Self-indulgent?
Sadly, you can only have one
best friend. At a time
Remember the smell of freshly cut grass? Or how blue the sky
looks after summer rain? The world becomes more vibrant when
you experience it through an open roof. Your biggest dilemma?
Deciding who gets to come along for the ride.
SHARE IT, BUT NOT WITH EVERYONE
The real world is rarely as
simple as black or white, open
and shut. It’s not as certain as
that, nor are the unpredictable
vagaries of the British weather.
Which is why the Tigra has
been designed to give you two
answers to every question.
It’s a coupé – smart, head-turning
and well-insulated against mother
nature’s gloomier mood swings.
Yet, within a few seconds, it’s also
a roadster – and the elements
suddenly become a whole lot
more elemental. Both Tigra and
Tigra Sport models come with the
powered roof as standard. You can
also choose between zingy 1.4i 16v
and punchy 1.8i 16v petrol engines
or a super-economical 1.3CDTi 16v
turbo diesel. Whichever Tigra you
choose, people are going to notice.
And can you think of a better way
to enjoy the experience of that
specially tuned chassis?
This brochure covers only those models listed in the contents. Some of those shown include options and accessories available at extra cost. And not all of the
features described are available on every model. So please check in the Specification insert for further details. From time to time, we also offer alternative
Tigra models such as Special Editions, featured in their own separate literature or found on the Vauxhall website: www.vauxhall.co.uk
02
A perfect fit
for the life you live
Take control of your space
Just where does it all go? How does a coupé become a roadster and still
leave a boot that’s hungry for luggage? You could spend hours pondering
the question, but the answer is simple: ‘compromise’ just isn’t a Tigra word.
IT’S ALL ABOUT TAKING CONTROL
GOOD LOOKS
04
Good looks can get you so far,
but real talent takes you further.
Tigra looks great, of course.
Strong athletic lines and a low,
sporty stance project plenty
of the right sort of visual
attitude. But this is a car that
has also been engineered for
the incessant demands of busy
modern life. The electro-hydraulic
retractable hard top opens or
closes in under 20 seconds. As
a coupé you’ll find Tigra benefits
from a modern, spacious cabin.
Yet even in roadster form, with
the roof stowed, there’s still loads
of space for shopping and bags
under the power-operated boot lid.
Not qualities that you would
associate with more traditional
roadsters. And the logic behind this
is simple: why should you have to
downsize your lifestyle just because
you want a sporty car? With Tigra,
you’re not expected to.
People are staring
Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
DEMAND
ATTENTION
DON’T FOLLOW THE AGENDA
Yes, they’re looking. Stealing
surreptitious glances as they
walk past, staring greedily from
inside other, more ordinary
cars. Are they envious?
Jealous? Or just wanting to see
the magical hard top do its thing?
Tigra’s looks demand attention,
making it a car for those who want
to rise above the crowd. As a
coupé its distinctive roof profile
works in harmony with the strong
lines of the body to create some
real visual impact. And as a
roadster there’s no mistaking
the serious intent of Tigra’s wide,
purposeful look and those chunky
alloy wheels. Once people know
how good it is to drive, they’ll be
‘really’ jealous. And that tingling
sensation? Don’t worry, it’s just the
‘that’s my car’ feeling. You’ll get
used to it.
07
The simple things in life are
best So why shouldn’t you
have some simple luxuries?
TOUCH OF LUXURY
Tigra Sport model illustrated features optional Leather pack,
Technical pack, air-conditioning and Smoker pack.
Great design meets a superb driving experience in Tigra’s cabin. Modern, upmarket materials and
well-thought-out ergonomics ensure it looks and works brilliantly. All Tigra models come with
standard sports seats incorporating six-way adjustment to ensure the optimum driving position,
while the leather-covered steering wheel adds a welcome touch of luxury to the driving experience.
A selection of powerful audio systems, including MP3-compatible units,
ensures that you can always choose the perfect soundtrack for every
road. And a wide range of optional extras makes it easy to personalise
and enhance Tigra, from powerful air-conditioning through to heated
leather seats.
09
COME ALIVE
Tigra harvests plenty of respect on crowded city streets – but it
really comes alive as you head out into the wide-open spaces and
discover the soul of a true sports car. With powerful engines and a
superb chassis you’ll discover a brilliant dynamic driving experience
and that Tigra is far more than just a pretty face.
10
YOU’RE DESTINED TO TAKE CONTROL
For grown-ups who go
out to play Where would you
like to go next?
At the heart of every Tigra lies a brilliant chassis, specially
tuned for high stability, impressive grip and superb
ride comfort. Perfectly matched with a tough roadster
bodyshell, speed sensitive, power-assisted steering
and wide, low profile tyres, it also gives you a real sense
of control. And each of the three engines – two petrol
and a high-tech common rail turbo diesel – offer
outstanding response. For rapid progress, choose the
1.4i 16v with Twinport technology for strong performance
and impressive economy, now with the option of a
five-speed Easytronic transmission – a manual and
automatic all rolled into one. For a real shove in the back,
try the 125PS 1.8i 16v, taking Tigra Sport from 0-62mph
in just 9.4 seconds. And if you prefer to spend even less
time at the pumps, go for the super-economical 1.3CDTi 16v
turbo diesel, for stacks of mid-range punch and a massive
61.4mpg in the combined driving cycle.
11
Can’t decide between coupé
or roadster Have both
When it’s sunny, everybody wants a roadster. And when it’s raining?
Don’t be surprised if everybody wants a Tigra. Because with a roof
this clever, Tigra’s got everything covered.

CHANGE YOUR CAR TO SUIT YOUR MOOD
So where’s the nearest
reflective shop window? Tigra’s
magical transformation from
coupé to roadster is pure street
theatre, something you’ll want
to see yourself. Operated by an
ultra-smooth electro-hydraulic
system, Tigra’s hard top folds
away in seconds under the
protection of the boot lid, which
closes to leave the handsome
roadster lines unbroken. It’s quick,
easy and completely painless.
The advanced roof construction
also means that you’ll find some
serious luggage capacity beneath
the power-operated boot lid, a
commodious 440 litres of room
with it up and a very impressive
250 litres when it’s lowered.
And with a deep boot even bulky
coolboxes fit with ease. Even
more space is found in a deep
stowage compartment behind the
seats that gives another 70 litres
of storage volume. Sexy and
sensible, that’s Tigra.
13
