Inside, the 2025 Tiago EV offers more substantial improvements, starting with upgraded materials throughout the cabin. The dashboard layout remains familiar but now features soft-touch materials on upper surfaces and a new texture pattern that creates a more premium feel. The center console has been redesigned to accommodate a new electronic gear selector and drive mode dial, replacing the rotary unit of the outgoing model.
The most visible upgrade is the new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (up from 7-inch) that dominates the center dashboard, offering sharper graphics and improved responsiveness. This is complemented by a 7-inch digital instrument cluster that replaces the previous part-digital setup, providing more comprehensive information specifically tailored for electric vehicle operation.
Seating comfort has been enhanced with new contours and improved cushioning, while the upholstery features recycled materials with blue contrast stitching that reinforces the eco-friendly theme. The rear bench maintains its practical 60:40 split-folding functionality, while boot space remains unchanged at 240 liters—modest but practical for a vehicle in this segment.
Practical touches include multiple USB ports (including Type-C), a cooled glovebox, and thoughtfully positioned storage compartments throughout the cabin. Ambient lighting has been added across the dashboard with customizable blue and green options, adding a touch of sophistication to nighttime driving.
Powertrain: Improved Range and Charging
The 2025 Tiago EV offers two battery options, both receiving capacity and efficiency improvements. The standard model now features a 21.5 kWh lithium-ion battery (up from 19.2 kWh), while the extended range variant gets a larger 25.5 kWh unit (increased from 24 kWh).
