Tata AERIS Variant-Wise Features: Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative & Accomplished Explained
Tata AERIShas been designed for buyers who want more than just a practical everyday car. The new AERIS combines distinctive styling, technology, comfort, safety and multiple powertrain choices across five variants — Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative and Accomplished. Each variant adds a different combination of features, making it important to understand exactly what you get as you move up the variant range.
The Tata AERIS is available with a 1.2-litre Revotron petrol engine, while the iCNG version uses the same 1.2-litre Revotron engine with CNG capability. The brochure lists 86 PS and 113 Nm for the petrol version, while the iCNG produces 75.5 PS and 96.5 Nm in CNG mode.
In this detailed guide, we will explain the Tata AERIS variants and features, what each variant adds over the previous one, which features are available on Petrol or CNG, and what makes the top Accomplished variant different.
Tata AERIS Variant Line-Up
The Tata AERIS is offered in five main variants:
- Tata AERIS Smart
- Tata AERIS Pure
- Tata AERIS Pure+
- Tata AERIS Creative
- Tata AERIS Accomplished
The variant hierarchy is straightforward. Pure comes above Smart, Pure+ adds more technology and convenience features, Creative brings major upgrades in infotainment, exterior design and safety technology, while Accomplished adds premium comfort and connected features.
1. Tata AERIS Smart – Entry Variant Features
The Tata AERIS Smart is the starting point of the variant range. However, being the entry variant does not mean it is stripped down. The Smart variant gets several important safety, convenience and cabin features.
One of the major highlights is the 12.7 cm Digital Island Cluster, which provides essential driving information. The Smart variant also gets six airbags, giving it a strong safety feature list right from the base variant.

2. Tata AERIS Pure – More Convenience Features
The Tata AERIS Pure builds upon the Smart variant. It adds several everyday convenience features that can make a noticeable difference in regular city driving.
The Pure variant gets a 12.7 cm Digital Island Cluster with inbuilt Bluetooth audio (BYOD) along with steering-mounted audio controls. It also adds four power windows, a height-adjustable driver's seat, day/night IRVM and electrically adjustable ORVMs with turn indicators.

For someone looking for a more comfortable everyday AERIS without moving too high in the range, Pure can be an important step up.
3. Tata AERIS Pure+ – Infotainment, Comfort & Convenience Upgrade
The Tata AERIS Pure+ is where the equipment list becomes significantly more feature-rich.
The Pure+ variant adds a 20.32 cm floating touchscreen infotainment system, four speakers and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. It also gets a 65W front Type-C charger, rear AC vents and cruise control, although the brochure specifies that cruise control is not available with the CNG AMT.

The larger touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, rear AC vents, reverse camera, ESP with traction control, iTPMS and hill-hold control make it a significant upgrade over Pure.
For buyers who want modern infotainment and additional safety/convenience features without going all the way to the top variant, Pure+ deserves serious consideration.

Tata AERIS Petrol vs iCNG
One of the major choices for AERIS buyers is the powertrain.
The petrol AERIS uses a 1.2L Revotron engine with 86 PS and 113 Nm, while the iCNG version produces 75.5 PS and 96.5 Nm in CNG mode. The brochure lists a 5-speed MT and AMT configuration for petrol, while the iCNG powertrain is also offered with manual and AMT options as specified in the technical specifications and powertrain table.
Tata AERIS Petrol Specifications
- Engine: 1.2L Revotron
- Displacement: 1199 cc
- Cylinders: 3
- Power: 86 PS @ 6000 rpm
- Torque: 113 Nm @ 3300 rpm
- Transmission: 5-speed MT & AMT

Tata AERIS iCNG Specifications

The technical specifications also list the AERIS at 3995 mm long, 1684 mm wide and 2450 mm wheelbase, while ground clearance is listed at 170 mm in the brochure.
Tata AERIS iCNG Features
The AERIS iCNG has been developed with a focus on usability as well as CNG-specific safety.
One of the key features highlighted in the brochure is Direct Start in CNG, meaning the vehicle starts in CNG directly rather than requiring the driver to manually switch modes during normal operation.
The iCNG system also includes several safety technologies.
CNG Safety Features
- Leak Detection
- Automatic switch from CNG to petrol if a gas leak is detected
- Advanced materials in the iCNG kit to prevent leakage
- Fire Protection Device
- Thermal Incident Protection
The thermal protection system is designed to cut off the CNG supply in the event of a thermal incident and release gas from the cylinder through a dedicated nozzle.
Tata AERIS iCNG Boot Space
Another notable feature of the AERIS iCNG is its twin-cylinder technology.
The two CNG cylinders are positioned beneath the boot floor to maximise usable boot space. This is particularly relevant for buyers who want a CNG vehicle without giving up everyday practicality.
The petrol AERIS has a brochure-listed 419-litre boot, while the iCNG brochure section emphasises the usable boot space enabled by the twin-cylinder arrangement.
Tata AERIS Safety Features
Safety is one of the important areas where the AERIS builds its feature list across the variants.
Depending on the variant, the AERIS offers features such as:
- Six airbags
- ABS with EBD & CSC
- ISOFIX
- Rear parking sensors
- HD reverse parking camera
- ESP with traction control
- Hill Hold Control
- iTPMS
- 360° SVS HD Camera

