Expect it to get two battery options, and about 500 km range, while there would be an all-wheel drive (AWD) option as well.

Expect it to receive minor cosmetic updates like new exterior and interior colour choices. There would be a few design tweaks on the front, while inside the cabin, it would sport and updated touchscreen infotainment system with thinner bezels, and an updated audio setup. Expect it to come with minor enhancements on the powertrain for an improved range.

Tata Avinya

Since it was first showcased in the concept guise, the Tata Avinya premium electric coupe SUV is one of the most awaited EVs from the brand. Tata showcased the Avinya X at Auto Expo 2025, highlighting its coupe SUV design and futuristic styling. The production version is expected to closely follow the concept.
