Tata Motors is on a mission to expand its range of personal electric vehicles. The company has established a special subsidiary dubbed "Tata Passenger Electric Mobility" to make EVs more accessible to the general public. The brand wants to create personal electric vehicles for every market group under this branch. Tata Motors established its position in the personal electric mobility market with the Nexon EV before introducing the Tigor EV and most recently, the Tiago EV. In India, the Tiago EV has now surpassed the Tigor EV as the most affordable EV. In this post, we'll compare the Tiago EV vs Tata Tigor EV to see what they have to offer.

Tata Tiago EV Vs Tigor EV - Dimensions
Since the Tiago EV is a hatchback and the Tigor EV is a compact sedan, they each serve distinct car segments. But first, let's look at the table to see how the various dimensions differ.
| Dimensions | Tata Tiago EV | Tata Tigor EV |
| Length | 3,769 mm | 3,993 mm |
| Width | 1,677 mm | 1,677 mm |
| Height | 1,536 mm | 1,532 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,400 mm | 2,450 mm |
The Tigor EV is 224 mm longer than the Tiago EV due to the enlarged boot, which is the most noticeable difference in this instance. Since both cars have the same width, both EVs will have the same amount of shoulder room. Now, the Tiago EV is only 4 mm taller than the Tigor EV, and the Tigor EV's wheelbase is 50 mm longer than the Tiago EV's.
Tata Tiago EV Vs Tata Tigor EV - Powertrain & Battery Pack
When EVs are concerned their powertrain is the main thing. Both the EVs from Tata Motors use the same Ziptron technology but boast different specifications.
| Specifications | Tata Tiago EV | Tata Tigor EV |
| Battery Pack | 19.2 kWh/24 kWh | 26 kWh |
| Power | 60 bhp/74 bhp | 74 bhp |
| Torque | 110 Nm/114 Nm | 170 Nm |
| Claimed Range | 250 km/ 315 km (MIDC) | 306 km (ARAI) |
| Charging Time | Up to 6.4 hrs with 3.3 kW home charger Up to 3.6 hrs with 7.2 kW AC fast charger 10-80% in 57 minutes with 25kW DC fast charger | 0%-80% in 8 hours 45 minutes from 15A plug point 0%-80% in 65 minutes from any 25 kW DC charger |
Two alternative battery packs are included with the Tiago EV to make it more accessible to more people. Additionally, because the battery packs in the Tiago EV are smaller than those in the Tigor EV, the Tiago EV charges faster than the Tigor EV. In terms of range, the Tiago EV has a longer range on paper, however, it is MIDC range rather than ARAI, thus the range in real life may differ. Both EVs comes with a 8 Year/ 1,60,000 km (whichever is earlier) battery warranty.
