Tata Showcase its second EV concept for 2022 in the form of the Avinya. Tata Avinya is the first look at a dedicated EV from Tata base on its Gen3 platform which has develop from the ground up with no accommodation for combustion engine variants.
The EV-specific platform allows Tata to maximize the space between the axles for a spacious cabin.
At 4.3 metres long, the Avinya is around the same length as the Creta and shorter than a Vento.
But the expansive wheelbase with the extremely short overhangs allow the concept to offer a lot more interior space.
The Gen3 platform underpinning the Tata Avinya will be capable of spawning EVs with a minimum range of 500km.
It is scalable too allowing Tata to base models of various shapes and sizes, catering to various markets.
These models will also be compatible with the leading edge of fast charging technology, connect car technology and advance driver assistance systems (ADAS).
This is what comes after the production-spec Concept Tata Curvv that debut Tata’s Gen2 platform.
Exterior Design of Tata Avinya
The exterior design of the Avinya makes it hard to categorise as its proportions cover various segments such as the wide sporty stance, the low and sleek roofline and enough ground clearance to match an urban SUV.
The LED light strips front and rear that span nearly the entire width of the model, converging in the middle to form a “T” symbol representative of Tata’s logo, are the dominant highlights from the design of the Avinya concept.
The taillamps extend away from the spine of the Tata Avinya, acting like a rear spoiler for improved aerodynamics.
Like other EV concepts, the Tata Avinya also comes with suicide doors and no B-pillar to which makes the cabin feel relax and welcoming.
Tata Avinya driver’s seat is also shown to have a swivel function for easier access while the rear passengers get a sofa-like bench seat.
Inside Design of Tata Avinya
Tata’s direction for a tech-laden cabin bucks the current trend by opting for a minimalistic design for the Tata Avinya.
Tata Avinya does not have an endless row of touchscreens and displays, instead focussing on voice-base interactions between passenger and vehicle features.
The most notable screen inside the Tata Avinya concept is the digital driver’s display which is on the steering wheel.
You will see the slim widescreen display atop the floating dashboard design, similar to but not the same as a head-up display.
The only other displays are the ones mount on the A-pillars to display the feed from the rearview cameras that replace conventional outside rearview mirrors.
Each of the four seats in the Tata Avinya come fit with their own soundbar integrate into the headrest.
The sustainable materials use inside the cabin are still of a premium grade and the beige and brown theme matches the overall relaxe feel of the concept.
Tata Avinya is further fit with an aromatic dispenser to complete the ambience of the cabin.
Production of Tata Avinya
The first production-spec model base on the Gen3 platform is schedule to arrive by 2025.
Tata Avinya itself is unlikely to make it to production, we expect a future Tata EV to take inspiration from this crossover concept.
