    by

    Tata Nexon EV crash test – Bharat NCAP 2024Nexon EV is one of the landmark vehicles sold in India and is attributed to making EVs an attractive proposition rather than a drab solution. Nexon EV is also held in high regard where vehicular safety is concerned as it scored 5 Star ratings in Bharat NCAP testing. Now, the 5 Star crash safety rating is also extended to its 45 kWh battery variants. Let’s take a closer look.
    Tata Nexon EV 45kWh Scored 5 Star
    At the time when Indian automotive market was not all that familiar with the importance of crashworthiness, Tata Nexon broke the waters and emerged as the country’s first vehicle to score a 5 Star crash rating. Continuing the streak, the latest Nexon still has an impeccable 5 Star crash rating.

    Its electric counterpart, Nexon EV, has maintained its 5 Star crash safety rating too. However, these were reserved for the 30 kWh and 40.5 kWh battery pack versions. After the launch of Curvv EV, Tata Motors expanded Nexon EV portfolio to include 45 kWh version, which is now crash-tested by Bharat NCAP.
    Nexon EV 45 kWh version scored 29.86 / 32 points in adult occupant protection tests and 44.95 / 49 points in child occupant protection tests. Bharat NCAP tested Empowered+ LR variant which came equipped with 6 airbags, 3-point seatbelts and seatbelt reminders for all seats, ISOFIX child seat mounts, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), TPMS and 360-degree camera as standard.

Where child occupant protection is concerned, this vehicle garnered 23.95 / 24 points in dynamic score, 12 / 12 points in child restraint systems installation score and 9 / 13 points in vehicle assessment score.
    In the Indian automotive market, Tata Nexon EV directly rivals Mahindra XUV400, which is set to get a major update. Nexon EV continues to be powered by a 30 kWh battery pack and 45 kWh battery pack options. The 40.5 kWh battery pack variants have been discontinued after 45 kWh battery pack was launched.

    Nexon EV Analysis In May 2024 – 30kWh and 40kWh

    With Bharat NCAP assessing the crash safety performance of 45 kWh version of Nexon EV, all of the variants are now 5 star crash rated. This aligns with Tata’s vision of offering sound and safe vehicles to the masses with good crash ratings. More

      Electric Car Catches Fire While At Dealer For Service

      by

      Tata Nexon EV Catches FireIn an unfortunate and alarming incident, a Tata Nexon EV reportedly caught fire while it was parked at a service center following an accident. The car, which had been dropped off for repairs, was completely destroyed in the fire.
      What happened
      According to the owner, “I met with a small accident at night one day. I was driving back home and it was raining heavily, Some construction work was going on and there were no hazard warnings. There was a big pit filled with water right on the curb of the road. My vehicle fell into it. Being an EV it was not starting as expected and we dropped it off at the service centre the next day.”
      The service center attributed the fire to battery damage. However, complications soon arose. Although the service team initially verbally assured the owner of providing a replacement vehicle — reportedly a Tata Harrier — at a minimal cost, no formal action was taken. Despite the assurances, it has now been over eight months with no resolution.
      Adding to the owner’s woes, the vehicle was financed and he continues to pay EMIs for a burnt vehicle. To make matters worse, United India Insurance, the insurer, has reportedly declined to clear the IDV (Insured Declared Value) claim, allegedly offering compensation only for the battery pack instead of the full vehicle value. The owner of the car has shared details in the video below by Baiju N Nair.
      [embedded content]
      “First two months they were very cooperative and supportive ( verbally offered me any car from the brand for just a very minimal cost) but now they are not keeping their word and not helping me claim my insurance as well. Also they are not giving evidence or any report of the incident,” added the owner.
      Waiting for resolution
      The frustrated owner also shared his experience on Reddit, underlining the lack of cooperation from the dealer and insurer. Community members advised him to escalate the issue by filing a police FIR, reaching out to consumer forums, and using social media to highlight the incident.
      This case raises concerns over post-accident handling of EVs, insurance claim processes, and customer service accountability when vehicles are damaged under dealer custody. It also brings into focus the potential risks associated with electric vehicles exposed to floodwater and subsequent maintenance processes. More

      Tata Avinya Steering Wheel Patented – Will Not Get Digital Logo Like Nexon, Harrier

