Tata Motors has launched an updated, extended range version of the Tigor EV, the all-electric derivative of the Tigor compact sedan. The electric sedan is offered in three variants – XE+, XM+ and XT+ – with prices starting at Rs 9.44 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for commercial buyers. The new starting price represents a Rs 27,000 increase over the outgoing model. Do note, the price applicable to commercial buyers includes subsidies under the government’s FAME II initiative. In a first, the Tigor EV will also be made available to private buyers, though at a higher price. We are awaiting the full price list.
The extended range Tigor EV comes with an ARAI-certified range of 213km, which is significantly higher than the 142km range of the standard Tigor EV. The 50 percent improvement in range comes from the incorporation of a 21.5kWh battery pack in place of the earlier 16.2kWh system. AC charging and DC fast charging are part of the package. As before, the model is powered by a 72V, 3-phase AC induction motor that makes 30kW (41hp) at 4,500rpm and 105Nm of torque at 2,500rpm. The power is channeled to the front wheels via a single-speed gearbox, though Tata has added driving modes – namely Drive and Sport – to the Tigor EV.
In terms of equipment, the top-spec XT+ gets a 2-DIN audio system by Harman with Bluetooth, USB and AUX connectivity, 14-inch alloy wheels, height adjustable driver’s seat, a shark-fin antenna and LED tail lamps. Standard safety features include dual airbags (XE+ gets only driver side airbag) and ABS. The updated Tigor EV can be had in the same three paint shades as the older model – Pearlescent white, Egyptian blue and Roman silver.
The new Tigor EV is available in 30 cities across the country. Tata is also offering a standard warranty of 3 years/1,25,000km on the sedan. In terms of rivals, the Tata Tigor EV competes with Mahindra Electric’s e-Verito.
The updated Tigor EV’s launch comes weeks after Tata Motors announced details of its Ziptron electric vehicle technology. Tata has also started a campaign around the all-electric version of the Nexon that will be the first model to feature its Ziptron technology.
