Tata Avinya:
Tata Motors is gearing up to enter the premium EV segment with the launch of its new sub-brand of Avinya EVs towards the latter half of 2026. While the Indian manufacturer has already showcased two concepts, a high-riding Avinya X electric SUV and a four-door coupe, it is expected to launch a five-door sportback version as the first model from the brand. While the exact details of this new EV are yet to be released, it is confirmed that it will be built on Tata’s new lightweight Gen 3 EV architecture, a dedicated skateboard platform that will support rapid charging speeds, a flat floor design, and long single-charge range driving.
