Tata Altroz EV – What can we expect from it now?
The electric vehicle market is still in its early stages in India. A lot of manufacturers have planned electric vehicles, but only a few have launched them. Tata is one of such manufactures. Recently they unveiled the Tigor EV in India. With this launch now, Tata has two EVs in the Indian market, the Nexon and Tigor. Considering Tata’s push for converting their ICE-powered cars into EVs. We expect Tata to bring the ALtroz EV soon. Tata had showcased it at the Auto Expo 2020. In today’s article will look at the Tata Altroz EV expectations.
Design
The Altroz EV will be based on the regular Altroz. Tata will give it subtle changes like a blue coloured grill with EV badging and blue highlights on the bumpers and fog lamps. The alloys will also get blue accents. The EV will get the Signature Teal Blue colour which we see on the Tigor EV as well. On the interior front, the cabin is similar to the normal Altroz, with some hints of EV blue colour.
Performance & battery pack
Like the Tigor and Nexon EVs, we expect Altroz to also get the Ziptron motor technology. As with all EVs, it will get an automatic gearbox. The battery pack will be a 26kWh Lithium-ion unit with IP 67 water and dust-proofing standards.
Range and charging time
The range will be somewhere around 300-350km from what we have seen on the Nexon and Tigor EV. It will get fast charging capabilities that can charge the battery from 0-80 percent under an hour. Tata will also offer an 8-year battery warranty on the battery as it does on the Tigor EV.
Features
As the Altroz EV will be based on the top-spec models, it will come loaded with features. It will get a Floating touchscreen, 8-speaker sound system, automatic climate control, keyless entry and iRA connected car tech. The Altroz EV might get regenerative braking to put in some extra miles.
Launch and pricing
With the launch of Tigor EV done, Tata may now focus on bringing the Altroz EV by early next year. The Tata Altroz EV will be priced somewhere around Rs 13 lakh(ex-showroom).
