Tata Motors is a manufacturer that dabbled in the EV space before many others. Tata’s strategy of converting its ICE cars into electric gave the brand a big initial push. This move has lead to Tata capturing 95% of the EV market in Q1 2022. Tata recently unveiled its Curvv electric SUV concept that will take a production-ready avatar by 2024. Tata yesterday revealed another new concept called Avinya which will take shape by 2025. The Curvv is based on Tata’s Gen-2 architecture whereas the Avinya is based on Gen-3 architecture. We have written a detailed article on Avinya for you to read. Check it out by clicking on the link below. However, coming to today’s topic, the next new EV from Tata is expected to be the Altroz EV. We believe Tata is working on it and is planning a launch in the coming months. The Altroz EV once launched will become the first car to achieve an important milestone. In today’s article, we will find out what the milestone is and other details about the 2022 Tata Altroz EV.
What is this important milestone?
Tata Altroz entered the market as a premium hatchback to compete with rivals like Maruti Baleno, Hyundai i20, etc. Once Tata launches the Altroz EV, it will become the first premium electric hatchback here. Other carmakers have not shown any concepts that reflect their plans of launching electric premium hatchbacks anytime soon. Tata will get to enjoy a monopoly in this segment. However, the bigger feat here would be that it will be the first electric hatchback. Maruti was expected to take the lead in this department but the brand instead moved its focus on an electric mid-size SUV.
2022 Tata Altroz EV – Design
The Altroz EV will be similar to the ICE-powered Altroz. Tata will give it some subtle design changes to differentiate it from the ICE Altroz. It will get an EV badging and blue highlights on the bumper. The EV will get a Signature Teal Blue colour like other Tata EVs. The interior is also expected to see minor changes in terms of seating & upholstery. Tata might offer a white upholstery similar to the Nexon EV on the Altroz EV.
Specifications
Like the Tigor EV and the Nexon EV, the Altroz EV will come with Tata’s Ziptron technology. As with all EVs, it will get an automatic rotary-style gearbox. It is expected to come with a 26kWh lithium-ion unit battery pack with IP67 water and dust proof. This battery is expected to give it a real-world range of around 180-200km range. Tata will also give it fast charging capabilities. It will also offer an eight-year battery warranty.
2022 Tata Altroz EV – Features
The Altroz EV will come loaded with feature such as a floating infotainment unit, an eight-speaker sound system, keyless entry, automatic climate control, alloy wheels and iRA connected car technology.
