Tata Motors priced Aeris sedan from Rs 5.29 lakh on 25 September, undercutting Maruti Dzire by Rs 1.02 lakh
Tata Motors' Aeris, the renamed Tigor sedan, starts at Rs 5.29 lakh for petrol and Rs 6.29 lakh for i-CNG, ex-showroom. That undercuts the Maruti Dzire by Rs 1.02 lakh and Rs 1.89 lakh respectively, though the review flags engine refinement and fit-and-finish issues.

Figures from Rushlane
| Maruti Dzire petrol starting price: | Rs 6.31 lakh |

Why it matters for the brand
Tata is competing on price rather than product novelty, repositioning the Tigor as the Aeris at Rs 5.29 lakh against the Dzire's Rs 6.31 lakh, so treat the flagged refinement and fit-and-finish gaps as the weak point that a rival could exploit or a supplier or quality partner could fix.
