Second‑Generation Launch
The Tigra TwinTop was introduced in May 2004, marking the shift from the first‑generation 2+2 coupé (1994‑2000) to a compact hard‑topped convertible roadster. This redesign gave the model a fresh, sporty look while retaining its small‑car appeal.
Hydraulic Convertible Roof System
The TwinTop’s hard‑top roof operates via a hydraulic system, which can require maintenance such as flushing the hydraulic fluid. Owners sometimes encounter roof‑operation problems, and specific parts like the roof pump motor (part 93164575) are available for repairs.