      by

      Tata Avinya Electric Car Steering WheelCompared to the existing steering wheel seen with Tata cars, the one for Avinya has a more premium and polished appearance
      As electrification gains momentum, Tata Motors will be introducing multiple new EVs in the coming years. At the 2025 Bharat Expo, the company had showcased three of its upcoming EVs – Harrier EV, Sierra EV and the Avinya Concept. Tata has now patented the steering wheel to be used with the Avinya EV.
      Tata Avinya steering wheel patented
      For several of its cars like Nexon EV, Curvv EV, Harrier and Safari, Tata already utilizes a striking design for the steering wheel. It has the illuminated Tata logo in the centre. The one to be used with the Avinya has a familiar two-spoke design, but there are several distinctive features. For example, the centre of the steering wheel gets ‘Avinya’ badging instead of the Tata logo. Avinya will be among the most premium range electric cars from Tata Motors. As such, it must emphasize its own brand identity.
      Tata Avinya Electric Car Steering Wheel
      While existing Tata cars have the steering wheel centre pad in glossy black finish, Avinya utilizes a leather-wrapped centre pad. The various corners and surfaces have a smooth, polished appearance, which further enhances the overall look and feel. Avinya’s steering wheel has various touch-based controls for seamless access to the car’s functions. On the left side, users will be able to access controls for the calls and music. And on the right, the steering wheel will have dedicated tabs for the ADAS and cruise control. The steering wheel is expected to be offered in a dual-tone finish.
      With the two-spoke design of the steering wheel, Avinya users can get a clear view of the instrument screen. This improves overall convenience as well as safety. Earlier, images of the Avinya Concept had also revealed a stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to control gear shifts. The new steering wheel has minimalistic and futuristic vibes, which complements the overall aesthetics of Avinya’s cabin space.
      Tata Avinya Electric Car Steering Wheel
      Tata Avinya – Key features
      Based on concept images, Avinya stands out as one of the most captivating Tata cars to date. Some of the key features include T-shaped full-width LED strips at front and rear, a closed-off grille and sleek LED headlamps and DRLs. Side profile has flush door handles, blacked-out pillars, door side moulding and sporty alloy wheels with aerodynamic design. At the rear, Avinya has a tapering roofline, a sharp fin antenna and a heavily raked windshield.
      Tata Avinya X Concept
      Inside, the dashboard has the T-shaped full-width lighting bar and horizontally placed AC vents. All controls appear touch-based, which ensures a clutter-free profile. There’s a large freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, likely to be more than 12 inches. Avinya has ambient lighting, comfy seats and a comprehensive range of premium features.
      While Tata has not revealed any specifications about the Avinya, it is likely to have a range of more than 500 km. Both RWD and AWD variants could be on offer. Tata Avinya is expected to be launched in 2026. More

      Tata Yu Autonomous Self Driving Vehicle Patented

      by

      Tata YuAn autonomous, self-driving vehicle, Tata Yu can transport both goods and people to their respective destinations
      With electrification and technology advancements, the future of mobility will be quite different from what we see today. Providing a glimpse of things to come is this new Tata Yu cargo van that fulfils the last mile connectivity needs of both goods and people. As Tata Yu can be a gamechanger, Tata has filed a patent for the same. Let’s take a look at the details of Tata Yu and try to understand its potential.
      Tata Yu project details
      Primary architects of the Tata Yu concept are Ansuman Mallik and Atmaj Verma. The 6-month project was taken up at the Strate School of Design, Bangalore and was sponsored by Tata Motors. Folks providing the required guidance and mentorship included Ajay Jain (TATA Motors), Edmund Spitz ( HOD of the Transportation Design, Strate School of Design, Bangalore) and Thomas Dal (Dean, Strate School of Design Bangalore).
      Tata Yu design patented
      Ansuman Mallik and Atmaj Verma came up with the idea for Tata Yu when they noticed that goods and people often take the same routes. And yet, the current transportation system has different vehicles for cargo and people. As cargo and people were often moving in the same direction and destinations, the creators started thinking about a vehicle that can carry both cargo and passengers. The search eventually led to the creation of the Tata Yu concept.
      Tata Yu – How it works?
      In the middle section, Tata Yu has plenty of space for storing e-commerce parcels. And at the rear, the van has space for passengers. The e-commerce parcels are stored in the middle section in boxes of various sizes. The van collects these directly from the warehouse and delivers it to the desired location. It has the capability to automatically sort these boxes, as per the delivery destination.
      Tata Yu
      The delivery is done in two ways. At places where a dedicated automated transfer system is available, the e-commerce parcels are directly deposited in that system. In this project, this automated transfer system is referred to as the ‘bridge’. In the future, such systems can come up at various offices and housing complexes.
      [embedded content]
      Another way to deliver the parcels is via the delivery executive. Similar to food delivery apps, gig workers can get details about the package to be delivered. They can accept the offer and pick up the parcel from the van at the designated stop. They can then deliver the parcel to the destination and earn their commission.
      Talking about moving passengers, the process is the same as seen with taxi operators like Uber. Passengers can enter their destination on the app. If any van is going in the same direction, they can hop on and reach their destination. Payment will be made via the app. Tata Yu can accommodate two passengers.
      Tata Yu specs
      In its concept form, Tata Yu is 3,700 mm long, 1,500 mm wide and 1,800 mm tall. The vehicle will be powered by hub-mounted motors. More details such as battery capacity and range are not available right now. The vehicle will take several years to reach production stage. The creators are looking at a timeline of 2030 and beyond for the Tata Yu project to become commercially available. More

