Best Ev car in budget

Pros:- Best EV car in this budget Range and Build quality is awesome. Interior looks awesome like a premium. CAR range also good. Cons:- Very small car .not comfortable for more than 4 members.

Dream car; but high maintenance cost due to dealer's recommendations for change of spares

Exterior Excellent. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Engine, lower fuel economy will be offset by the performance. Ride Quality & Handling Excellent. Final Words Having bought this car when first launched in May 2010 and having driven for nearly 5 years, I am forced to sell of this car as the service provider took me for a ride by recommending change of spares (when they were not required to be replaced). When I lodged a complaint with the company on their toll free no., to my surpise, they forwarded the complaint to the same service station against whom I had complained! No company representative got actively involved inspite of repeated requests by call and mails. Go for this car only if you are ready to shell out a good amount for replacement of spares in the name of "wear & tear items" each time you go for service. In my case the spare replacement was not needed as I proved by driving a cool 9,000 km by not replacing spares which were recommended by the service advisor. It only proves the hunger of the service station to ensure higher billing - taking customers for a ride!! Areas of improvement NA.By far this is the most rugged car in this range; excellent driving experienceDealders take us for a ride while company looks on

Tata Tiago EV Road Test

By Sagar Bhanushali03 Apr 2023

We have put the new Tiago EV through our extensive road test regime and in the process, discovered its everyday attributes of all kinds, including its real-world range from 100 to zero per cent. So let’s see how it fared.

Volkswagen Polo facelift

By Selvin Jose21 Aug 2014

The Polo has been one of the most unfortunate victims of the Indian regulations because despite the build quality, great handling and contemporary European styling, the anorexic engines were a downer. It ended being an option in the premium hatchback segment instead of being an obvious choice. This is exactly what Volkswagen aims to change and has worked hard to iron out all the irregularities of the car with the facelifted Polo.
