Tata Tiago EV soon to be launched in Nepal
Following the launch of the Tiago EV in India, Sipradi Trading Pvt. Ltd–the sole distributor of Tata vehicles in Nepal–is readying to launch the all-new Tiago EV in Nepal. The Tiago EV is based on the latest ICE-powered Tiago and it gets the brand’s Ziptron technology.
Design
The Tiago.ev inherits the design elements of its facelifted ICE-powered Tiago model. However, the EV’s front fascia features a refreshed grille with .EV badge that extends to the projector headlamps with DRLs. The EV comes with dual-coloured roof and blue highlights throughout the body.
Inside, the EV comes with leather-upholstered seats and the driver’s seat is height adjustable. On the dashboard is a steering wheel with mounted control buttons and behind it is a digital instrument console that displays a speedometer and tachometer dial. For infotainment, the EV comes equipped with a 7-inch HARMAN touchscreen display that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The Tiago EV is offered in two IP67-rated battery options: a 19.2 kWh (for XE and XT) and a 24 kWh (for XT, XZ+, and XZ+ Tech lux).

The EV can be charged from 10-100 % in 5.1 hours via a 3.3 kW home charger and the same amount can be charged in 2.6 hours using a 7.2kW AC charger. In addition, the battery is also compatible with a DC fast charger.
