The Tigor EV is powered by a 74 hp electric motor that develops 170 Nm of torque. The motor pairs with a single-speed transmission for automatic drive feel and offers Drive and Sport modes to vary throttle response.

As for the battery, its 26 kWh high-energy-density lithium-ion battery pack uses liquid cooling and carries IP67 ingress protection for motor and battery.

In addition, the motor accelerates the car from 0 to 60 kmph in 5.7 seconds as per Tata's internal test data.

The Tigor EV returns an ARAI-certified full-charge range of 315 km.

Charging wise, Tata claims a 15A domestic socket or AC home wallbox takes 9.4 hours for 10-100%, while a DC fast charger achieves 10-80% in 59 minutes.

Inside the Tigor EV, the dashboard wears a premium light grey and black theme with EV blue accents around the air vents and fully automatic temperature control. Ahead, the digital instrument cluster displays EV-specific information with matching blue accents and clear readouts for range, consumption and drive mode.

A flat-bottom steering wheel complements this setup, offering tilt adjustment and electronic power assistance for a light, precise feel.

Moving to the center console, infotainment runs on a 17.78 cm floating ConnectNext touchscreen by Harman with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB and steering-mounted audio and voice controls.

This Harman sound system pairs four speakers with four tweeters for full cabin audio coverage.

For passenger comfort, front seats include height adjustment for the driver and fabric or leatherette upholstery depending on specification, while the rear bench provides adequate knee and headroom for three adults along with power windows and, in higher configurations, a foldable armrest with cup holders.

Lastly, a cooled glovebox is also on offer, a practical addition given Indian summer temperatures.

Dimensions wise, the Tigor EV measures 3,993 mm in length, 1,677 mm in width and 1,532 mm in height, with a 2,450 mm wheelbase.

Up front, the Tigor EV gets projector headlamps, signature LED daytime running lamps and EV blue accents along the humanity line set into a body-coloured bumper.

Moving to the sides, it gets clean lines, 175/65 R14 low-rolling-resistance tyres on 14-inch wheels with hyperstyle covers, electrically adjustable ORVMs with turn indicators, chrome finish along the window line and a piano black shark-fin antenna.

Just above, the roof is finished in piano black across the range.

At the rear, crystal-inspired LED tail lamps with light guides and a high-mounted LED stop lamp give a distinctive signature, while the 316-litre boot opening remains wide and usable.

Regarding the crash test, the Tigor EV received a 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP back in 2021, scoring 12 out of 17 in adult occupant protection and 37.24 out of 49 in child occupant protection.

As for safety equipment, it comes with dual airbags, ABS with EBD and corner stability control, child-safety rear door locks and an iTPMS tyre pressure monitoring system.

Additionally, speed-dependent auto door locks automatically activate above a set threshold.

For maneuvering, parking assistance is available as reverse sensors or a camera-based system with dynamic guidelines. To maintain visibility, a rear defogger helps in cold or humid conditions, and follow-me-home headlamps keep the path illuminated briefly after the driver exits.

Finally, the ZConnect app adds digital safety layers including an SOS button, stolen vehicle tracking, valet mode, geo-fence and time-fence alerts plus remote immobilisation.

The Tata Tigor EV’s close rivals in its segment are the Tata Tiago EV and the Citroen eC3.

Against the Tiago EV, the Tigor offers a dedicated sedan body with more rear legroom, shoulder room and a larger 316-litre boot, plus a single larger 26 kWh battery and more powerful 74 hp motor for stronger mid-range response. The Tiago EV counters with a smaller footprint that makes it easier to park and manoeuvre in tight city spaces.

Compared with the Citroen eC3, the Tigor EV provides four-level regenerative braking and a more extensive ZConnect app suite for remote functions and vehicle health monitoring, while the eC3 distinguishes itself with distinctive crossover-inspired styling and a suspension set-up tuned for extra compliance over broken roads.
