Tata Motors is gearing up to launch the third electric vehicle in its line-up – the Tiago EV – on 28 September, on the occasion of World EV Day.
While the brand is yet to announce the specifications of the upcoming Tiago EV, it is expected to share its EV platform and powertrain with the Tigor EV. Tata Motors currently offers two different powertrain options on the Tigor EV – one for private buyers and the other on the XPres-T for fleet operators.
The upcoming Tiago EV could get the entry-level motor offered on the XPres-T that produces 41hp and 105Nm of torque, and a 21.5kWh battery pack offering a claimed range of 213km. This battery pack can be charged in 1 hour 50 minutes with a 15kW DC fast charger.
The Tiago EV may also get a more powerful electric motor than the Tigor EV which produces 75hp and 170Nm. This motor draws its power from a large 26kWh lithium-ion battery pack that offers a claimed range of 306km. Additionally, this battery pack can be charged in a claimed 1 hour and 5 minutes via the more powerful 25kW DC fast charger.
The design of the upcoming Tiago EV will remain the same as the current ICE-powered Tiago. However, it is also likely to get a cosmetic blue highlight like the Tigor and Nexon EV. Interestingly, the Tigor EV has a split battery pack, with a portion of the battery housed in the boot. It remains to be seen how Tata Motors packs the battery pack in the Tiago EV.
