While EVs generally tend to be on the expensive side, Indians were long awaiting a sub ₹10 lakh EV to help electric vehicles as a whole to gain traction. The Tata Tiago EV was the first electric vehicle offering to have price under the ₹10 lakh bracket. Currently the Tiago EV starts at ₹7.99 lakh, ex-showroom and goes up to ₹12.23 lakh. 

Tata Tiago EV: Practicality

While the Tata Tiago EV was the first sub ₹10 lakh EV in India, JSW MG Motor India was quick enough to follow the trail with the Comet EV, and make it more affordable than the Tata EV. However, the MG EV isn’t as suitable for families as the Tiago EV. The Tata EV offers a normal size hatchback unlike the Comet EV, with ample amount of cabin space, four doors and practicality. 

Tata Tiago EV: Range

The Tata Tiago EV is available with two battery packs. The lower variants get a 19.2 kWh battery pack promising a range of 250 km, while the bigger 24 kWh battery pack offers a claimed range of 315 km on a single charge. Power comes from a 55 kW (74 bhp) PMS electric motor with up to 114 Nm of peak torque.

Tata Tiago EV: Features

Making an electric car this affordable means there are a few trade-offs in terms of features, as EV systems and batteries aren’t cheap. But even at this price, the Tiago EV still packs a good range of features. The EV gets a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 4-speaker Harman sound system, automatic climate control, push-button start, and cruise control—all the essentials covered nicely.

Tata Tiago EV: Safety

The Tata Tiago EV comes with a reassuring 4-star Global NCAP rating, showing that Tata is serious about safety and making sure you feel protected on the road. Plus, parking is made easier with a reverse camera that has dynamic guidelines, helping you slip into tight spots or reverse in busy areas with less stress. It’s a small feature that makes a big difference when it comes to safe, easy manoeuvring.
