Tata Avinya's lineup of electric vehicles will be built on the EMA platform developed by Jaguar Land Rover. The design of the Avinya marks a significant departure from previous models.

The most prominent change in the Avinya is its transition from a coupe-inspired design to a more crossover-focused appearance, a progression that Tata has been expected to undertake as part of the Avinya's development. Key characteristics of its profile include an elevated stance, large wheels, retractable door handles, and seamless headlamps and tail lamps. The rear design is particularly subtle, showcasing a cohesive tail lamp and sleek black bumpers.

Apart from the new steering wheel, Tata also filed a design patent of the Harrier EV. It is the next electric vehicle that the brand will be launching in the Indian market. The automaker currently holds around 70 per cent share in the Indian electric passenger vehicle market. With the Upcoming Harrier EV, the carmaker aims to further strengthen its grip on the segment
