India’s most affordable electric hatchback gets a bold new face, a smarter cabin, and a price cut—starting from just ₹6.99 lakh.
In keeping with its pledge to make electric vehicles affordable for the average consumer, Tata Motors has formally unveiled the 2026 Tiago EV facelift in India. The revised electric hatchback, which was unveiled on May 28, 2026, has a renovated cabin, a new exterior, and—most importantly—a cheaper price tag than its predecessor.
The price of the pre-facelift Tiago EV was ₹7.99 lakh. At launch, the new model is the most reasonably priced modern electric hatchback in India, starting at ₹6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). At ₹9.99 lakh, the premium Creative Plus 24 Long Range model is significantly less expensive than the previous model, which cost ₹11.14 lakh when fully loaded.
“Tata has slashed prices by up to ₹1 lakh while adding more features — a rare combination in the EV segment.”
Design & exterior
The Tiago EV now reflects Tata’s more recent design aesthetic thanks to the update. The vehicle has a closed-off, body-colored grille, a classic EV-style cue, and slim LED headlamps with brow-like LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) up front. Redesigned 14-inch alloy wheels with contrasting wheel-arch cladding complement the updated bumper’s false air vents at the edges. Connected LED tail lamps and an updated bumper complete the outward modifications at the back.
In keeping with Tata’s custom of evocative, Indian-inspired color names, the Tiago EV is available in six exterior colors: Dehradun Dew, Sobo Surge, Pangong Pulse, Matheran Monsoon, Pure Grey, and Pristine White.
Interior & technology
The cabin’s inside has been entirely renovated. The focal point is a partially digital TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and a floating 10.25-inch touchscreen entertainment system. In addition to linked car technology with over 40 features, adjustable climate control, dual wireless charging pads, and a cooled glove box, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard.
- 10.25″ floating screen: With wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Two battery options: 19.2 kWh (223 km) and 24 kWh (293 km)
- 6 airbags standard: ESC, EBD, 360° camera & ISOFIX
- 40+ connected features: Upgraded E&E architecture with more processing power
Powertrain & range
Two battery configurations are still available from Tata. With a stated MIDC range of 223 km, the base 19.2 kWh pack generates 62 PS and 110 Nm of torque. With a stated 293 km on a full charge, the long-range 24 kWh option increases output to 75 PS and 114 Nm, which is sufficient for the majority of urban and intercity use situations.
Pricing & BaaS scheme
| Variant Category | Model | Price (Ex-Showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-Level EV | Smart 19 | ₹6.99 Lakh |
| Mid-Range Variants | Multiple Variants | ₹7.00 Lakh – ₹9.00 Lakh |
| Top-End Variant | Creative+ 24 | ₹9.99 Lakh |
Tata is providing the Tiago EV under its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program for customers wishing to further reduce the entrance hurdle. With a use fee of ₹2.60 per kilometer driven, the beginning price under BaaS decreases to just ₹4.69 lakh ex-showroom—a special model that separates the cost of the car from the battery.
With this redesign, Tata Motors has accomplished the uncommon feat of adding more features to a well-liked EV while lowering its cost. The 2026 Tiago EV faces competition in the market for reasonably priced EV hatchbacks, but it presents one of the best arguments for widespread EV adoption in India to date thanks to its cheap pricing, service network, and brand trust.
