Tata Motors has launched the facelifted Tigor EV from Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The all-electric sedan now gets the improved Ziptron powertrain (from the Nexon EV) with an increased claimed range. It’s available in four trims: XE, XM, XZ+, and XZ+ Dual Tone.
Here are the detailed variant-wise prices:

The Tigor EV now comes with the Nexon EV’s Ziptron powertrain but in a lower state of tune. The electric motor develops 75PS and 170Nm (54PS and 75Nm less than the Nexon EV), and it is powered by a 26kWh battery pack. Like other electrics, the Tigor EV’s battery supports fast charging and can go from 0-80 percent in an hour. The ARAI-claimed range is 306km.
These specifications are superior to the Electra powertrain, which is now limited to the fleet-only X-Pres T. Here’s a quick comparison:

The facelifted Tigor EV’s styling is similar to the X-Pres T. However, the former gets a few distinctive elements, including a different grille and air dams with tri-arrow detailing, LED DRLs and projector headlamps, and steel wheels with plastic caps that mimic alloy wheels. There are blue touches aplenty, indicating that it’s an EV.
The facelifted electric sedan is available in only two colours: Signature Teal Blue and Daytona Grey.

Heading inside -- save for the splash of blue around the AC vents and digital driver display, the facelifted Tigor EV’s cabin is similar to the standard model. Also, it utilises the same rotary gear knob as the Nexon EV.

Now, to the features. The sedan gets a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car tech, automatic climate control, keyless entry with push-button start, a Harman sound system, and electrically adjustable ORVMs.
Passenger safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and hill assist and hill descent control. The Tigor EV has got a 4-star safety rating by the Global NCAP.
The facelifted electric sedan is one of the most affordable EVs today in India. It doesn’t have any direct rival, however, it will soon go up against the upcoming Mahindra eKUV100.
