Tata Avinya X - An electric car that wants to change how India thinks about luxury driving
Introduction
Luxury electric cars are slowly catching on in India—sales went up by 66% in early 2025. But they still make up only a small part of the market. Tata’s new Avinya X concept is its big idea for what a high-end, Indian-made electric car could be in just a few years.
So, what exactly is the Avinya X?
Tata Motors showed off the Avinya X earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Expo. It’s a fancy-looking electric SUV with a sleek shape, big wheels, hidden door handles, and glowing lights shaped like a “T” in the front and back. Inside, the car looks like a modern lounge—with comfy seats, soft lights, hidden air vents, and even a scent diffuser. Tata says the car will run up to 500 km on a single charge and recharge very fast.
The Avinya brand is Tata’s new luxury electric line, and the X will be its first big release—though the actual car won’t be on the roads until 2027. The delays are due to parts and technology being shared with Jaguar Land Rover (which Tata also owns). Tata hasn’t said exactly how much it’ll cost, but early guesses say it could be around ₹45 lakh. That’s about double the price of Tata’s current EVs like the Nexon. A company exec said, “Radical styling will debut with Avinya, but the Harrier EV is an evolutionary step.” In other words, Avinya is where Tata wants to try bold, new designs.
Why it’s different from other Tata cars
The Avinya X isn’t just a fancier version of a regular Tata SUV—it’s built on an all-new electric platform. That means the bottom of the car is flat, allowing more space inside and a smoother, more modern shape. The outside is designed to be sleek and aerodynamic, which helps the car go farther on a charge. Tata is using some of Jaguar Land Rover’s tech for things like batteries and motors, but the delays in getting that tech built in India have slowed things down.
Inside, Tata is focusing on comfort and a calm driving experience. You won’t find a giant screen or a complicated dashboard. Instead, the materials are soft and recycled, the lighting is subtle, and the seats are made to swivel and relax. It’s more about how the car feels than just adding more buttons and screens. This design approach puts Avinya in a different class than Tata’s other EVs.
Who is this car really for?
Tata clearly wants the Avinya X to appeal to buyers who are thinking about a Tesla or a BMW EV—but might want something that feels more personal or better suited for Indian roads. The luxury EV market in India is still small, but it’s growing steadily. If priced right, Avinya X could land between Tata’s Harrier EV and imported models like the Tesla Model Y.
Because Tata builds cars in India and works closely with Jaguar Land Rover, it can probably keep costs lower than many of its competitors. And it already has a strong EV lineup with the Nexon and Tiago. Avinya is part of Tata’s bigger plan to release seven new EVs by 2030, including the Sierra EV. That said, pulling off a premium EV isn’t easy—especially when customers expect flawless quality and good service at this price point.
What this means for India’s car future
The Avinya X shows that Tata wants to do more than just make affordable electric cars. It’s aiming to be a serious player in the luxury space—by building stylish, high-tech EVs that still feel Indian. This shift could change how local buyers think about EVs: not just as practical options, but as aspirational ones.
Of course, building a beautiful concept car is one thing. Turning it into a high-quality product that delivers on range, comfort, and support is the real test. If Tata gets it right, the Avinya X could become a standout in India’s premium EV scene—and maybe even grab attention in global markets.
Want to stay in the loop?
Tata’s not selling the Avinya X just yet, but more updates will come over the next year. Keep an eye out for test drive reviews, feature reveals, and the final version in 2027. This one might be worth waiting for.
