Tata Tiago.ev
Exterior, Interior & Safety
With an introductory price starting at Rs.8.49 Lakhs that goes all the way up till Rs.11.79 Lakhs (all price ex-showroom, Delhi), the new Tiago.ev can be booked by paying Rs.21,000 at your nearby authorised Tata dealership.
Just like the regular model, it feels plush inside because of the availability of leather seats, contrast roof, automatic climate control etc. On the outside, the automaker has equipped the new hatchback with several features such as projector headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and auto folding wing mirrors. Available in five exclusive shades including Teal Blue, Midnight Plum, Tropical Mist, Pristine White and Daytona Grey, the new hatchback is there with multiple personalisation options as well.
With the GNCAP 4-star rating that the regular Tiago comes with one can expect the electric version to be similar in terms of safety. To confirm this, Tata Motors has equipped some basic yet important safety features on the Tiago.ev such as hill start-descent assist, tyre pressure monitoring system and airbags as standard.
Battery and Powertrain
Requirements of the customers may differ. Keeping that in mind, Tiago.ev is available with two different IP67-rated battery packs. The smaller 19.2kWh battery pack is said to return a range of around 250kms. Meanwhile, it is the 24kWh battery pack that comes with an estimated MIDC range of 315kms.
Thankfully, the permanent magnet synchronous motor on both the models are exactly the same and therefore, the overall output from the setup stands at 55kw and 114Nm. Performance-wise, it helps the all-new Tiago.ev to do a 0-60kmph sprint in just 5.7 seconds.
