Tata Avinya
Certainly one of the most exciting concept cars that broke cover this year. Tata Avinya concept previewed an all-electric MPV with exuberant styling and premium features. The EV concept is claimed to come as a giant stride towards the next generation of Tata electric vehicles. Based on Gen 3 architecture, this EV has received its name from the Sanskrit language, where the word Avinya stands for innovation. Tata Motors claims that this EV concept focuses on spaciousness inside the cabin and comfort for the occupants, an advanced range of technologies driven by new-age software and artificial intelligence. The Tata Avinya is slated to enter production in 2025.
Tata Curvv
Tata Curvv is another sporty and exciting electric concept car that broke cover earlier in 2022. The car comes with a dynamic and modern SYV typology that combines the sportiness of an SUV and the elegance of a coupe. Tata Motors claims this EV concept carries a perfect balance between elegance, performance and practicality. It features a muscular and strong front and rear profile and slim LED lights at the front and rear. The coupe-like roofline adds premiumness to the SUV, while the flared fenders, wheel arch cladding and lower sill, and raised ride height, give it a sense of toughness and durability. It gets a high-gloss black finish adding a premium touch.
