The Sierra EV has already made multiple appearances through teasers and official videos released by the brand. Interest around the Sierra nameplate has been strong, with the ICE-powered version receiving over 70,000 bookings within the first 24 hours of its launch. Expectations are similarly high for the electric variant.

Tata Punch EV Facelift

Tata Punch EV is offered with two battery options - standard range and long range. The performance credentials of both also vary.

The Punch EV has proven to be one of Tata’s most successful electric offerings, thanks to its compact footprint and city-friendly nature. Built on a dedicated electric architecture, it has emerged as a practical choice for daily urban use.

In 2026, Tata is expected to introduce a facelifted version of the Punch EV. The updated model is likely to draw design inspiration from the Harrier EV, with revisions to the lighting elements, bumpers, and alloy wheels. Updates are also expected inside the cabin, including a new touchscreen infotainment system and the addition of more features.

Avinya

Tata Motors showcased the Avinya concept at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, presenting it as a futuristic and premium electric SUV. Given the strong demand for SUVs in India, it makes strategic sense for Tata to introduce Avinya as an EV from the outset.

Positioned as a premium offering, the Avinya will be sold through a separate retail network rather than existing Tata dealerships. The production-ready version of the Avinya is expected to be unveiled by the end of CY26.
