Tata Tiago NRG vs Mahindra e2o [2014-2016]

Tata Motors believes there is still a market for beefy-looking hatchbacks, so they have returned with the Tiago NRG. The Tiago hatchback received a major facelift last year, Tata has also decided to give the same treatment to the NRG. So what's new? We find out.

Mahindra launched the e2o in 2013 and projected it as the ultimate city commuter that not only saves fossil fuels but is also cheaper to run and saves the environment by being a non-polluting vehicle. However with a price of Rs. 5.96 lakh, it was too less a car with too big a price. Practicality was an issue too with limited range and just a 2 door version available which meant ingress and egress was a pain.

It was a nice feeling sitting in middle of a traffic jam, knowing that your car has not contributed even an ounce of smoke to all the pollution around. Every one of us has hopes for a cleaner environment, but contributes only so much towards it. We have our reasons – lack of practical options is one of them, so while we sit in our AC car cabins and crib about the issue, Mahindra had made yet another attempt at building a more practical electric car, in form of the e2o T2. We test drove the car at length to find out if the new Reva e2o T2 has all that it takes to cut pollution without compromising on our comforts.
