Tigor EV, The smallest sedan from Tata has become India's most cheap electric vehicle.

Electric vehicles are finally reaching the mainstream market. You don't have to spend more than Rs 20 lakh to get your hands on one that you can use every day. This transformation is being led by Tata. The Nexon EV has become India's electric vehicle poster boy.

The Tigor EV is the sequel to this drama, and it is now the most cheap electric four-wheeler available in India for individual usage. Is it enough to persuade you to join the electric train? Or are there any major stumbling blocks in your way?

Features

• Over The Air software updates for telematics unit
• Safest electric sedan in India with 4-star GNCAP rating
• IP67 certified battery, motor and power electronics components
• AIS 048 (Nail penetration), crush test, overcharge protection, shock protection, short circuit protection, as per global standard for safety and reliability
• 8 years / 1.6 lakh km* warranty on battery and motor
• Built on the Ziptron EV platform, that has been driven and proven over 35 mn.^ km in diverse Indian conditions
• Tata Motors ZConnect app powered by iRA offers 30+ connected car features
• Key features include remote commands, vehicle health monitoring, safety and security, driving and trip analytics, and location-based services
• Seamless Charging Experience
• Free home charging installation*
• 24x7 emergency charging support (in 5 cities)

As a true embodiment of the electric evolution, the new Tata Motors electric car – Tigor EV houses a supremely ample 26 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This IP67 certified (Ingress Protection against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water) battery has been driven and proved over 35 mn.^ km in order to brave any terrain and any weather. Feel the power of Ziptron technology surge through the Tata Tigor EV as you turn on the ignition. 

Pure, pristine power propels Tata Motors’ latest electric sedan at a peak output of 74.7 PS and a torque of 170 Nm for an excellent driving range. Expect nothing less from our Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor.It’s only fair to complement this battery capacity with a high-performing motor controller that is integrated with Ziptron technology to fire up this electric sedan. Complete with its liquid cooled architecture for a powerful performance and durability over a wide range of operating temperatures.

Performance

Powering the Tigor EV is a 26kWh battery pack. The new ‘Ziptron’ powertrain means there’s a permanent synchronous motor (75PS/170Nm) powering the wheels and not an old school 3-phase AC induction motor that does duty on the Xpres-T (Tigor EV for the taxi market). 

In a little over an hour, you may charge up to 80% of the Tigor EV's battery, as is the case with other modern EVs. This necessitates a 25kW DC fast charger, which can be found at public charging stations in cities and along national highways, as well as certain Tata dealerships and even some gasoline and diesel pumps.

To charge the Tigor EV at home with a conventional 15A outlet, you'll have to wait roughly 10 hours to get the battery from 0% to 100%. To ensure battery life and performance, Tata suggests charging the battery to 100 percent at least once a week rather than relying solely on rapid charging. It's comforting to know that the battery pack comes with an 8-year/160,000-kilometer manufacturing warranty.

Safety

The Tigor EV gets dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and corner stability control as standard. It also is the first electric vehicle to be crash-tested by the Global NCAP, where it secured a respectable 4 stars for both adult and child occupant safety.

This budget electric car in India boasts of a liquid cooled, IP67 certified (Ingress Protection against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water) and AIS-048 safety standard compliant battery pack that checks all boxes for protection against nail penetration, crush, overcharge, and short circuits. It can withstand a wide range of temperatures while simultaneously being waterproof and dustproof.

Feel truly safe in our electric cars that come with Anti-Lock Braking System, Electronic Brake-Distribution System and Cornering Stability Control. Stay completely in charge on the road.
 

Exterior

The Tigor EV makes a subtle statement. The rich Teal Blue colour is a dead giveaway, to be sure. However, a short glance at the Daytona Grey colour option reveals that Tata is only nudge you to notice the difference rather than screaming it in your face.

The grille has been reworked with 'tri-arrow' decoration, and the front bumper has more of the same. The matte aqua-color accents around the grille, fog lamps, and wheels, as well as the faint highlights on the bumpers, are the only design differences between an electric Tigor and its fuel counterpart. We appreciate how Tata has used chrome sparingly here, with an underline for the window line, a splash on the door handle, and a splash on the boot. Highlight elements like the halogen projector headlamps, daytime running lamps, and clear lens tail lamps have been carried over unchanged.

