Tata Tigor EV Latest Updates
Tata offers an electrified version of the Tigor sub-4m sedan called the “Tigor EV'' in India. It gets EV-specific cosmetic changes inside and out over the standard model to set the two apart. The EV is equipped with a 26kWh battery pack, good for an ARAI-rated range of 315km. The battery comes paired with a 75PS electric motor delivering 170Nm.
Tata Tigor EV Key Highlights
Features: The Tata Tigor EV gets features such as rain-sensing wipers, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with four Harman speakers and an equal number of tweeters, multi-mode regenerative braking, cruise control, auto AC, height-adjustable driver seat and electrically foldable ORVMs. The list also includes leatherette upholstery, auto headlights and connected car tech. Passenger safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, tyre puncture repair kit, rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and hill-hold assist.
Motor: The Tigor EV packs a 26kWh battery pack that powers a 75PS/170Nm electric motor. This setup offers a claimed range of 315km and the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in an hour using a DC fast charger. A standard wall charger takes 8.5 hours for the same.
Rivals: It has no immediate competition, but Tata’s electric sub-4m sedan can be considered as an alternative to the Tata Tiago EV, Citroen eC3 and the upcoming MG Comet EV.
Range: It offers an ARAI-claimed range of 315km.
Variants: Tata sells the Tigor EV in four variants: XE, XT, XZ+, and XZ+ Lux.

Tata Tigor EV Expert Review
Tata has been leading the charge in the affordable EV market with cars like the Tigor EV. The Tigor EV is the most affordable sub-4 meter compact EV sedan on the market. It’s sits above the Tiago EV and below the Nexon EV in Tata’s electric car lineup. The MG Comet and the Citroen eC3 are really its only other competitors though they are hatchbacks.
The Tigor is a great all-round first car and the Tigor EV also promises a similar experience but with electric power and makes for a great first EV.
Lets see what one of the most affordable electric sedan on the market offers to the first time electric car buyer.
Looks
When talking about the Tigor’s looks, one needs to mention the colour blue a lot. The Teal Blue is one of only two color choices, the other being Daytona Grey (same as the regular Tigor). But like its electric cousin, the Tigor EV is decked out with plenty of blue 'EV' badges, a bold blue touch underlining the front 'grille' and projector (halogen) headlights, along with a blue surround for the fog lights.
The LED DRLs are placed next to the fog lights, but no, they’re white, not blue. The 'Hyperstyle' wheels may look like alloys, but they are not. Even the top-spec XZ+ features 14-inch steel wheels with covers. And yes, the blue contrast makes a comeback here too, but only on a section of the wheel covers.
Apart from these tweaks, it's still the Tigor, with a familiar design. The facelift changes, including the sharper front end, have been carried over. The Tigor’s unique charm lies in its side profile with a swooping roof blending into a compact boot. It's one of the more distinct-looking subcompact sedans out there. The Tigor EV’s ground clearance (when not carrying much weight) is 172mm, which is 2mm more than the standard Tigor.
Boot Space
The battery pack and associated components don’t sit within the floorboard. They’re placed where the fuel tank would’ve been (below the rear seat) and they also eat into some of the depth the boot has. As a result, the spare tyre moves into the boot and is placed vertically on the right (driver’s) side. Subsequently, boot space drops from the standard Tigor’s 419L to 316L. Two medium-sized trolley bags will get in, but full-sized suitcases won’t.

Charging
The charge port is on the rear left of the car and the Tigor EV supports both fast charging and home charging (the latter being what you should use primarily

0-100 percent Home Charge: 9 hours 45 minutes (last 20 percent takes longer for cell balancing) |
0-80 percent Fast Charge: 65 minutes |
Safety
Tata has managed to get the same 4/5-star crash safety rating for the Tigor EV that they did for the standard Tigor. Safety features include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and a rear camera.

Interiors
That’s the cabin for you i.e. it retains qualities we appreciate in the standard Tigor like the airy cabin or its ability to seat four occupants (all 6ft tall) in comfort. In fact, you can seat three adults of an average build at the rear too. The features list is largely identical as well, so it’s satisfactory for the price.

