Tata Motors has officially launched its newest sub-four-metre compact sedan, christened the Tata Aeris, at an introductory starting price of Rs 5.29 lakh (ex-showroom).
Bookings for the sedan are currently open across Tata dealerships nationwide, with customer deliveries scheduled to commence on October 11, 2026.
Built on an updated design language inspired by recent Tata portfolio facelifts, the Aeris departs significantly from its predecessor's rounded styling.
Front Profile: Features a sleek gloss-black grille integrating ultra-slim LED headlamps and eyebrow-style LED daytime running lights (DRLs).
Side Profile: Carries a clean coupe-styled roofline with blacked-out ORVMs, integrated turn indicators, and new 15-inch dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels on higher variants.
Rear Profile: Redesigned with a connected light-bar finish and refreshed LED taillamps with revised bumper contours.
The sedan is available in six paint schemes: Dandeli Drizzle, Nitro Crimson, Dune Glow, Daytona Grey, Pure Grey, and Pristine White.
Inside, the Tata Aeris adopts a modern dual-tone beige and grey cabin theme with upgraded upholstery and a minimalist dashboard architecture.
Key interior highlights include:
Dual Digital Displays: A floating 10.25-inch high-definition central touchscreen infotainment unit alongside a digital driver information cluster.
Connectivity: Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, twin smartphone dock with wireless fast charging, and Tata's iRA connected-car suite offering 35+ features.
Comfort & Utility: First-in-segment front ventilated seats (AeroLux), automatic climate control, rear air conditioning vents, 65W fast Type-C charging ports, and a rotary gear selector for automatic models.
Reinforcing Tata Motors’ standard-setting safety focus, the Aeris is constructed on the Safety Dome architecture using Ultra High Strength Steel.
Standard Safety: All variants come equipped with 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and reverse parking sensors as standard.
Segment-First Driver Aids: Top trims feature a Blind View Monitor, a 360-degree surround-view HD camera, and an integrated MultiView Digital Video Recorder (dashcam).
Dedicated CNG Safety: iCNG trims feature integrated leak-detection sensors, flame-retardant materials, thermal incident cut-offs, and micro-switch engine shut-offs during refueling.
The Tata Aeris continues with the reliable 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Revotron engine available in both pure petrol and factory-fitted iCNG versions:
| Spec / Powertrain | 1.2L Revotron Petrol | 1.2L iCNG (Dual-Cylinder) |
| Max Power | 86 PS @ 6,000 RPM | 76 PS @ 6,000 RPM |
| Peak Torque | 113 Nm @ 3,300 RPM | 97 Nm @ 3,500 RPM |
| Gearbox Options | 5-Speed Manual / 5-Speed AMT | 5-Speed Manual / 5-Speed AMT |
| Boot Space | 419 Litres | Usable boot with twin tanks under floor |
Tata’s patented twin-cylinder setup packages two smaller CNG cylinders under the flat boot floor, freeing up practical cargo space unlike conventional single-cylinder sedans.
The Aeris is distributed across five broad trim grades: Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative, and Accomplished.
In the Indian compact sedan segment, the Tata Aeris takes direct aim at rivals including the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura, and Honda Amaze.