The wheels are a noticeable difference from the petrol Tigor. The EV must make due with 14-inch steel wheels that attempt to imitate alloy wheels. It doesn't help that the design is nearly identical to the Tiago NRG's previous iteration. The Tigor's 15-inch two-tone alloy wheels would have looked great here.

Interior

The Tigor's robust design clearly benefits the electric vehicle. If you like to make a statement, the Tigor EV does it in a variety of ways.

And for some, that may be a letdown. On an entry-level vehicle that costs less than Rs 10 lakh, the rough and scratchy plastic is tolerable. Tata might have improved the overall experience by including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leatherette seat upholstery, and door mats.

Thankfully, space and utility have not been compromised. With a height-adjustable driver's seat and steering tilt-adjust, getting into a comfortable driving posture is pretty simple. The Tigor EV, like the normal car, offers enough room for four six-footers. You can fit a third occupant in the back seat if everyone isn't as tall. Also, at this price point, rear-adjustable headrests and rear AC vents feel like foolish omissions.

Tata Sierra EV Concept marks the return of a Tata Motors Living Legend

Sierra EV Concept

Sierra EV Concept

The Tata Sierra EV Concept marks the return of a Tata Motors Living Legend.

The Sierra Concept is a forward-thinking, innovative, and upbeat look at the future of SUVs, now available in an electric form. It's a vehicle that wonders what the SUV's future holds. What does mobility's future hold? What role will this product play in shaping the storey of a world that is both sustainable and responsible? Finally, it reintroduces the romance and soul of one of Tata Motors' most iconic names. This is a vision that both looks back and forward.

Sierra EV Concept

The Sierra EV Concept builds on the IMPACT 2.0 design language, delivering vehicles that are sleek and represent Tata Motors' contemporary design aesthetic. It's a 4.1-meter SUV that's the third car to be built on the new 'Agile Light Flexible Advanced' (ALFA) Architecture and is a fully electric vehicle. The Sierra Concept's design is dynamic and focused on the outside while giving class leading space and utility on the inside, encapsulating the soul of the sophisticated customer.

On the outside, the Sierra has a functionally focused design that reflects the customer's busy lifestyle. The Tata Design team has created a product that is modern, advanced, and yet preserves the essence of the original Sierra's classic posture and window graphics. It is created with subtle minimalism and is well balanced and poised. It can be used as both a tough all-around SUV and a mobility solution. The Impact 2.0 humanity line is echoed on the front face, but it is reinterpreted in a new way to reflect the EV identity. There is a balance between 'tough tech' on the bottom of the car, which is expressed in the cladding, platform, and powertrain, and 'flush tech' on the top, which emphasises quality ,seamless surfaces, and refinement.

The interior design focuses on making the space feel expansive and stress-free. The rear passenger arrangement emphasises space, comfort, and safety, resulting in a welcoming environment. With a signature lounge arrangement for the rear passengers and the possibility for the front passenger to spin and share this space, it offers a unique and pioneering approach to mobility. They will appreciate the wide panoramic windows and skylight in this room. Instead of a rush to add more screens, the dashboard gives a natural hardwood tech shelf with the option for customers to bring their own device. This adds to the Tata Sierra's digital detox by establishing an environment where users can communicate with one another while taking in the scenery.

These principles are emphasized by the colors of the materials utilized throughout the Sierra Concept. The exterior color is a faint pearlescent "off white" that matches the front and rear lamp graphics, which signify modernity and the digital generation without appearing distant. The concept continues inside, with wood grain contours emphasising delicate light curves and a pleasant ambience. On second glance, you'll see an abundance of visual and tactile features, like subtle Jaali textures, off-white knit and geometric embossed cloth, moss, and, most importantly, etched patterns on recycled leather portions that convey the Sierra tale.

The pursuit of utopia. The concept that good design may enhance the human condition. The Tata Sierra Concept is based on this philosophy. That is the way transportation will be in the future.