- Auto headlamps
- Follow Me Home Headlamps
The brochure specifically lists six airbags, ISOFIX, iTPMS, Blind View Monitor, Hill Hold Control, ESP with Traction Control and HD Reverse Parking Camera among its safety technologies.
Tata AERIS Comfort & Convenience Features
The AERIS also focuses strongly on cabin comfort.
Depending on the variant, buyers can get:
- Rear AC vents
- Rear centre armrest with cupholders
- Height-adjustable driver seat
- Ventilated leatherette front seats
- Leatherette seats
- Cooled glove box
- Wireless charger
- Wireless Apple CarPlay
- Wireless Android Auto
- Digital instrument cluster
- Large touchscreen infotainment
- Cruise control
- Automatic climate control
The brochure highlights the 419-litre boot, spacious cabin, rear centre armrest and height-adjustable driver seat, while higher variants add ventilated leatherette seats and other premium features.
Tata AERIS Technology Features
Technology is another major differentiator between variants.
The top versions get the 26.03 cm HD touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.7 cm digital cluster, six speakers, wireless charging and iRA connectivity with 35+ connected car features.
The variant progression can therefore be understood as:
- Smart → Essential technology
- Pure → More everyday convenience
- Pure+ → Larger infotainment + connectivity + additional safety
- Creative → Advanced camera, lighting and technology
- Accomplished → Premium comfort + connected technology
Which Tata AERIS Variant Should You Buy?
There isn't one single answer because the right variant depends on your priorities.
Tata AERIS Smart
Choose Smart if you want the basic AERIS package with important safety equipment and don't need a large touchscreen infotainment system.
Tata AERIS Pure
Pure is more suitable if everyday convenience features such as power windows, adjustable ORVMs, height-adjustable driver seat and additional cabin functionality matter to you.
Tata AERIS Pure+
Pure+ is a strong choice for buyers who want better infotainment, wireless smartphone connectivity, rear AC vents, reverse camera, ESP, iTPMS and hill-hold control.
Tata AERIS Creative
Creative is aimed at buyers who want a much more technology-rich AERIS with 360° camera views, LED lighting, larger touchscreen, blind-view monitoring, automatic climate control and additional convenience features.
Tata AERIS Accomplished
Accomplished is for buyers who want the most premium AERIS experience, particularly ventilated leatherette seats, leatherette upholstery, dashcam, wireless charging and connected-car technology.
Tata AERIS Variant-Wise Features: Quick Summary
- Smart: 6 Airbags, Digital Cluster, ISOFIX, ABS with EBD & CSC, Rear Parking Sensors
- Pure: Power Windows, Adjustable ORVMs, Height-Adjustable Driver Seat, Audio Controls
- Pure+: 20.32 cm Touchscreen, Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, Rear AC Vents, ESP, iTPMS
- Creative: 360° Camera, LED Headlamps & DRLs, 26.03 cm Touchscreen, Blind View Monitor, FATC
- Accomplished: Ventilated Leatherette Seats, Dashcam, Wireless Charger, iRA Connectivity, Premium Interior
This variant progression follows the brochure's stated grade walk, where each higher persona adds features over the previous one.
Tata AERIS Petrol & iCNG: Final Verdict
The Tata AERIS offers a wide spread of variants rather than simply offering one fully loaded version and a few basic trims. The Smart and Pure variants focus on essential safety and everyday convenience, Pure+ adds significant infotainment and technology upgrades, Creative brings advanced camera, lighting and convenience features, while Accomplished focuses on premium comfort and connected-car technology.
For petrol buyers, the brochure lists the 1.2L Revotron with 86 PS and 113 Nm, while the iCNG version delivers 75.5 PS and 96.5 Nm in CNG mode. The iCNG also gets Direct Start in CNG, CNG-specific safety systems and twin-cylinder technology designed to preserve usable boot space.
The important thing is that the variant name alone doesn't tell the complete story. Features such as the 26.03 cm touchscreen, 360° camera, ventilated seats, dashcam, wireless charger, alloy wheels and connected-car technology become available as you move higher through the range.
Therefore, buyers should choose the AERIS variant according to their actual requirements rather than automatically opting for the top model.
