The Tata Tiago EV’s second-from-base XT trim commands a premium of more than half a lakh over the base-spec XE. For the extra dough, it does get a few feature additions and also the larger battery pack option. Let’s see if you should consider it:

Variant	19.2kWh	24kWh (3.3kW AC)	24kWh (7.2kW AC)
XT	Rs 9.09 lakh	Rs 9.99 lakh	–
XZ+	–	Rs 10.79 lakh	Rs 11.29 lakh
Difference	–	Rs 80,000	–

Why Consider The Tiago EV XT?

It is the entry-level variant for those looking to buy the Tiago EV with the larger 24kWh battery pack and the top trim with the 19.2kWh battery pack. Even though it is the entry-level trim with the larger battery pack, it isn’t a bare-bones offering as it comes with a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto-dimming IRVM, and even power windows. Also, if your usage involves a lot of travel, we recommend you consider this trim with the larger battery pack option for the extra range on offer.

Here’s what all is on offer:

	Exterior	Interior	Comfort and convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Highlight features	Body-coloured door handles ORVMs with turn indicators Full wheel covers	Fabric upholstery Digitised instrument cluster Auto-dimming IRVM	Power windows Electrically adjustable ORVMs with auto-fold	7-inch touchscreen Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Four speakers	TPMS

Why Skip The Tiago EV XT?

The Tiago EV XT does pack a lot more equipment over its preceding base trim. However, it still misses out on a few essential features including height adjustable driver’s seat, rear washer-wiper, and a reversing camera, all of which you expect to see at this price point. While it is an attractive entry-level EV option with the larger battery, consider a higher trim Tiago EV for increased practicality.

Variant	Verdict
XE	Consider it for a runabout EV on a tight budget
XT	Recommended with the larger battery pack as an affordable entry-level EV
XZ+	Consider it as a practical EV alternative with a decent set of features
XZ+ Tech Lux	Go for the top-spec variant only if you want a slightly premium experience
