Tata Tigor EV is
on display at Auto Expo 2018. Production of the pure electric sedan commenced
just two months back, in December.
The Tata Tigor EV has the same dimensions as the
Tata Tigor. It measures 3,992 mm in length, 1,677 mm in width and 1,537 in
height. It has a 2,450 mm wheelbase and a 170 mm ground clearance. Powering
this sub-4 metre sedan, however, is an electric motor manufactured by Electra
EV. A 216 Ah battery is the power source, and it takes 6 hours to fully charge.
Using a fast charger, this battery is chargeable from 0-80% in just 90 minutes,
though.
The Tata Tigor EV features exterior modifications
similar to that of the Tata Tiago EV, in order to set itself apart from the
regular Tata Tigor. Its distinguished front-end consists of a black nose cone
with blue ‘EV’ badge on it and a blue accent strip at the bottom and fog lamps
with blue accent.
Changes on the sides include blue ‘EV’ decals, blue
‘EV’ badge on the right-side fender, black ORVMs and blue accent on the 15-inch
alloy wheels. At the rear, the tailgate garnish is in blue, and so are the E
and V letters of the name badge. Like on the Tata Tiago EV, a ‘Powered by
Electra EV’ sticker and ‘EV’ decals are also there. The roof is in black to go
with the tri-colour scheme.
The Tata Tigor EV’s production takes place in
Sanand, Gujarat, where the Tata Tigor is also made. Currently, Tata Motors is
producing the car only for the Indian government.
