Which Tata Tigor EV variant should you buy?
Best value for money: XT, at ₹50,000 over the XE. No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.
Above that, the one to think hardest about is XZ Plus Lux, at ₹26,000 over XZ Plus. Of the 2 steps above the best-value one, none is worse value for money, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. XE to XT asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 17 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, XE to XT: ₹50,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹50,500 to ₹55,750 on the road. 10 of them are level at the lowest, and Bihar comes out highest, across the 17 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
In each of those states we ranked the 3 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
Where the features that matter land
- Airbags
- All 2 are standard from the base XE, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety features
- XT, from ₹12.99L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
The good news
Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.- Cheapest automatic
- XE Electric AT, ₹12.49L
- Airbags
- Every Tigor EV has 6 or more airbags, the base XE included, so there is no step to pay for.
- Cruise control
- You need the XZ Plus Lux, from ₹13.75L, for cruise control: ₹1.26L over where the Tigor EV opens.
No Tigor EV has ADAS, a 360 camera, a sunroof or ventilated seats at any price, on any trim.