      Tata Harrier EV Patented – Design Details Revealed Before Launch

      by

      Tata Harrier EV Patented
      Expected to be launched later this year, Tata Harrier EV will primarily challenge Mahindra XEV 9e and BYD Atto 3
      A few days back, Tata Motors had showcased the Harrier EV at its Pune plant. And now, a patent has been filed for Harrier EV. Let’s take a look at some of the key features and design elements.
      Tata Harrier EV – What the patent reveals?
      Similar to the approach followed with other ICE / EV combos from Tata Motors, the Harrier EV has largely the same look and feel as the ICE model. The lighting elements across the front and rear are the same as that of the ICE Harrier. However, the Harrier EV does get some distinctive features. For example, there’s a closed-off grille with horizontal trims and a lower bumper with vertical and diagonal slats. A similar design for the lower bumper can be seen with the Curvv EV as well.
      Tata Harrier EV Patented
      Side profile of Harrier EV has conventional door handles, dual-tone ORVMs with integrated turn signals, blacked-out pillars and body cladding. Running boards are expected to be available as an accessory. What makes the side profile distinctive in comparison to the ICE model is a new aerodynamic design for the alloy wheels. The dual-tone finish with sharp cuts and grooves on the wheels truly enhance the SUVs powerful road presence. One can also see exclusive ‘ev’ badging on the front doors. The ICE model has the ‘Harrier’ badging on the front doors.
      Rear profile is also mostly the same as the ICE Harrier. Some of the key highlights include a shark fin antenna, a roof mounted spoiler, raked windshield, wraparound tail lamps in connected format and a chunky bumper.
      Tata Harrier EV
      Harrier EV interiors
      Inside, the vibes of Harrier EV are quite similar to that of the ICE model. Shared parts include the 12.3-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch TFT instrument cluster and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Similarities also extend across the centre console, gear selector, rotary dial for the terrain modes and the 4-spoke steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo. Harrier EV also has an electronic parking brake, dual-zone climate control and dual-pane sunroof.
      Tata Harrier EV
      Harrier EV – Exclusive features, performance, range
      With the electric Harrier, vibrations and noise levels inside the cabin will be less. Users can also expect a smoother experience, as Harrier EV will utilize a multi-link suspension. In comparison, the ICE Harrier has a torsion beam rear suspension. A multi-link suspension has better capabilities to absorb imperfections on the roads. Safety aspects such as traction and cornering stability will also be enhanced with a multi-link suspension setup.
      Tata is yet to reveal the detailed specifications of the Harrier EV. In an earlier statement, Tata had said that the Harrier EV will have a range of more than 500 km. The SUV will be available with dual motors in AWD format. Peak torque output will be around 500 Nm. Tata Harrier EV could be launched at a starting price of around Rs 25 lakh. More

      Tata Harrier EV Interiors Revealed Ahead Of Launch – What All Is New?

      by

      Tata Harrier EV Interiors RevealedAhead of its official launch, Tata Motors recently showcased Harrier EV at their Pune manufacturing facility. There were a couple of stunts demonstrated as well, performed by trained personnel. In that teaser video, Tata has also showcased bits and pieces of Harrier EV’s interiors, lending us an idea of what to expect from their upcoming flagship electric SUV.
      Tata Harrier EV Interiors Revealed
      In their latest teaser, Tata Motors revealed production spec version of Harrier EV to the world after its global premier at Auto Expo 2025. At their Pune facility, the company even demonstrated Harrier EV’s agility and performance in a slew of co-ordinated stunts. When launched, Tata Harrier EV will rival Mahindra’s XEV 9e.
      Tata Harrier EV Interiors
      For the first time, we can see a glimpse of Tata Harrier EV production version’s interiors as seen in their latest teaser. For starters, we would say that Harrier EV stays very close to, if not, identical to Harrier ICE’s interiors. That’s because Harrier EV borrows almost every single element we have seen with Harrier ICE.
      It gets the same 12.3-inch free-standing infotainment screen which is capable of wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with the same 10.25-inch TFT instrument cluster which boasts advanced functions including full-screen map view. Along with these, Harrier EV also gets the same centre console as Harrier ICE.
      Tata Harrier EV Interiors
      We can see the same stylish and chunky gear selector and a rotary dial to control the new and improved Terrain Modes. Steering wheel is also the same 4-spoke unit with an illuminated Tata logo and steering mounted controls. Touch and toggle type panel for dual-zone climate control, electronic parking brake and dual pane sunroof are also the same.
      What are the changes?
      Where we can expect changes are in EV specific graphics running on Harrier EV’s infotainment and instrument screens. Harrier EV’s cabin will be much quieter owing to its electric powertrain and occupants inside Harrier EV will be more comfortable as it gets independent suspension at the rear, which Harrier ICE miss out on.
      Tata Harrier EV Interiors
      Exterior design stays more or less the same as Harrier ICE, a strategy which Tata has used on all of its EVs. Powertrain-wise, there are no definitive numbers disclosed by the company. However, the company has promised a range of 500+ km on a single charge and 500 Nm of peak torque from Harrier EV dual motor AWD version. More
