Which Tata Tiago EV is the base model, and what does it cost?

The Smart, from ₹6.99L ex-showroom, is where the Tiago EV range starts. Features you get even here: 6 airbags and ESC. What you give up against the top Creative Plus: no 360° camera, no blind spot monitor and Halogen headlamps against LED projector, and 6 more.

Which Tata Tiago EV is the top model, and what does it cost?

The Creative Plus tops the range at ₹10.09L ex-showroom. Over the base Smart it adds 360° camera, blind spot monitor and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), and 6 more.

What do the Tata Tiago EV trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and Tata uses 3 names for them on the Tiago EV: in its own order they run Smart, Pure Plus and Creative Plus. The name is not the car, though: Pure Plus alone covers 2 variants, differing in battery rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 4 variants cost ₹6.99L to ₹10.09L, ex-showroom.

₹7,10,657 to ₹11,36,692 on the road

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the Smart Electric AT comes to ₹7,10,657 in Aizawl and ₹7,84,052 in Patna, a difference of ₹73,395 on the identical car. Of the 17 states we can price it in, 10 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar comes out highest. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ High mileage owners report the motor and battery giving no trouble, one at 47,000km over three years and another at 38,000km+ Soft suspension that suits broken city roads, and it holds up better on the highway than expected+ Cheap to run and quiet, which is why several owners describe it as the ideal second car− No crash test result exists for the Tiago EV, from any programme, and the petrol car's four star rating does not transfer to it− Real range lands well short of the claim, and summer traffic with the air conditioning on makes the gap worse again− The connected car app is unreliable, and after the first year it costs Rs 3,528 a year to keep

5 more things owners and testers say

+ Autocar India's long-termer did the Mumbai to Pune run, ghats included, on one charge with about 10 percent left+ The 2026 car charges 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes rather than 45, and adds a 360 degree camera, six airbags and rear air vents− Road and wind noise build more than they should at highway speeds− The 2026 update answers several of the complaints above, so anything written about an older Tiago EV needs checking against the car in the showroom− Individual owners of the earlier car report battery faults, and Tata's record on battery replacements in this class is a live worry among owners, though the 2026 car's much longer battery cover takes most of the money out of that risk

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
