New Delhi : All new Tata Tigor sedan is likely to hit Indian markets by Diwali 2018, claims a report. As per information, the car has come into production stage at the company plant in Sanand, Gujarat.

Car sales do increase in days near Diwali, it looks like the new version of Tata Tigor sedan will give a boost to the company's sale figures. However, no major changes are expected in the car's exterior except a large grille and a shark fin antenna.

A lot of details about the touchscreen infotainment system have not been revealed; it is supposed to be powered by the same Harman system seen on the Nexon or Zest. This infotainment system supports Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, video playback, radio and voice commands. Reverse parking camera could also be on offer.
