Price & Variants: Electric for Everyone
One of the biggest draws of the 2025 Tata Tiago EV remains its competitive pricing, making electric vehicle ownership more attainable for Indian buyers. The 2025 model starts from an attractive ₹7.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to ₹11.14 lakh (ex-showroom) for the fully loaded versions.
Tata offers the Tiago EV in a range of variants, ensuring there’s a perfect match for different needs and budgets:
- XE MR (Medium Range)
- XT MR (Medium Range)
- XT LR (Long Range)
- XZ Plus Tech LUX LR (Long Range with premium features)
Battery & Performance: Ready for Your Daily Drive
The 2025 Tiago EV comes with two practical battery options, giving you flexibility for your daily commute and beyond:

- Long Range (LR): For those needing to go further, the 24 kWh battery pack delivers an impressive certified range of 293 kilometers (MIDC). In real-world driving conditions, you can typically expect around 200-210 km from the Long Range variant, which is ideal for most urban and inter-city journeys.
Under the hood, both versions are powered by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), ensuring smooth, silent, and zippy performance, perfect for navigating city traffic.

Charging Convenience: Powering Up Made Easy
Recharging your Tiago EV is straightforward, whether you’re at home or on the go:
- Standard AC Charging (3.3 kW): A full charge (10-100%) takes about 6.9 hours, which is convenient for overnight charging.
- Faster AC Charging (7.2 kW): Available in higher variants, this option cuts charging time significantly, getting you from 10% to 100% in roughly 3.6 hours.
- DC Fast Charging (25 kW): Need a quick boost? You can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 58 minutes at public DC fast chargers.
- Home Socket (15A): Even a standard 15A household plug can charge your car from 10% to 100% in around 8.7 hours.
Refreshed Design & Smart Interior: Style Meets Tech
The 2025 Tiago EV boasts a refreshed look and an even smarter cabin:
- Sleek Exterior Updates: The car now sports stylish new LED headlamps with a slightly smoked finish, replacing the older halogen units. The grille and front air dam have been subtly redesigned for a more modern appearance, and a new shark-fin antenna adds to its premium feel. The “EV” badge has also been cleverly repositioned on the front doors.
- Premium Interior: Step inside to a fresh black and grey cabin theme. A standout feature is the new 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, which adds a touch of sophistication. While some variants now feature comfortable fabric seats (replacing leatherette), these are often preferred for India’s warm climate.
Loaded with Technology and Comfort:
- Giant 10.25-inch Floating Touchscreen: This is a major highlight! The large, vibrant touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless smartphone integration. It even allows for video streaming via Tata’s iRA.ev connected car suite, keeping you entertained on the go.
- Updated Digital Driver’s Display: Essential driving information is presented clearly and modernly.
- Convenience Features: Enjoy cruise control for effortless highway journeys, automatic LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, an electric tailgate release, and a cooled glove box – all designed for a comfortable ride.
- Top-Tier Safety: Safety is paramount with dual airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Program (ESC), Hill Hold Assist, and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). A rear parking camera with guidelines makes tricky parking spots a breeze.
With its appealing price point, practical range options, and a host of advanced features, the 2025 Tata Tiago EV firmly establishes itself as a leading choice for anyone in India seeking an efficient, smart, and safe electric hatchback for the modern age.
