Tata Motors is preparing to defend its crown in the entry level electric vehicle segment. Recent spy shots of the 2026 Tata Tiago EV facelift have surfaced, revealing significant upgrades that could make it the most feature loaded hatchback in its class.
With the competition heating up from the MG Comet EV and Citroen eC3, the updated Tiago.ev (2026) aims to bring "premium" to the masses. Here is everything we know about the upcoming electric car.
Exterior: Sharper Design and Segment-First Sunroof
The latest test mules, spotted under heavy camouflage, hint at a major design overhaul inspired by the new Punch.ev and Nexon.ev.
-
New Fascia: Expect a slimmer, closed off grille and a more sculpted front bumper.
-
LED Lighting: The 2026 model will likely feature sharper headlamp clusters with top mounted LED DRLs and projector elements.
-
The "Sunroof" Factor: A noticeable hump on the roof of the test car suggests Tata will introduce a factory fitted electric sunroof, a feature currently missing from its direct rivals.
-
Aero-Efficient Wheels: The car appears to be testing with new 5 spoke alloy wheels or aero styled wheel covers designed to reduce drag and improve efficiency.
Interior & Tech: A Digital Revolution
Inside, the 2026 Tiago EV is set to receive a tech heavy cabin that punches above its weight.

The inclusion of bulkier ORVMs strongly suggests the addition of a 360 degree camera system, which would be a massive USP (Unique Selling Point) for city parking.
Performance: Will it get the Punch.ev's Battery?
While the current 19.2kWh (Medium Range) and 24kWh (Long Range) packs are reliable, rumors suggest Tata might switch to more energy dense prismatic cells.
There is also speculation that the 30kWh battery from the Punch.ev could find its way into the top spec Tiago EV, potentially pushing the real world range beyond 260 km on a single charge.
Launch Date and Expected Price in India
The 2026 Tata Tiago EV facelift is expected to debut in the second half of 2026. Given the extensive feature list, expect a price hike of ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 over the current pricing, which ranges from ₹7.99 lakh to ₹11.49 lakh (ex showroom).
