Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV

Citroen has just unveiled the all-electric eC3 in India, and as it's based on the C3 hatchback that is already on sale here, the eC3 will also be exported to international markets. With EVs on the rise, the hatchback segment is also seeing electric options come up in the form of the eC3 and its sole competitor, the Tiago EV.

While the Tiago EV starts at Rs 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India), with a four percent price hike expected, Citroen will announce the prices of the eC3 soon. We compare the two to see how they fare against each other on paper.

Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV: dimensions

Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV: Dimensions
Model Citroen eCe Tata Tiago EV
Length 3981mm 3769mm
Width 1733mm 1677mm
Height 1604mm 1536mm
Wheelbase 2540mm 2400mm
Weight 1316kg 1155kg
Boot space 315-litres 240-litres
Tyre size 195/65 R15 175/65 R14

Citroen’s eC3 is larger than the Tata Tiago EV in every measurable way. The French EV is 212mm longer, has a 140mm longer wheelbase, is 56mm wider and 68mm taller than the Tiago EV. The Citroen's boot is also 75 litres larger than Tata’s EV hatchback. While the eC3 gets 15-inch alloy wheels, the Tiago EV gets smaller 14-inch steel wheels. However, the Tiago EV is 161kg lighter than the eC3.

Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV: powertrain, range, performance

Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV: Powertrain, range, performance
Model Citroen eC3 Tata Tiago EV (medium range) Tata Tiago EV (long range)
Motor type Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Power 57hp 61hp 75hp
Torque 143Nm 110Nm 114Nm
Battery capacity 29.2kWh 19.2kWh 24kWh
Claimed range 320km 250km 315km
Claimed 0-60kph 6.8sec 6.2sec 5.7sec

While the eC3 only gets one powertrain option, the Tiago EV comes with two powertrain options that are classified as medium range and long range. Both use permanent magnet synchronous motors, but the former makes less power – 57hp – than the Tiago EV medium range's 61hp. The Tiago EV long range produces 75hp, making it the most powerful of the lot here.

Interestingly, the eC3 has the highest torque figure here, at 143Nm, which is 29Nm more than the Tiago EV long range's 114Nm. Despite making more torque, the eC3 has a 0.6 second slower claimed 0-60kph time than even the Tiago EV medium range – the Tiago EV does it in 6.2sec.

The eC3 has a fairly larger battery compared to the Tiago EV. Citroen has placed a 29.2kWh battery in the eC3 that has a claimed range of 320km as per the MIDC cycle. On the other hand, the 19.2kWh battery in the Tiago EV medium range manages 250km on a single charge, while the larger 24kWh battery in the long range version can do 315km on the MIDC cycle.

Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV: charging time

Citroen eC3 vs Tata Tiago EV: Charging time
Model Citroen eC3 Tata Tiago EV (medium range) Tata Tiago EV (long range)
10-80% (DC fast charging) 57 minutes 57 minutes 57 minutes
10-100% (15A wall charger) 10 hours 30 minutes 6 hours 54 minutes 8 hours 40 minutes

All three, despite varying battery sizes, can be charged from 10-80 percent in 57 minutes using a DC fast charger. However, the bigger battery in the Citroen eC3 takes the longest to charge when plugged in to a 15A wall socket, taking 10 hours and 30 minutes to charge from 10-100 percent.

The fastest to charge using a 15A wall socket is the Tiago EV medium range that takes only 6 hours and 54 minutes. The Tiago EV long range falls in between as it only takes 8 hours and 40 minutes to charge from 10 to 100 percent on the wall charger.

We have driven the new eC3 and you can read or watch our review on January 21 at 12pm.

Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler.
