The Tata Tiago EV specifications describe a small, efficient electric hatchback. The 19.2 kWh version makes 60 bhp and 110 Nm, enough for city hops. The 24 kWh version steps up to 74 bhp and 114 Nm with more range on tap. Neither is fast, yet both feel brisk enough in traffic.
Both batteries on the Tata Tiago EV specifications sheet drive the front wheels through a single speed automatic. The smaller pack claims about 226 km, and the larger about 285 km. Real range depends on speed, load and how gently you drive, so treat the figures as a guide.
Charging is straightforward. A 30 kW DC charger takes either battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 35 minutes. On a 7.2 kW home wallbox the larger pack needs about 3.5 hours, easy to top up overnight or at work. Home charging suits the short daily distances this car covers.
At 3825 mm long the Tiago EV is simple to place in traffic and park. The 2400 mm wheelbase gives four adults fair room for short trips. The 240 litre boot handles daily shopping, and the cabin feels neatly finished for the price. The under floor battery lowers the centre of gravity for a settled ride. Four adults fit for short trips around town.
The essentials are present, including dual airbags and standard ABS. Higher trims add a touchscreen and more comfort kit. To weigh what each trim costs against its kit, check Tiago EV prices across the range before deciding.
