Tata has launched the Tiago EV hatchback with introductory prices between Rs 8.49 lakh-11.79 lakh (ex-showroom, India), which is quite aggressive. It is the most affordable EV in India, is the first EV hatchback and is also the first to have a starting price under Rs 10 lakh, which means that it has no direct rivals right now.
The Tiago EV is offered in four trims – XE, XT, XZ+, XZ+ Tech Lux – and comes with two battery packs as well as two charging options. Tata is offering a 19.2kWh battery, which has an MIDC-claimed range of 250km, and a 24kWh battery, which has an MIDC-claimed range of 315km.
