The good news is the all-electric Tiago is not just a concept. It visually stays similar to the hatchback we already know as the only inclusion is the replacement of conventional IC engine with an electric drivetrain. It tips the weighing scale at just over a ton and is lighter than the regular Tiago. It will likely become the first affordable EV targetting the masses in India.
It is expected to play a substantial role amongst Tata models in government’s push of making all cars electric by 2030. For the Auto Expo, the Tiago EV boasts EV graphics laid on the body panels and the roof is blackened to bring a two-tone vibe.
