Tata is providing customers the choice of a faster home wall box charger from this trim onwards

Tata Tiago EV

From the second-to-top XZ+ trim of the Tiago EV, Tata is offering the option to choose between two chargers: a 3.3kW AC or a faster 7.2kW AC. The premium for the XZ+ trim over the XT is still under a lakh, but it gains a few comfort and convenience features.

Should you go for this trim? Let’s find out:

Variant	24kWh (3.3kW AC)	24kWh (7.2kW AC)
XZ+	Rs 10.79 lakh	Rs 11.29 lakh
XZ+ Tech Lux	Rs 11.29 lakh	Rs 11.79 lakh
Difference	Rs 50,000

Why Consider The Tiago EV XZ+?

For a premium of less than a lakh over the previous variant, the XZ+ amplifies the luxury quotient with the presence of goodies like cruise control, auto projector headlights, a reversing camera, rain sensing wipers and four tweeters making a total 8-speaker system as well as a height adjustable driver’s seat. It does not look like a stripped out variant as aesthetics are also improved with the presence of DRLs, wheel covers, LED turn indicators on the ORVMs, chrome on the inside amongst others. If you want a fast charger option with the Tiago EV, the XZ+ is the entry-level variant for the same.

Why Skip The Tiago EV XZ+?

Even though the XZ+ is a well-equipped trim, you can skip it for the top trim that offers a more premium experience. This is supported by the induction of leatherette upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button start/stop, electric tailgate release, and the option of a black roof.

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
