Tata Tigor EV spied, long-range under development?
A test mule of a Tata Tigor EV has sparked rumours of a long-range version of the electric sedan. The Tata Nexon EV is set to get a larger 40 kWh battery pack early next month and the Tigor EV could well follow the electric SUV.
Tata Tigor EV specifications, rangeThe Tigor EV uses Tata Motor's Ziptron high-voltage electric architecture to return an ARAI-certified range of 306 km. A 26 kWh liquid-cooled battery powers a 75PS and 170 Nm permanent magnet electric motor.
Among the Tata Tigor EV's other highlights is the fact that it is the first Indian EV to be subjected to a Global NCAP crash test, where it has scored a 4-star safety rating which matches the petrol-powered version.
Tata Tigor EV long-range expected range
The Tata Tigor EV long-range could well get the 30.2 kWh battery pack from the current Nexon EV. Alongside this, there should be a bump up in power and torque although outputs should stay below the Nexon Ev at around 100PS and 200 Nm. As for the real-world range, the long-range Tigor EV should see this rise to about 230 to 240 km from the current real-world figure of around 204 km.
Tata Tigor EV expected price, launch dateThe long-range Tigor EV should debut later this year if indeed it is under development. Prices should see a Rs 60,000 to Rs 75,000 hike over the current versions of the Tigor EV. Prices for the electric sedan currently start from Rs 12.24 lakh ex-showroom.
