We put the Tata Tiago EV XZ+ Tech, the long-range variant, through its paces in 10 real-life tests to see if it lives up to the hype. Here’s the breakdown:
Performance & Range:
- Packs a 24 kWh battery and delivers 55 kW (around 75 horsepower) with a smooth driving experience.
- Claimed range is 315 km, but expect a realistic 180-200 km depending on driving conditions. (See video review for details)
- 0-100 km/h acceleration is quick enough for a zippy hatchback.
Handling & Comfort:
- Braking performance is reassuring.
- Sport mode provides a fun and maneuverable driving experience due to the car’s compact size.
- Ride quality is decent, but small tires can be a concern on bad roads with a full load.
- Seats are comfortable but could be larger.
- More body roll is noticeable due to the car’s size and small tires.
Practicality:
- Boot space is decent for a car of this size, accommodating a laptop bag and more.
- Ingress and egress are easy for the driver due to the wide doors.
- Rear seat space is very limited, suitable for short journeys or children.
- Tight fit for three passengers in the back, with limited headroom for the middle passenger.
Features & Technology:
- Harman infotainment system with four speakers and four tweeters offers the best sound quality in the segment (tested with CarPlay).
- Headlights are powerful with good throw, suitable for city driving.
Overall:
- The Tiago EV is a reliable and fuss-free electric car for city use.
- Higher price compared to the Tiago CNG, but lower running costs in the long run.
- Ideal for predictable driving cycles with access to charging at home or office.
- A strong contender in the small electric car segment, especially for those seeking a low-maintenance and cost-effective EV.
