Tata Tiago EV vs Toyota Glanza: which should you buy?
The Toyota Glanza starts at ₹6.73L against the Tata Tiago EV's ₹6.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.26L cheaper to get into.
Both ladders top out at ₹9.99L, so they run together the whole way.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Tiago EV comes in electric, the Glanza in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Tiago EV Creative Plus at ₹9.99L or the Glanza V at ₹9.99L.
Our take
Same money either way, so take the Glanza V: 360° camera and head-up display. The useful extras on top: speakers (6 against 4) and cruise control. The rest of the additions are minor trim.
- The Glanza swallows the most luggage at 318 litres
- The Tiago EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Glanza V: height-adjustable driver seat and 60:40 split rear seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Glanza V, you give up touchscreen (10.25" against 9"), wireless CarPlay / Android Auto and drive modes, which the Tiago EV Creative Plus keeps
- Choose the Tata Tiago EV Creative Plus if
- The budget pick, with EV running costs on top
- Choose the Toyota Glanza V if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
