Tata Tiago EV Specifications

The electric craze continues charging ahead with yet another entrant looking to spark Indian buyers - Tata's first-ever affordable EV for the masses - the Tiago EV. Tata believes its easy adoption of lower-cost electric tech in Tiago has huge promise of attracting many first-time EV buyers in India. Here are the features and specifications of Tiago EV:

• Electric Blue Accents: The Tiago EV gets signature blue highlights across its bodywork, reflecting its electric heart. Sporty blue surrounds, stripes, and badging make its eco-friendly powertrain focus clear.

• Tyre Pressure Monitoring: Pressure sensors on each wheel track inflation levels, warning the driver if any tyre suffers a puncture or pressure drops significantly below the safe mark. This boosts safety.

• Refined Audio Quality: Eight bespoke Harman Speakers are placed strategically around the cabin for clearer treble and richer bass, taking entertainment to the next level.

• Smart Battery Solutions: The entry Tiago EV gets a 19.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack capable of delivering 250 km per charge - handy for daily urban commuting without recharge anxiety. Buyers can upgrade to an extended range of 24 kWh battery configurations for additional flexibility.

• 166mm Ground Clearance: With 166 mm ground clearance, the Tiago EV easily handles speed breakers, potholes, and moderate floods, giving higher underbody protection than typical hatchbacks.

• 240 Litre Boot Capacity: The boot swallows up to 240 litres of cargo, making it pack plenty for family road trips despite the electric rear motor placement, which is on par with regular petrol Tiago capacity.

• Compact Footprint: At 3,769mm long and 1,677mm wide, its compact dimensions and tight turning radius simplify parking in congested spots and navigating cramped lanes.

Specs & Features: Tata Tiago EV vs Rivals

The Tiago EV isn't just notable thanks to Tata's reputation or EV tech. Its price is even lower than that of new affordable options from Citroen and MG. Staying under ₹10 lakh makes the Tiago extra attractive next to the eC3 or the Comet EV. We think Tata's familiarity with India and the small EV's practical dimensions and mature package still put it ahead of both.

Tiago EV vs Citroen eC3

• Design & Dimensions: The Tiago EV has a more traditional hatchback design, while the eC3 has a quirky, SUV-inspired crossover design. The Tiago EV is 3,769mm long, while the eC3 is 3,981mm long. The eC3 is taller at 1,586mm versus 1,536mm for the Tiago EV.

• Powertrain: The Tiago EV is powered by a permanent magnet AC motor making 60hp and 110Nm torque. The eC3 gets a 57hp/143Nm electric motor.

• Range: The Tiago EV offers two battery sizes: a 24kWh version that can travel up to 315km before needing a charge-up and a 19.2kWh option that can travel 250km. The Citroen eC3 packs a 29.2kWh lithium-ion battery that can travel an estimated 320km before needing an outlet. 

• Features & Technology: The Tata Tiago EV is tech-forward even in its lower trim models, ensuring essentials like connected car features are available. Features like cruise control and automatic rain-sensing wipers appear as you move through the variants. The eC3 has more of an old-school luxury vibe. 
  It focuses on styling and comforts as you get to the higher trims like projector headlamps that fancy up the look and plush leatherette seats to pamper your backside. 

• Pricing: The Tiago EV is priced between Rs. 8.49 lakh and Rs. 11.79 lakh ex-showroom, while the Citroen eC3 ranges between Rs. 11.50 lakh and Rs. 12.43 lakh ex-showroom. So, the Tiago EV is more affordable and offers better value for money than Citroen's small electric car.

• Performance & Driving Dynamics: Both cars offer decent drivability and comfort for city use. However, the Tiago EV, being lower in dimensions, handles better than the jacked-up eC3.

Tata Tiago EV vs MG Comet EV

• Performance and Range: The Tiago EV's electric motor produces 60hp and 104Nm of torque, while the Comet EV makes 42hp and 110Nm. Thus, the Tiago EV should have better driving performance. Its claimed range is 315km, while the Comet EV claims 230km on a single charge. Thus, the Tiago EV can drive longer distances before recharging.

• Battery and Charging: The Tiago EV has a larger 26kWh battery than the Comet EV's 17.3kWh battery. A bigger battery generally means more driving range. The Tiago EV can charge from 10-80% on fast charging in just 57 minutes, while the Comet EV takes around 50 minutes to charge 10-80%. So, it has a similar fast charging capability.

• Features and Tech: The Tiago EV has rain-sensing auto wipers, auto headlamps, push-button start/stop, a cooled glovebox, connected car tech, etc. The Comet EV comes with some fancy features like the twin floating displays, front and rear connected lights, etc. 

• Pricing: The Tata Tiago EV is priced from ₹8.49 lakh to ₹11.79 lakh ex-showroom. The Comet EV price ranges between ₹7.99 lakh to ₹8.99 lakh, making it more affordable.
