- Powertrain, chassis upgrades not revealed yet
Tata Tiago EV Blitz: what’s new?
Up front, the Tiago EV Blitz doesn’t feature the blue accents that are seen on other .EV models by Tata. Instead, it gets an all-black trim under the headlamps and the closed-off grille. Where the standard Tiago EV gets Y-shaped motifs in the air dam finished in body colour, the Blitz gets angular slats that converge in the middle, finished in gloss black.

In profile, the new elements on the Blitz include flared wheel arches finished off in gloss black and 15-inch wheels – last seen on the Tiago JTP – also finished in black. While the Tiago EV Blitz still gets a black roof and black outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs), it misses out on black accents on the door handles seen on the standard Tiago EV. The only differentiating factor at the rear is the black spoiler which is finished in body colour in the Tiago EV.
However, the easiest way to identify a Tiago EV Blitz is badging. It gets a blue bolt motif next to .EV badges on the front grille, front doors and tailgate.
Inside, the Tiago EV Blitz is largely similar to the regular Tiago EV, except for the blue bolt motif stitched into the head restraints.
Tiago EV Blitz launch timeline
Tata mentioned that the Tiago EV Blitz will be launched in FY2024. This means there is a high chance that the Blitz could hit the showrooms before 2023 ends. At the moment, there is no information on its price, the powertrain or any chassis upgrades it will get.
