Tata Motors is currently the leader in the Indian market when it comes to electric vehicles. Thanks to Nexon EV and Tigor EV, the carmaker has more than 90% market share in the EV segment. On the occassion of World EV Day, Tata Motors have announced that they will be launching the Tiago EV soon in the coming months as their next electric car.
Though Tata hasn’t revealed any details regarding the Tiago EV yet, we can assume that it will be similar to the Tigor EV considering that they both share the same platform. Expect a new exterior color in the shade of Blue. It is also expected to get a bunch of light Blue contrasting elements for the interior and exterior. The equipment levels of the Tiago EV are expected to be on par with the Tigor EV and the interior will be similar as well. In terms of powertrain, the Tiago EV will share it with the Tigor EV. The Tigor EV comes with three powertrains including the ones found in the Tigor X-Press T which is used for commercial purposes.
The Tigor X-Press T comes with an electric motor that produces 41hp and 105 Nm of torque. It comes with two battery pack options. The 16.5 kWh version delivers 165km of claimed range and the 21.5kWh battery pack delivers 213 km of claimed range. The more powerful Tigor EV with Ziptron technology comes with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that produces 75hp and 170Nm. It gets a 26kWh lithium-ion battery pack that delivers 306km of claimed range. It also gets fast charging capability.
Announcing its plans on World EV Day, Mr. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. said, “World EV Day is indeed a special day for us, as we look back and reflect on our journey so far. We are proud to lead the EV market in India, with a lion’s share of 88%. As early entrants, we have shaped the market and seen it grow with Nexon EV and Tigor EV. We have over 40,000 Tata EVs plying on road and we are grateful to the early adopters who have shown faith in the brand. Leveraging group synergies, we have also established Tata UniEVerse, a one of its kind EV ecosystem, which is further propelling the EV adoption.
“Earlier this year, we had unveiled our 3 phased approach towards building a comprehensive EV portfolio. As we accelerate our future journey, we are committed to launch 10 EVs in different product segments, body styles and affordability levels. Today, is a momentous occasion for us, as we announce the expansion of our EV portfolio further with a new mainstream intervention from the stable of Tata Motors, the Tiago EV.
