Is the 2026 Tata Tiago EV still the best value electric hatchback in the country? Do check out our detailed range test in the link below
Tata Motors has given the Tiago EV its biggest update since launch and the changes go well beyond cosmetic tweaks. The 2026 Tiago EV Facelift arrives at a time when the segment sees increased acceptance from consumers. We recently spent an extended period with the top-spec variant and conducted a comprehensive 100-0 per cent range evaluation to understand whether the updated Tiago EV still deserves a place at the top of the entry-level electric car segment.
Under the skin, the top-end variant continues with Tata’s 24 kWh battery pack offering a certified range of 285 km. Power is delivered through a front-mounted electric motor producing close to 75 hp and 114 Nm of torque. While these numbers may not appear particularly impressive on paper, the instant torque delivery transforms the way the car feels in city conditions.
Acceleration from standstill is brisk and overtaking slower traffic requires minimal effort. The compact dimensions combined with light steering make navigating crowded urban environments remarkably easy. The facelift introduces a sharper exterior appearance with revised LED lighting elements, a redesigned front fascia, new alloy wheel designs and subtle updates to the rear.
Despite its age, the Tiago’s proportions continue to work well and the facelift helps disguise the platform’s maturity. Fit and finish levels have also improved, particularly on the inside. It comprises a revised dashboard, a 26.03 cm HD touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a new digital instrument cluster, iRA.ev connectivity with in-car connected tech, dual smartphone deck with wireless charging and more.
Other key features are automatic temperature control, rear AC vents, seats with extended under thigh support, 65W front Type-C USB, cruise control, a four speaker surround system, six airbags as standard, a 360 degree SVS HD camera with multiple 2D and 3D views, a Blind View Monitor, 360 degree impact protection body structure, ESP with traction control, ABS with EBD, Corner Stability Control, Hill Hold Control and more.
In the video linked above, we have explained about the new affordable e-hatchback in detail and it is sold in four variants namely Smart 19, Pure+ 19, Pure+ 24 and Creative+ 24. It also boasts a lifetime high voltage battery warranty on the 24 kWh pack (15 years for first time owner).
