Red Tata Aeris compact sedan

The Tata Aeris specifications start with a 1.2 litre petrol that makes 85 bhp and 113 Nm. The factory iCNG version makes 74 bhp and 96.5 Nm when it runs on gas. Both engines offer a five speed manual or a five speed AMT, and the CNG starts straight on gas rather than on petrol.

At 3995 mm long with a 2450 mm wheelbase, the Aeris uses its size well. The 419 litre boot is big for a sub four metre sedan, and clever twin cylinder packaging keeps that space on the CNG too. Ground clearance is 170 mm, and the petrol tank holds 35 litres.

Safety runs deep for the class. Six airbags, ABS with EBD and corner stability control, and ISOFIX mounts are standard from the base Smart. Electronic stability, hill hold and a tyre pressure monitor join from Pure Plus, and a 360 degree camera with a blind view monitor arrives on Creative.

Higher trims turn the Aeris into a well equipped small sedan. You get up to a 26.03 centimetre HD touchscreen, ventilated leatherette seats and a built in dashcam near the top. To weigh each feature against its cost, check Aeris prices trim by trim.

Tata Aeris power and torque explained

The Aeris runs a 1.2 litre engine, and you can have it burning petrol or as a factory fitted CNG. Both forms offer a manual or an AMT automatic, so the gearbox choice is yours either way.

The petrol is the eager one. It carries more torque and makes it lower down, so it pulls cleanly when you ask for a move. The CNG is softer and likes a few more revs, but it brings your running costs right down.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.2L Revotron iCNG spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

Go for the 1.2 Petrol if you want the stronger drive. Its 113 Nm of torque arrives at 3300 rpm, so it pulls hard from low speeds without much effort. Power tops out at 86 PS at 6000 rpm. With 2700 rpm between the two peaks, you can leave it in gear through most city driving and still have enough in hand for a highway overtake. It suits a loaded car and anyone who wants the quicker engine. To place it in the range, lay the petrol and CNG trims side by side.

The 1.2 CNG is the one for low running costs. It makes 96.5 Nm at 3500 rpm and 76 PS at 6000 rpm, with 2500 rpm between the two peaks. That slightly narrower spread means you drop a gear a bit more often for brisk moves. It feels happiest at a steady city pace rather than hard overtaking, so it fits daily commuters who cover big miles on cheaper fuel. Before you commit, see what it works out to on road in your city.
