The Electrified Powertrain
The biggest update that differentiates the 2021 Tigor EV from the one that’s already doing rounds is the company’s Ziptron EV platform.

This makes the 2021 Tigor EV sprint from 0 to 60 in about 5.7 seconds.
Tata is also offering the Tigor EV with an IP67 rated 26kWH Li-Ion battery pack and electric motor. And with the new Ziptron tech on board, the Tigor can now undergo fast charging that can juice up the Tigor from 0 to 80% in just 60 minutes. Warranty wise, the Tigor EV delivers peace of mind for 8years/ 1,60,000 km that covers both battery and motor.
