Tata Aeris Variants Explained: Features, Prices and Which One to Buy

Tata Aeris, the brand-new sub-4-meter sedan launched at Rs 5.30 lakh (ex-showroom), is available in five variants and two powertrain options. It replaces the Tata Tigor, and it may look like just another facelift, but underneath, it features a new Xalpha platform and several structural changes to make it sturdier than ever, so it is essentially a new car. 

In this article, we'll discuss the variant-wise features of the Tata Aeris to help you decide which variant suits your feature requirements and fits your budget. We'll also tell you which trim is the most value for money. So, let's begin without further ado. 

Tata Aeris - Smart

Smart is the entry-level variant of Aeris and is available with both petrol and CNG powertrains, but only with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The petrol version starts at Rs 5.29 lakh, while the CNG version is priced at Rs 6.29 lakh, making it exactly Rs 1 lakh more expensive.

As this is the base trim, the features on offer are fairly basic, making it a suitable choice for those who like their vehicles simple and sorted. It gets six airbags, rear parking sensors, a digital driver’s display and lightbar-connected tail-lamps. Here’s a list of all the features it gets:

Tata Aeris - Pure

The second variant in the lineup is the Pure. It starts at Rs 6.14 lakh (ex-showroom), and from here on, the AMT gearbox unlocks for both petrol and CNG variants. Being the second trim, it brings six meaningful features, making it the value-for-money variant in our recommendation for those who don't want to stretch to the premium trims but also don't want a bare-bones interior. It also has the potential to become a best-seller, as it comes at such a sweet price point. Down below is the list of features it offers over the Smart. 

Ex-showroom price:

• Pure MT - Rs 6.14 lakh
• Pure AMT - Rs 6.69 lakh
• Pure CNG MT - Rs 7.14 lakh
• Pure CNG AMT - Rs 7.69 lakh

Tata Aeris - Pure +

The third variant in the lineup, the Pure+, is a middle variant, so it has some features of the top trims and shares a lot with the lower ones. For 91Wheels, this is the go-to variant in the Aeris, as it has all the essentials, which makes your purchase complete and doesn't let you visit the aftermarket for upgrades. It starts at Rs 6.74 lakh, and its most expensive iteration is Rs 8.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Speaking of the features that make it a top recommendation, it has a 7.88-inch infotainment screen, a reverse parking camera, 4 speakers, rear AC vents, cruise control, TPMS, hill hold control, and more. Go for it if you want the most complete package at an attractive price point.

Ex-showroom price:

• Pure + MT - Rs 6.74 lakh
• Pure + AMT - Rs 7.29 lakh
• Pure + CNG MT - Rs 7.74 lakh
• Pure +CNG AMT - Rs 8.29 lakh

Tata Aeris - Creative

This is the second-highest trim in the lineup, coming with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, a 360-degree camera with 2D/3D view, LED DRLs, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, two tweeters, and a segment-first blind-spot monitor for both sides. Overall, this trim focuses on adding more premium features and a richer driving experience for buyers looking for a more upmarket ownership experience. 91Wheels believes this variant is better equipped than the top-spec Accomplished trim. 

Ex-showroom price:

• Creative MT - Rs 7.49 lakh
• Creative AMT - Rs 8.04 lakh
• Creative CNG MT - Rs 8.49 lakh
• Creative CNG AMT - Rs 9.04 lakh

Tata Aeris - Accomplished

Accomplished is the top-of-the-line variant, and it has just one big upgrade over the Creative: a dash cam recorder for both the front and rear sides. So, this car has cameras placed all over, and there is a mode inside that shows the view in all directions: front, rear, left, and right. This is a first in the segment and rare to find in cars that cost less than Rs 10 lakh. A few other additions are leatherette seats, 35+ connected car features, ventilated front seats, and a wireless charger, making it a complete package.

Ex-showroom price:

• Accomplished MT - Rs 8.19 lakh
• Accomplished AMT - Rs 8.74 lakh
• Accomplished CNG MT - Rs 9.19 lakh
• Accomplished CNG AMT - Rs 9.74 lakh

91Wheels Recommendation - Pure+

End Note

After careful consideration of all the variants, we believe the Pure+ is a worthy recommendation, as it provides the best value for money. It comes with every important feature that people require in current times, and it doesn't cost an exorbitant amount. However, if you want a more refined ownership experience, then go for the Creative, as it has all the goodies like a large touchscreen, a 360-degree parking camera, auto-fold ORVMs, and 15-inch alloys. But don't stretch to the Accomplished, as it feels extra and just added to make sure the Aeris has something that its rivals don't, and that doesn't always mean customers are winning here. So, these are the best picks of 91Wheels.