2021 Tigor EV is priced from Rs 11.99 lakh to Rs 13.14 lakh

The highly-awaited Tata Tigor EV will be launched in the country on August 31, 2021. Here's what you can expect from the new electric subcompact sedan.

 

 Electric vehicles are finally reaching the mainstream market. You don't have to spend more than Rs 20 lakh to get your hands on one that you can use every day. This transformation is being led by Tata. The Nexon EV has become India's electric vehicle poster boy.

The Tigor EV makes a subtle statement. The rich Teal Blue colour is a dead giveaway, to be sure. However, a short glance at the Daytona Grey colour option reveals that Tata is only nudge you to notice the difference rather than screaming it in your face.

The grille has been reworked with 'tri-arrow' decoration, and the front bumper has more of the same. The matte aqua-color accents around the grille, fog lamps, and wheels, as well as the faint highlights on the bumpers, are the only design differences between an electric Tigor and its fuel counterpart. We like how Tata has kept the chrome to a minimum here: an underlining for the window line, a splash on the door handle and boot — just right. Highlights such as the halogen projector headlamps, daytime running lamps, and clear lens tail lamps have all been retained.

The wheels are a noticeable difference from the petrol Tigor. The EV must make due with 14-inch steel wheels that attempt to imitate alloy wheels. It doesn't help that the design is nearly identical to the Tiago NRG's previous iteration. The Tigor's 15-inch two-tone alloy wheels would have looked great here.

The Tigor's robust design clearly benefits the electric vehicle. If you like to make a statement, the Tigor EV does it in a variety of ways.

When you step into the Tigor EV's cabin, you'll see more blue touches on the dashboard. They draw attention to the AC vents and even make their way to the instrument cluster. Blue tri-arrow designs on the cloth upholstery are another distinguishing feature. With the exception of them, the cabin is similar to the conventional Tigor.

And for some, that may be a letdown. On an entry-level vehicle that costs less than Rs 10 lakh, the rough and scratchy plastic is tolerable. Tata might have improved the overall experience by including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leatherette seat upholstery, and door mats.

Thankfully, space and utility have not been compromised. With a height-adjustable driver's seat and steering tilt-adjust, getting into a comfortable driving posture is pretty simple. The Tigor EV, like the normal car, offers enough room for four six-footers. You can fit a third occupant in the back seat if everyone isn't as tall. Also, at this price point, rear-adjustable headrests and rear AC vents feel like foolish omissions.

The only significant reduction is in the boot space. The Tigor EV has 316 litres of room, compared to 419 litres in the conventional Tigor. Because of the elevated boot floor and the spare wheel being stored in the boot, this is the case. The Tigor EV comes with a puncture repair kit, so you can get rid of the spare wheel if you truly need the boot room. The boot space increases to 376 litres when the spare wheel is removed.

In comparison to the petrol Tigor, there are no features that have been removed. Keyless entry, push-button start, and automatic climate control are included on the top-spec XZ+ model. A few more features over the regular Tigor, such as auto-dimming IRVMs, front armrests, and cruise control, would have been fantastic.

Tata also offers connected car technology, which is accessible through the 'Z Connect' app. This app allows you to remotely access data (such as the car's range) and turn on the air conditioning.

A 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is also included. This is complemented by a fantastic Harman sound system with eight speakers. The screen also serves as a display for the reverse camera, which, unfortunately, produces poor footage and has considerable lag.

Dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and corner stability control are all standard on the Tigor EV. It's also the first electric vehicle to pass the Global NCAP crash test, earning a commendable 4 stars for adult and child occupant safety.

A 26kWh battery pack powers the Tigor EV. The new 'Ziptron' engine means the wheels are powered by a permanent synchronous motor (75PS/170Nm) rather than the Xpres-old T's 3-phase AC induction motor (Tigor EV for the taxi market).

In a little over an hour, you may charge up to 80% of the Tigor EV's battery, as is the case with other modern EVs. This necessitates a 25kW DC fast charger, which can be found at public charging stations in cities and along national highways, as well as certain Tata dealerships and even some gasoline and diesel pumps.

