In a surprise move, Tata Motors has reduced the prices for the Tata Nexon EV and Tiago EV! The prices for the former now start at Rs 14.49 lakh, ex-showroom, (reduced by Rs 25,000) while the Long Range variant is now priced at Rs 16.99 lakh onwards, ex-showroom, (reduced by Rs 1.2 lakh). The most affordable Tata EV, the Tiago EV, is now affordable by up to Rs 70,000, with prices now starting at Rs 7.99 lakh, ex-showroom.
The recent reduction in the costs of battery cells, a major contributor to the price of an EV, has been cited as the reason for this price cut. Although, the recent price revision for the MG ZS EV, Comet and the arrival of the Mahindra XUV400 Pro range might have also played a role in the price reduction for both cars.
The recently updated Nexon EV currently holds the crown for the best selling electric car in the country and is on offer with two battery pack options – 30kWh and 40.5kWh. The former is paired to a 129PS motor and delivers a claimed range of 325km while the latter gets a more powerful 145PS motor with a claimed range of 465km on a single charge. It is also a feature packed car with a fully-digital instrument cluster and a big 12.5-inch infotainment display being two of the highlights.
The Tiago EV was first launched in 2022 and also comes with two battery pack options – 19.2kWh and 24kWh. They offer a claimed range of 250km and 315km and are paired to a 61PS and 75PS motor, respectively. It gets features like connected car tech and Android Auto Apple CarPlay.
The prices for other Tata Motor EVs, the Punch EV and Tigor EV remain unchanged, though. The Nexon EV primarily competes against the Mahindra XUV400 and its top variant prices coincide with the MG ZS EV. On the other hand, the Tiago EV competes against the MG Comet and Citroen e-C3.
