Tata Tiago.ev Updated with New Features, Gets Auto-Dimming IRVM, New Gear Selector Knob and More

Tata Motors, the leading Indian automaker, has silently updated the feature set of its popular hatchback, the Tiago.ev. The changes come in the form of the brand's fresh 2D logo in place of the previous 3D one, a new gear selector knob, and an updated key fob along with a few more amenities. Going into further details, auto-dimming IRVM is now standard on the XZ+ Tech LR, so the driver doesn't need to switch the IRVM on and off during the day. All variants, starting with the XZ+, will now include a pollen filter and a 45 W front USB type C charger to rapidly charge mobile devices. Moreover, the manufacturer has also removed the black roof from all Tiago.ev variants. Aside from these updates, everything else remains the same. Most importantly, the price of the Tata model has not been hiked. It continues to retail for between Rs 7.99 lakh and Rs 11.89 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom.
