Indian automaker Tata Motors has launched its third electric vehicle in the country, the Tiago EV. The electric hatchback is available at a starting price of Rs 8.49 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom) and is offered in four variant options. The brand will commence the bookings of the Tiago EV on 10 October, while its deliveries will start in January 2023.

To distinguish it from the ICE version, the Tata Tiago EV gets a blanked-off grille with the signature tri-arrow pattern on both ends. Further, it comes with a distinctive EV badge, projector headlamps, and electric blue highlights. The side profile is retained from the regular model while it gets tweaked alloy wheels for freshness.

To complement the electric theme, the interior is bestowed with electric blue hues on the air vents and digital instrument cluster. As for convenience, the electric hatchback offers a height-adjustable driver seat, automatic climate control, a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a steering wheel with mounted controls.

Further, it comes equipped with multi-drive modes, re-gen modes, cruise control, 45 ZConnect features with smartwatch compatibility, leatherette seat upholstery, auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers, electric auto fold ORVMs, powered boot opening, and more.

Mechanically, the newly launched Tata Tiago EV is powered by two battery packs: 19.2kWh and 24kWh, with a claimed range of 250km and 315km, respectively.
