Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Carens
- Looks unique, in a good way.
- Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
- Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
- Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
- Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
- Automatic transmission option with both engines
Tata Tigor EV
- 170-220 km of realistic range makes it a solid city commuter.
- 0-80% fast charge time of 65 minutes.
- Comfortable ride quality, soaks up undulations really well.
- Spacious cabin for four six-footers. Can seat five at a pinch.

Kia Carens
- Missing some premium features
- Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
- 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile
Tata Tigor EV
- Spare wheel placed in boot, reducing available space.
- Silly feature omissions: alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear-adjustable headrests
- Interior quality, while acceptable for a sub-Rs 10 lakh Tigor, doesn’t feel up to the mark on a Rs 13 lakh Tigor EV
- Range / battery percentage read-outs could’ve been calibrated for more accuracy.
