Overview
- Tata unveiled the fully refreshed 2026 Tiago range, which launched Thursday, with petrol, factory‑fitted iCNG and EV variants and introductory ex‑showroom prices starting at Rs 4.69 lakh for petrol and Rs 6.99 lakh for the EV.
- The Tiago EV is offered with two LFP battery packs — 19.2 kWh (claimed 226 km MIDC) and 24 kWh (claimed 285 km MIDC) — faster 30 kW DC charging that reaches 20–80% in about 35 minutes, and a lifetime high‑voltage battery warranty.
- Tata is marketing a Battery‑as‑a‑Service (BaaS) route that cuts the EV entry price to Rs 4.69 lakh by charging a per‑km battery rental, and the company lists both outright and BaaS pricing across three EV trims.
- The refresh standardises stronger safety and premium kit with six airbags and ESC across the range, adds segment‑leading features such as a 360° camera and a digitised dual‑screen cabin, and fits all AMT models with a rotary selector and paddle shifters; the Tiago is the only car in its immediate segment to offer a CNG‑AMT option.
- Tata says EV bookings have jumped roughly 2–2.5x and it plans to lift monthly EV production from about 9–10k units toward roughly 15k units, though the company says supplier capacity for batteries and components remains the key constraint to faster scale‑up.
