Tata Tigor EV unveiled. Pricing to be?
Tata Motors is enjoying a great revival in the Indian market. All their products are selling well. Tata is also one of the manufactures which are sensing the change and developing EV cars. They already have the Tata Nexon. Today they have unveiled the Tigor EV with the Ziptron drivetrain. Tata already used to sell the Tigor EV, but it used an old architecture. The new Ziptron motor is expected to solve the problem which plagued the Tigor EV; low range figures. In today’s article, we will be giving all the details of this new Tata Tigor EV that has been unveiled today.
Design
The Tigor EV is based on the normal Tigor. The Tigor EV is a compact sedan. In the front, it gets a closed-off grille similar to the Nexon EV. It gets bumper integrated DRLs and projector headlamps. Other highlights include blue accents around the car to give it an EV look. Tata’s EV-specific Signature Teal Blue colour is extended to the Tigor EV as well. It also comes with alloy wheels with blue accents. In the interior, the cabin is similar to the normal Tigor with some hints of EV blue colour.
Performance and battery
The Ziptron technology is the main highlight of the new Tigor EV. The car gets a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. The Tigor EV generates power figures of 55kW (74bhp). The car also delivers 170Nm of torque. To compare, the Nexon EV puts out 127bhp and 245Nm of torque. Tata claims that their new EV can do 0-60km/h in 5.7 seconds. The Tigor comes with an IP67-rated 26kWh high energy density Lithium-ion battery.
The battery comes with CCS2 fast-charging compatibility. With fast charging, the battery can charge from 0% to 80% in an hour. The charging time, when charging from a home socket (slow charging) is 8.5 hrs. The Tigor EV, similar to the Nexon EV, will come with an 8-year battery warranty or a 1.6 lakh kilometre motor warranty. Tata has not declared the range figures, however, we expect a minimum of 250km from the Tigor EV, with Tata’s past claims being the basis of this assumption.
Features
The Tigor EV being based on the Tigor comes with features like a digital instrument cluster, an eight-speaker sound system, reversing camera, a 7.0-inch infotainment system, automatic climate control, fabric upholstery, drive modes and keyless entry. Moreover, connected car technology (iRA) with 30+ features will also be offered with the EV. Standard safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Corner Stability Control, Hill Ascent Assist & Hill Descent Assist will be made available. Also, the Tigor EV comes with a Rear Crash compatible structure.
Launch & Price
Since Tata has only unveiled the car today, the official pricing is not yet out. With that being said, we expect the car to be priced somewhere around 12 lakh to 14.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The final pricing will only be out once the car launches on 31st August.
