Vauxhall Tigra Specs and Generations

Meet the Vauxhall Tigra: a stylish small coupe that evolved into a practical folding-hardtop roadster. This guide covers both generations, helping you understand the key differences and choose the right one.

Vauxhall Tigra Generations

Vauxhall Tigra generations are clearly split: the first was a compact, sporty coupe based on the Corsa, while the second became a retractable-hardtop roadster with a more affordable appeal. If you want a fun and distinctive two-seater, either works, but each generation offers a different character. The coupe emphasises nimble handling and classic styling, whereas the roadster focuses on open-top enjoyment and clever roof packaging.

Vauxhall Tigra Specifications

Vauxhall Tigra specifications vary significantly between generations, so always check the exact version before assuming performance or equipment. Early models offered modest petrol engines suited to city driving, while later versions added diesel options and more modern tech. Dimensions and boot space also differ, particularly because the second generation hides a folding metal roof, which impacts luggage room when open.
