Amazing pricing and launch by Tata. Now we have to watch for how much of backorders this may end up generating. I'm sure this will have quite a long wait. Guess we need to book this for delivery in 2024 or so...

Did no one notice the power figures? Keep hearing about how the Tiago and Tigor are underpowered, and how they may be just fine for the city, but do not have the grunt required at highway speeds, Isn't it queer that Tata decided to further reduce the power on this, when getting even more powerful motors shouldn't have been a problem, both cost wise, or packaging wise? From the photos of the front bay, it seems that they could have easily achieved that.

Does Tiago EV get steel wheels across the range? It doesn't seem to be mentioned clearly anywhere. The wheels shown on cars in video ads appear to be alloys. But they look very different from images on the website and brochure. Also, brochure specifications just list "full wheel covers" for all variants (XZ+ variants get Hyper Wheel styled, but they are still wheel covers apparently).



Wheels in video ads (look like alloys):



Wheels in the brochure (look like wheel covers, probably on steel wheels?):

Does anyone know if the Tiago EV has top speed restrictions? Hope it's not limited to 80 KPH.

IMHO, due to the lower powered motor, I don't think they need to employ any electronic speed limitations, don't see this going beyond 100 KMPH, And surely so for the lower range, lower powered variant

Wow outstanding job by TATA. A few years back I thought we would get a decent EV below 10lac only by the latter half of the decade. Kudos to TATA motors for making EVs more accessible.

Where to book one once booking starts? will it be online, centrally controlled like the Mahindra booking systems, or do we need to go to a dealer and ask him tog in our bookings first ?

Very, very competitive pricing. Even if it is introductory and restricted to the first 10,000 buyers or whatever.
Beads of sweat must be forming on the collective foreheads of Maruti, Mahindra & Hyundai as their bosses size up what to do next. MG also gets a new headache and has to think of new ways to differentiate their two door small EV when they launch it next year.

If the Tiago EV car performs well, without glitches, TML has a huge hit on their hands.
Tiago, as a brand, already has a large user base, and notwithstanding the crude and rough nature of its ICE powertrain, it has turned out to be a proven and pretty relaible product.
Dial in a solid and safe build, stable high speed driving manners, nicely calibrated steering and decent cabin plastics, this small hatch sells in steady numbers to get the volumes for TML
If these same virtues can be found in the Tiago EV, then TML has a potential winner on their hands.
Not only it will draw in new buyers into their fold, but existing owners of Tata's higher prices vehicles such as the Harrier, Safari, Nexon may start looking at the EV Tiago as an additional car to their family fleet.

This is going to be the new 'Bread & Butter' model for the new age Tata.

Great pricing strategy:
1. Starting price less than what people expected
Reaction: Heads turning and shouting 'Wow!'

2. Sell cars like hot cakes
Reaction: I too need one, this fits in my budget.

3. Entice people looking at top end with better models like Altroz EV and Nexon Max EV
Reaction: Too much waiting time for Tiago EV, i'll book the next model (only few lakhs difference, I don't mind).

Finally, Tata becomes not just the EV leader in India, but with growing slaes, will invest more in R&D and improve the whole EV industry in India.

Good times ahead, All the best Tata!

I believe we can expect an eV to be among the top 10 in the monthly sales chart. Wonderful!

Electric vehicles have instant torque. These will be much better to drive than their ICE variants.

Trust me after having owned both tigor and Tiago in petrol form and now the Tigor ev, the performance and smoothness of the EV is far superior to the petrol counterparts. The instant power and jerk free drive makes city driving an absolute breeze and for quick overtakes s mode is more than powerful. All fun gets over by 120 km/h which is it's top speed though.

Looks like an awesome offering. Tata now clearly the leader in EV space, others have quite some work to do.

Instead of those smart connecting features and leatherette seats, i would have loved to have ventilated seats on this one.

I wont be surprised if there is be a VOLT edition down the line with the ventilated seats, wireless charging, new external colour theme with accentuated interiors in same colour and 30k extra over the top variant. The #FOREVERNEW philosophy is working out in addressing the "oh i wish they had just this one thing" kind of feedback in under a year. May be too many special edition is a downer but it is working out for them. Kudos.
