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

    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

    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

    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?

    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

    Tata Harrier EV Showcased At Pune Plant – Stunt Show Thrills Spectators

    Tata Harrier EVExpected to be launched at around Rs 25 lakh, Tata Harrier EV will rival the likes of Mahindra XEV 9e and BYD Atto 3
    To boost its dominance in the EV segment, Tata Motors will introduce multiple new EVs. One that holds significant potential is the Harrier EV. Ahead of its launch, Tata Motors recently showcased Harrier EV at their Pune plant, where the SUV was also seen performing some stunts. Along with that, new details are also out.
    Robust multi-link suspension
    Harrier ICE model has a torsion beam rear suspension. In comparison, Harrier EV is equipped with a multi-link suspension. This suspension setup improves overall experience, as it can absorb road imperfections in a better way. So, users can expect smoother rides with the Harrier EV. Safety aspects such as cornering stability and traction are also improved with a multi-link suspension. This is made possible with the independent movement for each wheel.
    Tata Harrier EV
    With the multi-link suspension, Harrier EV will be better at handling off-road tracks. Sudden lane changes during emergency situations will become a lot safer with the multi-link suspension. Vibrations will be reduced, something that will be especially beneficial for rear passengers.
    More refined, polished exteriors
    To complement its electric heart, Tata has adopted a more sophisticated design approach for the Harrier EV. This is especially true for the front fascia. Harrier EV gets a closed-off front grille with horizontal design elements. Most striking update is the vertical slats on the lower bumper. This treatment is similar to that of Curvv EV. Apart from these updates, most of the other features are largely the same as the ICE model. Tata also has to focus on costs, which is where sharing parts becomes a priority.
    Tata Harrier EV
    Side profile is largely the same as the ICE model. There are a few exceptions such as the new aerodynamic design of the alloy wheels. Harrier EV could get 19-inch wheels for the top variants. Another distinctive feature is the 3D ‘EV’ badging on the front door. In comparison, the ICE model has a ‘Harrier’ 3D emblem. At the rear, most of the features of Harrier EV are the same as that of the ICE model.

    AWD, 500 km range
    Harrier EV is based on the Acti.ev platform. At the 2025 Bharat Expo, Tata Motors had confirmed that Harrier EV will have all-wheel drive capability. Certified range will be more than 500 km. The Acti.ev platform can support vehicles with a range of 300 km to 600 km. It can accommodate various drivetrain options such as AWD, RWD and FWD. Other key highlights include reinforced body structure, 5G support, ADAS L2+ capabilities, Vehicle to Load (V2L) and Vehicle to Vehicle Charging (V2V) tech. Harrier EV is expected to get most of the features possible with the Acti.ev platform.
    Loaded with features
    Harrier EV will be equipped with a comprehensive range of premium features. It will have a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, dual-zone climate control and connected car tech. Other highlights include ventilated and powered front seats, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof and premium JBL sound system with 10-speakers. Harrier EV also gets the ‘Summon Mode’ on the key fob, allowing users to move the vehicle forward and backward.

    This White and Black roof dual tone option is likely to be the safest and most preferred one by Indian buyers. As seen in these spy shots, Harrier EV looks almost production ready and without any camouflage. Although, interiors were still camouflaged, while revealing a free-standing infotainment screen which may be the same 12.3-inch unit as Harrier.
    Exterior design reveals a closed-off grill along with a redesigned front bumper. Closed-off grill at the top has horizontal slats, while lower grill has vertical slats. Below it, we have a faux skid plate finished in a contrasting silver shade. LED DRLs on top and vertically-oriented headlight elements are carried over from Harrier ICE.
    Tata Harrier EV
    Also carried over is the side profile in its entirety. ORVMs, side silhouette, doors, body claddings, wheel arch claddings, roof rails and other elements are carried over. ORVMs get cameras and left front door gets a request sensor. The plastic claddings are likely to be painted in Gloss Black shade, like on Curvv.
    What to expect?
    Alloy wheel design is unique and is rather appealing. Wheel size could be 19-inches and we can expect 245-section tyres. Rear design is more or less the same as Harrier EV with a shark fin antenna, silver faux skid plate in rear bumper and LED tail lights.
    Production-spec Tata Harrier EV
    Where features are concerned, Tata Harrier EV will get features and equipment similar to that of its ICE counterpart. So, ventilated front and rear seats, electrically adjustable front seats with memory function for driver, 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, premium upholstery, 10-inch instrument cluster, Level-2 ADAS, 360-degree camera, 7 airbags, blindspot assist cameras and more.
    Where powertrains are concerned, Harrier EV will boast a large battery that should promise around 500 km of real world range and a lot of performance. Tata has announced that dual motor AWD variants will pack as much as 500 Nm. It will support fast charging as well and is a direct competitor to Mahindra’s just launched XEV 9e. More