To charge the Tigor EV at home with a conventional 15A outlet, you'll have to wait roughly 10 hours to get the battery from 0% to 100%. To ensure battery life and performance, Tata suggests charging the battery to 100 percent at least once a week rather than relying solely on rapid charging. It's comforting to know that the battery pack comes with an 8-year/160,000-kilometer manufacturing warranty.

Tata Nexon EV Dark Edition costing Rs. 16.90 lakh.

 All of the new aesthetic highlights and features that the conventional Tata Nexon facelift receives are included in the Tata Nexon EV. Yes, it provides a quiet driving experience, rapid torque, and everything else you've come to expect from electric vehicles. The Tata Nexon EV has a starting price of Rs. 14.29 lakh and can go up to Rs. 16.90 lakh. The Tata Nexon EV is available in five variations, with the XM being the base model and the top variant, the Tata Nexon EV XZ Plus Lux Dark Edition, costing Rs. 16.90 lakh.

 

Highlights

• Fast charge your Nexon EV – in 60## mins (SOC 0% to 80%) or choose normal charging at home or workplace using any 15 A plug point.
• Floating 7" (17.78 cm) HarmanTM Infotainment Touchscreen with Android AutoTM and Apple Car PlayTM support

• Nexon EV’s rigid structure of reinforced steel and energy absorbing body structure complies with latest full frontal, side impact and offset impact crash regulations. battery & motor
• 8 years / 1.6 Lakh km* warranty on

Even if the visual changes are slight, Tata has managed to give the Nexon a fresh personality for 2020. The Nexon, on the other hand, is a more mature and attractive SUV. In fact, we'd say it's the best-looking sub-4-meter SUV on the market right now! It looks like a tiny Range Rover Evoque thanks to the lower hood and crisper styling for the halogen projector headlamps.

The side profile exposes a more refined set of 16-inch alloy wheels that stand out even more when driven. looks more unusual, but you have to see the Nexon EV at night to appreciate the Spider-Man-like treatment the new LED tail lights get! Surprisingly, despite all of these modifications, the measurements remain unchanged by even a millimeter. However, the Nexon EV's ground clearance has decreased by 4mm (due to the floor pan integrated battery pack). It's not exactly low-slung, either, with 205mm of clearance.

The Nexon EV differs from the ordinary Nexon in several ways. No, not in terms of design. To make the EV stand out, blue highlights are added to the fog lamps, front grilles, shoulder line, and even the rear. Apart from the 'EV' badges all throughout, there's also a Ziptron emblem at the back to identify the electric vehicle technology that drives this SUV.

Tata has made a few modest adjustments within the cabin to give it a fresh look. The plastic panel on the dashboard has been painted black. It does make the cabin seem better than before, especially when contrasted by the Nexon EV's blue accents. The materials used also feel a little better to the touch, however the trim quality on the XUV300 and Venue is still significantly better.

The majority of the inside hasn't changed compared to Fossil fuel version , so you'll still receive features like auto air conditioning, rear air vents, push-button start, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The addition of features such as auto headlamps, auto wipers, and white leatherette upholstery is what's new. The Nexon EV does, after all, have a sunroof.

In addition, the Tata Altroz now has a shared steering wheel and instrument cluster. As a result, the driver information system now has a 7-inch display. By the way, this page displays all of your electric powertrain data (range, charge, energy flow animation, and power flow histogram).

The Nexon EV is also equipped with connected car technology. You can now monitor car health data, adjust the air conditioner, manage the door locks, set up a geo-fence, and even track/immobilize your Nexon remotely using the ZConnect app.It's still a really comfortable cabin for four adults, with large, well-cushioned seats that appeal to your lazy side. No, the battery pack hasn't raised the cabin's entry point, so getting in and out is still simple. Yes, the 350-litre cargo area is untouched, therefore there's no compromise in terms of practicality or usability when compared to the Nexon.

When Comes to Safety,The Nexon EV comes standard with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX. Hill-hold and hill-descent assist are also included, as well as cornering fog lamps, rear parking sensors, and a backup camera. While the conventional Nexon receives a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP, the Nexon EV receives some structural reinforcements up front and will pass its own crash test. Tata is anticipating another 5-star rating.
