Electric hatchling

Having shed their boring AF image, EVs are now becoming desirable. Even aspirational for some. Tata's dominance in the EV space is only about to get cemented with this, the Tiago EV. A hatchback that will democratise EVs!

It’s the final nail that needed hammering in and Tata has done it. At least before any other mainstream manufacturer. The Tiago is the first compact, city hatchback that runs on a modern Ziptron architecture that Tata has been refining for some years now. The combination of its tight dimensions and averseness towards petrol pumps is what makes it a potent proposition.

Though not exactly a new car, the Tiago EV looks appropriately modern and slick. The shark nose with projector headlamps, blacked-out grille, the triarrow motif on the bumper and the signature Tata EV teal coloured accent trims make it smart yet recognisable as an EV instantly. The wheels get a new aero design too and the rear now gets an electronic boot release, triggered by a discreet button right above the rear-view camera.

Available in two different capacities, 19.2kWh and 24kWh, our test drive was conducted on the higher capacity model that generates close to 74hp and 114Nm of torque. With a standard 15A wall AC outlet, it will take about 9 hours to charge 100%, keeping the Tiago EV every AM.
