It’s the only variant if you want a contrasting black roof and a fully kitted out version of the electric hatchback

Tata Tiago EV

Tata is offering two battery packs and charger options with the newly launched Tiago EV. The latter are available only with the top-spec XZ+ and XZ+ Tech Lux trims. The XZ+ Tech Lux is also packing in a few more features to make the experience a tad premium. Is it reasonable enough to stretch your budget, though?

XZ+ Tech Lux	Rs 11.29 lakh	Rs 11.79 lakh

Why Consider The Tiago EV XZ+ Tech Lux?

If you want a fully equipped Tiago EV with either a 3.3kW or 7.2kW AC charger, the XZ+ Tech Lux is your only option. It is also in this trim that the premiumness is the most enhanced thanks to the inclusion of leatherette seats, push-button start/stop, leather-wrapped steering wheel and electric tailgate release. And if you are someone who likes a dual-tone exterior on the car, it is only this trim which comes with the option of a contrasting black roof.

Here’s what it offers:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Highlight features	Optional black roof Projector auto headlights with LED DRLs	Leatherette upholstery Leather-wrapped steering wheel	Push-button start/stop Electric tailgate release	7-inch touchscreen	Reversing camera
Other features	Stylised wheel covers Front fog lamps	Chrome inside door handle Knitted headliner Rear parcel shelf Cooled glovebox	Cruise control Rear wiper, washer and defogger Rain sensing wipers Electrically adjustable ORVMs Front and rear power outlet Digitised instrument cluster	Four tweeters and four speakers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay	Dual front airbags TPMS ABS with EBD

What Could Have Been Better About The Tiago EV XZ+ Tech Lux?

Tata has done a good job by offering a bunch of features in the Tiago EV, some of which are even from segments above such as cruise control and a tyre pressure monitoring system. However, we feel Tata could have done better by offering more for the money such as alloy wheels or maybe larger 15-inch wheels, air purifier and adjustable headrests at the rear.

Variant	Verdict
XE	Consider it for a runabout EV on a tight budget
XT	Recommended with the larger battery pack as an affordable entry-level EV
XZ+	Consider it as a practical EV alternative with a decent set of features
XZ+ Tech Lux	Go for the top-spec variant only if you want a slightly premium experience
