ‘Xpres’ guise for fleet and commercial use. Starting at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹5.29 lakh, the Aeris is offered in five trim levels: Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative, and Accomplished, with pricing reaching up to ₹9.75 lakh. The lineup includes both petrol and CNG powertrain options, with manual and AMT transmission choices. The petrol engine is a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Revotron unit producing 86 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, while the CNG version produces between 74.5 and 76 bhp and utilizes twin-cylinder technology to maintain a 419-litre boot capacity. The Aeris features a redesigned exterior inspired by the Tiago hatchback, including slim LED headlamps, a gloss-black grille, and 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The interior includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, and ventilated front seats. Safety features include six airbags as standard, ISOFIX child seat anchors, a tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and a built-in dashcam recorder. To demonstrate structural durability, Tata Motors conducted a demonstration where “20 tons of stone were dropped on the vehicle” to highlight the integrity of the passenger cabin and mechanical components. Customer deliveries are expected to begin on October 11, 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Tata Motors launches Aeris compact sedan in India Tata Motors has launched the Aeris compact sedan in India, replacing the Tigor.
