The Tata Safari EV and Avinya EV promise long range, bold looks, and space for the whole family. Here’s what you need to know before you book one. **Key Highlights** - The Tata Safari EV is expected to launch in the festive season of 2026, likely between October and December. - Its price is expected to fall between Rs 22.5 lakh and Rs 32 lakh, ex-showroom. - It will offer two battery packs, 65 kWh and 75 kWh, with a claimed MIDC range of up to 627 km on the larger pack, per EV-Wala’s report. - The Tata Avinya EV price is estimated between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 60 lakh, ex-showroom. - Avinya rides on Tata’s new Gen 3 skateboard platform, built with technology shared from Jaguar Land Rover’s EMA architecture. ## Tata Safari EV: Price & Variant You can expect the Safari EV to start around Rs 22.5 lakh and go up to Rs 32 lakh, ex-showroom. Tata hasn’t confirmed the final variant list yet, but expect the usual pattern: a base trim, a mid variant with more tech, and a loaded top-end model with the bigger battery. If you already own a diesel Safari, think of the EV pricing as sitting one notch above your current model. The dual-motor AWD version, if Tata offers it at launch, will likely sit at the very top of the price ladder. Keep in mind these numbers are pre-launch estimates. [Tata](https://neudeals.co/new-cars/tata/) will lock in real prices closer to the on-road date. ## Tata Safari EV: Powertrain The Safari EV will use Tata’s acti.ev+ platform, the same base as the Harrier EV. You get two battery choices: a 65 kWh pack and a bigger 75 kWh pack. A MIDC range of 538 km on the smaller battery and 627 km on the larger one. Real-world range will likely land between 420 km and 520 km, depending on how you drive and your AC use. Some reports also point to an all-wheel-drive option with a dual-motor setup, one motor on each axle. That would give you better traction in rain or on rough roads, something families doing long highway runs will actually notice. ## Tata Safari EV: Exterior Design The Safari EV might also source the TiDAL (Tata Intelligent Digital Architecture Layer) electrical and electronic architecture from the Harrier EV. This platform supports the integration of several advanced technologies, including complex connected car features, a 540-degree camera, OTA (over-the-air) updates and ADAS functionalities. The cabin layout and features will be similar to the ICE-powered Safari, with the addition of a few EV-specific software features and updates. Tata Safari EV Interior ## Tata Safari EV: Interior & Features Inside, you can expect a 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with a 10.25-inch digital driver display. Dual-zone climate control and ventilated front and rear seats should carry over from the ICE model. Reports are mixed on the sunroof, so don’t count on it until Tata confirms. Safety looks strong on paper: up to 7 airbags, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control, and a Level 2 ADAS suite with lane assist and auto braking. For a family car, that’s the kind of safety net that actually matters on daily school runs and highway trips. ## Tata Avinya EV: Price & Variant The [Avinya EV](https://ev.tatamotors.com/concept-cars/avinya.html) sits in a different league. Expect a starting price above Rs 30 lakh, with the range stretching up to Rs 60 lakh. This isn’t a mass-market car. Tata is positioning Avinya as a standalone premium brand, sold through its own dealer network, separate from regular Tata showrooms. Variant details aren’t public yet, but expect the pricing gap between base and top trim to be wide, since battery size will likely drive most of the cost difference. ## Tata Avinya EV: Powertrain While the powertrain specifications are still under wraps, the Avinya is expected to offer battery pack options ranging between 65kWh – 80kWh. Reports suggest that the Tata Avinya will be built on the Freelander architecture, developed by the Chery-JLR joint venture. This platform supports an electrical architecture of up to 8000V and DC fast charging up to 350kW. ## Tata Avinya EV: Exterior Design The Avinya concept, first shown in 2022, turned heads with butterfly doors and cameras acting as side mirrors instead of regular ORVMs. It also featured a floating roofline, blacked-out B-pillars, large DRLs, and an LED light bar running the width of the tailgate. Production versions seldom keep every concept detail, so expect a toned-down version for the road. Still, the sportback silhouette and futuristic design language should carry through, giving Avinya a look that stands apart from every other Tata [electric car](https://neudeals.co/ev/) on the road today. Tata Avinya EV Interior ## Tata Avinya EV: Interior & Features Inside, Avinya aims for a clean, minimal cabin built around large display screens and a new EV-specific user interface. Tata has patented a new two-spoke steering wheel with touch-based controls for this model. Expect Gen 3 platform benefits like faster over-the-air software updates and continuous feature rollouts after purchase, similar to how your phone gets updates. This is Tata’s attempt to compete with premium rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 on tech, not just on price. ## Tata Safari EV vs Tata Avinya EV Feature Tata Safari EV Tata Avinya EV Expected Launch Festive season 2026 Late 2026 Expected Price Rs 22.5 Lakh – Rs 32 Lakh Rs 30 Lakh – Rs 60 Lakh Battery Options 65 kWh / 75 kWh 75 kWh / 90 kWh Claimed Range Up to 627 km (MIDC) Up to 500 km (claimed) Seating 7-seater Sportback, seating TBC Body Style SUV Sportback / crossover Market Position Family SUV Premium standalone brand ## What Makes the Tata Safari EV Worth the Wait? You get a proper 7-seater electric SUV, something almost no other brand offers in India right now. The Nexon EV, Creta Electric, and MG Windsor are all 5-seaters. If your family needs the extra row, the Safari EV fills a real gap in the market, and it does it at a price well under most premium rivals. ## Why Is the Tata Avinya EV So Expensive? The price reflects what’s under the skin. Avinya uses an all-new platform built from scratch for electric power, not an adapted one. That kind of engineering costs more. Add the JLR-linked technology, a separate retail network, and premium positioning, and the higher price starts to make sense. You’re paying for a new brand experience, not just a car. ## How to Book Your Tata EV Before Launch? - Watch Tata’s official website and Tata Motors app for booking announcements. - Visit your nearest Tata showroom and ask to be added to the interest list. - Keep a small refundable token amount ready once bookings open. - Avoid third-party sites asking for large advance payments before Tata confirms official bookings. ## Tips Before You Book an Upcoming Tata EV - Don’t pay a large booking amount based on rumored prices. Wait for Tata’s official price reveal. - Check your city’s EV charging network before you commit. A great car with no nearby charger is a headache. - Ask your dealer about state EV subsidies. States like Delhi, Gujarat, and Maharashtra offer extra savings. - Compare real-world range claims, not just the MIDC number, since your daily range will always be lower. - If you need the car soon, don’t wait on rumors. Look at what’s already on sale, like the Harrier EV or Nexon EV. ## Conclusion Tata is about to shake up two very different corners of the EV market. The Safari EV gives your family a spacious, 7-seat electric SUV without the premium price tag. The Avinya EV pushes Tata into fresh territory, competing with brands most people never expected an Indian carmaker to challenge. Both cars are still months away, and prices aren’t locked in yet. Your best move right now is simple: stay patient, watch for Tata’s official announcements, and don’t let rumored numbers rush your decision. A car this big for your family deserves a little wait. ## FAQs ### What is the expected launch date of Tata Avinya? Tata Avinya is expected to launch in India by the end of 2026.
