Tata to Introduce Tigor EV in Nepal
Tata Motors is preparing to launch the Tigor EV in Nepal in the coming weeks. It is the least expensive electric vehicle in the manufacturer's lineup. The Tata Tigor EV is based on Ziptron technology and comes in four models: XE, XM, XZ+, and XZ+ DT. The electric sedan also received a 4-star rating in the Global NCAP crash tests and shared the Nexon EV's powertrain. The new Tigor EV, according to the company, is based on the standard Tigor facelift that was introduced last year.
The new Tata Tigor EV features an IP67-rated 26kWh battery pack and an electric motor with a peak power output of 55 kW and a peak torque output of 170 Nm. These output figures allow for a 5.7-second 0-60kph time (claimed). It has a claimed range of 306km according to ARAI. The 2021 Tigor EV can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in an hour using fast charging and 8.5 hours using a home charger or any 15 A plug point. It also includes a battery and motor warranty for 8 years or 1.6 lakh kilometers.
The new Tigor EV is based on the standard Tigor facelift in terms of styling. Blue accents are added to the Tigor EV's headlamps and 14-inch stylized steel wheels. Projector headlamps, LED Daytime Running Lamps, auto AC, a height-adjustable driver seat, and a 7-inch Harman touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are all standard on the new Tigor EV. In terms of safety, the EV includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, an optional rear parking camera, and seat belt reminder, among other features.
The Tigor EV comes in two colors: Daytona Grey and Signature Teal Blue. Tigor EV will be the most affordable EV available to private buyers in Nepal once it is launched. The Tigor EV price in Nepal has not yet been disclosed. While it does not have any direct competitors, it will compete with the upcoming Mahindra KUV100 EV.
