The 2025 Tata Tiago.ev Facelift has been launched in India with a price tag between Rs. 7.99 - Rs. 11.14 lakhs (ex-showroom).



Since the Tata Tiago EV has already been reviewed by Team-BHP, this report will only focus on changes made to the 2025 facelift. To read the full official review, click here.

Introduction

Back in 2022, Tata Motors launched its entry-level electric vehicle, the Tiago EV in India. While it was priced at a massive premium over the Tiago petrol, it was still one of the most affordable electric cars available in the country. Thanks to its size and adequate power and range, it was also a great city runabout. Now in 2025, to keep it looking fresh and appealing, Tata Motors has given the Tiago EV (and Tiago petrol) some updates. These updates include some cosmetic changes and feature additions. Let's have a look at what's new.

The first change is in the very name of the car. In line with the other EVs in Tata's range, the Tiago EV is now called Tiago.ev. Then, there are some new colours on offer - Chill Lime, Arizona Blue and Supernova Copper. While the Teal Blue, Daytona Grey, and Pristine White shades have been retained, the Midnight Plum colour has been discontinued.

On the inside, the Tiago.ev gets a new two-spoke steering wheel as we have seen in recent Tata cars, dual-tone fabric upholstery and a tablet-like touchscreen head-unit instead of an integrated one. There are changes to the instrument cluster too.

In terms of new features, the car gets LED headlamps, a sharkfin antenna with GPS, a 10.25-inch floating touchscreen head-unit with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, fast charging Type-C USB port and a pollen filter. The front foglamps, 4 tweeters and leatherette upholstery, which were there on the outgoing car, have been left out though. Coming to the safety features and driving aids, the Tiago.ev now gets ISOFIX child seat anchors, 3-point seatbelts and sensors for all three rear seat occupants, reverse parking sensors, ESP and hill hold.

What's not changed is the powertrain and suspension. The car continues with the same 19.2 kWh (MR) and 24 kWh (LR) battery options as before. The Tiago.ev is powered by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor that puts out 60 BHP & 110 Nm in the MR version and 74 BHP & 114 Nm in the LR version. However, the claimed range (MIDC) sees a slight drop. The MR version's range has come down from 250 km to 223 km, while the LR version's range sees a reduction from 315 km to 293 km. The real-world range is estimated to be 168 km and 205 km for the two variants respectively.

The Tiago.ev is offered in XE MR, XT MR, XT LR and XZ+ Lux Tech LR variants priced at Rs. 7.99 lakhs, Rs. 8.99 lakhs, Rs. 10.14 lakhs and Rs. 11.14 lakhs, respectively.

The Tiago.ev is offered with a standard warranty of 3 years / 125,000 km. You can extend it by 3 years or up to 1,60,000 km. The battery pack comes with an 8-year / 160,000 km warranty.

Changes to the front include reworked headlamps, a restyled grille and a tweaked bumper:


At the rear, things remain unchanged:


On the sides, other than the placement of the ".EV" badges and detailing on the hyperstyle wheel covers, there is no change:


Measuring 3,769 mm in length, 1,677 mm in width, and 1,536 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,400 mm, the dimensions of the Tiago.ev remain unchanged:


Looks great in this Supernova Copper colour:


LEDs replace halogen units in the top variant. Sadly, no projectors here:


While the top variant gets automatic headlamps, the follow-me-home function has been provided from the mid variant upwards:


Radiator grille is finished in glossy black and has no detailing. The "T" badge is new, while the blue ".EV" badge has been left out. Humanity line below the grille is now finished in brushed silver and no longer blue:


Air dam grille has been redesigned. Foglamps are no longer available:


Blue ".EV" badges are pasted low on the front doors instead of the body panels:


14-inch hyperstyle wheel covers sse a mild change in their detailing:


Socket for the regular charger on the top and one for the faster charger below. Charging options include 3.3 kW and 7.2 kW (optional) AC wall box chargers, DC fast charging and a 15A portable charger:


Outdated wire antenna has been replaced by a sharkfin unit with GPS:


Like the front, the "T" badge is new. "TIAGO.EV" lettering is finished in black vs the chrome and blue of the outgoing car:


While the design of the rear bumper is unchanged, it now houses two parking sensors:


No change under the bonnet:

In keeping with the times, the Tiago.ev gets a floating touchscreen head unit. Other changes include a two-spoke steering wheel from the Tata parts bin and dual-tone fabric upholstery. The blue inserts found at various places on the dashboard have disappeared:


Leatherette-wrapped two-spoke steering wheel with a flat bottom and silver insert is taken from other Tata cars. It comes with a backlit "T" badge and buttons. The light colour will result in it getting soiled very easily:


Buttons for the audio system, telephony, and voice commands are placed on the left spoke, while cruise control buttons and toggle switch to scroll through the MID are placed on the right spoke:


Digital instrument cluster gets new graphics. The meter on the left shows how much power is being used or regenerated (dependent on the accelerator input, similar to an ICE car's rpm counter). You have a battery level indicator on the right and above that, you get the regen level indicator:


