Pros & Cons
- Pros
- Cons
Tata Tigor EV
- 170-220 km of realistic range makes it a solid city commuter.
- 0-80% fast charge time of 65 minutes.
- Comfortable ride quality, soaks up undulations really well.
- Spacious cabin for four six-footers. Can seat five at a pinch.
Volkswagen Virtus
- Classy, understated styling. Sporty GT variant on offer too
- Feature-loaded: 8-inch digital driver’s display, 10.1-inch touchscreen, ventilated seats, electric sunroof are among the highlights
- 521 litre boot is segment leading. 60:40 split rear seats bumps up practicality
- Strong engine options: 1- and 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engines promise excitement
Tata Tigor EV
- Spare wheel placed in boot, reducing available space.
- Silly feature omissions: alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear-adjustable headrests
- Interior quality, while acceptable for a sub-Rs 10 lakh Tigor, doesn’t feel up to the mark on a Rs 13 lakh Tigor EV
- Range / battery percentage read-outs could’ve been calibrated for more accuracy.
Volkswagen Virtus
- Lack of width and strong seat contouring means the Virtus is best used as a four seater
- No diesel engine option. Verna and City offer a diesel
