The Tigor EV also gets blue highlights inside the headlamps and on the 15-inch alloy wheels, which also feature a new design. It additionally gets projector headlamps along with revised fog lamp housing with LED DRLs integrated on the front bumper.The interior design looks very similar to the standard Tigor. However, to differentiate the Tigor EV from its ICE-based sibling, it carries over the blue accents on the inside as well.

The Tigor EV has got an IP67-rated battery pack and motor and comes with an 8-year and 1,60,000 km battery and motor warranty. The Tata Tigor EV is likely to undercut the Nexon EV’s INR 13.99-16.85 lakh price range and could cost about INR 1.5-2 lakh more than the ICE-powered Tigor, which currently tops out at INR 7.81 lakh in India.