A 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto & Apple Carplay is actually smoother to use than the Tata Safari's infotainment system. The 8-speaker sound system is excellent as ever and aside from offering great sound quality, also does justice to bass heavy songs.
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0057copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
There are also nice inclusions like push button start with a smart key, auto ac and a digital instrument cluster which has a nice game-like interface to it. You get connected car tech with the ZConnect app which facilitates geo-fencing, live car tracking & remote operation of the AC/lights/door locks, among other features

The let down is that the cabin quality is only as good as the regular Tigor and can't really match the premium you pay for electrification. The scratchy plastics and average fitment quality isn’t premium in the standard Tigor, the top-end variant of which costs about Rs 9 lakh on-road fully-loaded. So with a car that’ll cost over Rs 11 lakh on-road (post-subsidies in Maharashtra for the XZ+), the quality is a letdown. The same money can get you well-equipped petrol-powered variants of the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz or even the Tata Nexon which feel far richer inside.

Electric Motor and Range
Let’s kill the suspense first. We started the day at 100 percent charge with the distance-to-empty reading at about 260km. As we moved from the event venue to our shoot location some 15km away, the charge drop was oddly quick. While we did briefly drive the car in Sport mode, the majority of the drive was in the normal drive mode and we were keeping pace with traffic, travelling between 50-60kmph.
FYI: The battery pack comes with a 8 year / 1,60,000km warranty from the factory.
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0339copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
Through the shoot day that car went through the tracking shot routine of rapid, erratic acceleration and braking, along with some cruising and several hard launches to see the difference between the two drive modes (more on that in a bit). Realistically, with sedate driving and sticking primarily to D mode, you’re looking at a (ballpark) range of 200km without having to drastically change your driving style to improve efficiency.
Here are the end-of-day stats:

100 percent / 256km |

30 percent / 50km |
Distance Driven |
76km |
Drive Cycle |
|

D Mode: In this mode, the performance is sedate but not sluggish. The power delivery is very progressive and there is none of the throw-you-into-the-back-of-your-seat action you traditionally associate with electric cars, including the Nexon EV. So you can keep up with traffic that’s flowing at 50-60kmph and even manage overtakes like you would in a regular petrol hatchback, so don’t expect to pass cars in the blink of an eye in this mode. This mode is well-suited to daily commutes, especially in the kind of traffic you’d encounter in cities Mumbai or Bangalore.
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0140copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
S Mode: Sport mode offers the brisk acceleration you’d associate with an electric car. The car surges ahead eagerly and offers a decent dose of excitement. Also, do note, the Tigor EV runs on low-rolling resistance tyres, so this mode will send the tyres screeching quite easily. The difference vs the regular drive mode is also noticeable in the speedo-indicated acceleration times.

11 seconds |
6 seconds |
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0384copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
Of course, we’d love to have the car always accelerate like this but it takes just a few hard jabs of the throttle in Sport mode to make the displayed range drop quickly.
Fun fact: The regenerative braking (non configurable) is mild, almost imperceptibly so. This was done after feedback from Nexon EV owners found that many felt the resistance was too strong for them.
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0282copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
The Tigor EV is about 200kg heavier than the standard Tigor petrol AMT. While the suspension components remain the same, it has been retuned to be slightly stiffer to counter the added weight. Thankfully, the Tigor still rides comfortably and handles even the sharpest bumps without getting uncomfortable.
One thing that needs some getting used to would be the brakes. Like we’ve experienced in many electric cars, there’s not much feel to them so you need a little time to understand how the brake responds.
The Silent Truth
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0006copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
Based on our experience with the car, the Tigor EV can do about 170-220km on a full charge on average depending on your driving style. That makes it great for city usage, as long as you can charge up conveniently at home/your workplace. Long distance trips can be done but not without planning and you would ideally need to keep speeds limited to 60-70kmph.
With the exception of boot space, the Tigor EV offers everything we liked about the Tigor, like the cabin space, comfortable ride quality, decent features package and likeable styling, while offering a much smoother drive experience too.
![](https://media.zigcdn.com/media/content/2021/Sep/cpsl0305copy.jpg?tr=w-930)
As an affordable EV, the Tigor is not just a novelty purchase and it is a great package for the real world. Just 4-5 years ago, an entry-level EV was the Mahindra e2oPlus, a commendable effort to make EVs appeal to our sensibilities but a very hard sell in the real world. The fact that an entry level EV is now something this competent, is a great sign of what’s to come.
The Tigor EV puts electric cars within the reach of a lot more people. Whether it likes it or not, it will be something of a torchbearer for affordable electric mobility. So we hope Tata has taken the long-term learnings from the Nexon EV to heart and has fixed any gaps with the Tigor EV to make sure the experience is niggle free. After all, you have to offer many arguments (rising fuel prices, the environment, cost of ownership, charging infrastructure etc) to sell people on EVs, but it takes just one thing to go wrong to get people skeptical again.
