The Tata Tigor isnt new to the EV space. Launched first three years ago, it came with a small capacity battery and was restricted to commercial use only, and later giving private buyers to pick up one well. The battery pack was later upgraded giving the Tigor EV a higher range that went up from 142 to 213 kms. It also got a new name, being called the Xpress-T. It is now that the Tigor gets a big update with the Ziptron architechture that is also seen in the Nexon EV. The Nexon EV has been a great success for Tata Motors, selling more than 6,000 units till date. Can the updated Tata Tigor EV do the same? Driving the car around the city for a day gave us the answers.
Tata Tigor EV Exterior
The Tigor EV looks very much similar to its IC engined sibling. The only difference are the EV badges all around with blue accents, signature blue teal paint that is exclusive for Tigor EV and piano black roof. The front grille is replaced with a panel with tri-arrows embossed on both ends. It does have a small slot for cooling purpose. The green registration plate remains the most common way to spot EV cars. The Tigor EV comes with 14 inch steel wheels with wheels caps, which make them well, look like alloys. Tata calls them Hyperstyle. Though the blue highlight looks cool, we feel alloys should have been a part of the package. Mated to those wheels are low rolling resistance tyres. These tyres help to reduce the rolling effort required thus saving battery power. The road noise levels are high and evident but that’s also because there is no engine noise.
Other exterior highlights include projector headlamps, revamped clear tail lamps, DRLs, fog lamps, OVRMs with turn indicators, and shark fin antenna.