MID is pretty basic and shows the time, outside temperature, odometer, two trip meters, speed, charge level, transmission mode, range, average energy consumption (AEC), etc. The ‘Ready’ sign below the transmission mode indicates that the car is ready to drive:


Selected transmission mode (R, N, D & S) is displayed on the left of the MID. As mentioned earlier, the rear seat gets occupant sensors. The display is on the right of the MID. The door open warning display is below. It shows the exact door (or hatch) that is open. No warning for the bonnet though:


A/C vents get glossy black housings with chrome inserts. However, they do not get blue highlights any more:


Even the top variant now gets fabric upholstery. No leatherette on offer here:


A closer look at the fabric upholstery and contrast white stitching. Quality of fabric is acceptable:


Apart from the floating touchscreen at the top and a change in the shape and placement of the A/C vents, the centre fascia remains identical in design to the outgoing car:


10.25-inch floating touchscreen head-unit is easy to use and has good response times:


It gets wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Through iRA.ev app, you can get telematics and smartphone & smartwatch connectivity:


Touchscreen also serves as a display for the climate control system:


Navigation is through Android Auto/Apple CarPlay:


You also get a rear-view camera display with adaptive guidelines and a parking sensor display. Camera quality is very good for a car of this price:


A/C vents are located below the touchscreen head unit. They get a chrome outline and a glossy black console with "TIAGO.EV" lettering:


Hazard light switch has been moved from between the A/C vents to this array below the A/C vents. Since foglamps have been deleted, the switch has gone too. The door lock/unlock switch has been deleted as well:


Climate control system now comes with an inbuilt pollen filter:


A fast-charging Type-C USB port has been added between the Type-A USB port and 12V power outlet:


Rear seats get identical upholstery to the front units:


3-point seatbelts and sensors have been provided for all occupants. What is irritating is that even if there is no one in the rear and the seatbelts are not buckled in, the seatbelt warning chime starts sounding as the car starts moving. A simple load sensor should solve this issue. The chime stops after a while:


All variants are equipped with ISOFIX child seat anchors:

Disappointing that there are no powertrain or battery upgrades. While I appreciate the 50k discount, it isn't sufficient to make up for the large improvement in EV battery technology over the last 3 years IMO.

[lemedico]

Dear Tata and Maruti, please install sensors in your seats to stop the seatbelt warnings from buzzing at each start up. This only promotes the sale of seatbelt dummies

I close friend recently bought the MR one in Chilli Lime to replace their aging e2o plus. I loved the colour. I took a small drive around town in the same. In D mode its just about adequate for city use, while the regen even in the lowest setting is pretty irritating especially if you are not used to it when you let go of the throttle.
In S mode it's a sprightly little beast. Quite fun actually, however at the cost of charge/ range depleting pretty rapidly. I guess the LR with more power will be more fun. However, for the price they are sold, I would still stick to ICE unless my usage justifies one.

[ArTigor]

Nice to see Tata constantly updating the Tiago, but frankly it is too long in the tooth. The Tiago is almost a 10 year old car without a major generation change. A 10 year old designed body and interiors, is not really attractive today. The floating screen and steering looks completely non cohesive with the theme of interior layout.
Let's hope Tata has sorted the niggles here with the electric architecture.
This car begs for a 'Generation' change, if I am buying an EV today with 2025 tech then I also want a 2025 car, not an EV tech packaged in 2016 car.

For comparison between 2016 and 2025 Maruti sold 3 different generations of Swift!

I have booked the XZ+ TechLux and will be getting delivered next week. Booked top end only because I wanted proper hill hold (via ESP), not hill assist. Further to what is mentioned, below items are now deleted.

1. 4 tweeters - only the 4 speakers are there. The interior panels do show the perforations for tweeters but it's empty. The speakers are bass heavy though.

2. Auto IRVM - Replaced with Manual type. Auto IRVM available as accessory for ~Rs.6500

3. Auto fold ORVM - Just not there, as optional accessory also.

4. Knitted roof liner - replaced with regular (non-woven?) type.


Apart from this, while the list of features includes cooled glovebox, and the glovebox has the port, it wasn't working in the TD vehicle as well as the one I PDI'd. Not a biggie for me but if the brochure says, then it should be there

[ads11]

Feature deletion is always a bummer. But glad Tata aren't neglecting this car. I wish the price came down further. How is the entry spec loaded? I wonder if there's a threshold price at which Tata could move units for potential demand for EV runabouts. But I guess given the conversation constraints on the ability of this platform and lack of margins, no incentive for either customers or the OEM. Shame really. The Tiago is such a handsome little car. I think it's aging very gracefully thanks to it's textbook profile.

The warranty terms seem to have changed. My 2023 Tiago EV came with a 3 years/100,000kms warranty. If I remember correctly, extended warranty was for 5 years/1,25,000 kms which I did not take as my running is around 30,000 kms per year.

If they have changed the extended warranty to 6 years/160,000 kms, I will consider taking it. Hope they are offering this for older cars too.
