Tata's Smallest Hatchback Goes Electric And It's More Affordable Than You Think

• The Tiago EV is available in two battery sizes, 19.2kWh and 24kWh, with a range of 250km and 315km, respectively. 

• Gets features such as a 7-inch touchscreen, Harman sound system, Z Connect connected car tech and cruise control. 

• Offers four different levels of regenerative braking including a single-pedal driving mode. 

The Tata Tiago EV has been launched in India as the entry-level EV in the carmaker’s electric portfolio. It slots below the Tigor EV and Nexon EV Prime and is powered by a similar Ziptron electric architecture as the existing EVs. It’s offered in two battery sizes and gets better features than the standard ICE-powered Tiago.

Tiago EV Prices 

The Tata Tiago EV comes with a 3.3kWh AC charger for the above mentioned prices. The 24kWh XZ+ and XZ+ Tech Lux variants are also available with a 7.2kWh AC charger that retails for Rs 50,000 more. 

At these introductory prices, the base Tiago EV costs Rs 3.09 lakh more than the most affordable ICE Tiago variant. More importantly, the standard EV variant is only Rs 67,000 more than the fully-loaded, CNG-powered ICE Tiago. It comfortably undercuts the Tigor EV – the base-spec electric sedan costs Rs 70,000 more than a fully-loaded Tiago EV with the 7.2kWh charger. The top-spec hatchback is a whopping Rs 3.2 lakh more affordable than the Nexon EV Prime.
