1. Tata Tiago EV Facelift
The Tata Tiago EV is one of the most accessible electric cars in India, attracting buyers who want a reliable EV without a high price tag. In 2026, Tata is expected to launch a facelifted version with subtle but meaningful updates.
Spotted testing multiple times on Indian roads, the Tiago EV facelift is expected to carry forward its popular battery options — the 19.2 kWh and 24 kWh packs. Exterior changes are likely to be mild, focused on refreshed bumpers, updated lighting elements, and new styling cues that align with Tata’s current design language.
Interior improvements could include a new digital instrument cluster, upgraded infotainment software, and a refreshed cabin colour scheme. These changes aim to keep the Tiago EV competitive as more affordable EV options emerge in the market.
2. Tata Punch EV Facelift
After updating the regular Punch with a new design and turbocharged engine options, Tata is now planning a facelift for the Tata Punch EV the electric version of the popular micro SUV.
The Punch EV facelift is expected to receive design updates similar to its petrol counterpart, such as a revised front fascia, updated bumpers, new alloy wheels, and possibly a connected LED light bar at the rear. Inside, Tata may offer a refreshed colour theme and new features to improve comfort and convenience.
Industry watchers are also speculating about the addition of advanced safety and driver assist technologies in the facelifted Punch EV — features that could help it stand out in an increasingly crowded segment.
Despite cosmetic and feature changes, the Punch EV’s powertrain is unlikely to change drastically, and it is expected to continue with its current 25 kWh and 35 kWh battery options.
3. Tata Sierra EV New 2026
The Tata Sierra is one of the most iconic nameplates in India, and its return in an electric avatar has generated significant buzz. The upcoming Sierra EV is expected to be one of Tata’s flagship electric SUVs in 2026.
Tata Motors has confirmed that the Sierra EV will launch with a dual-motor setup, making it more powerful than standard single-motor EVs. The exterior is likely to retain much of the rugged appeal of the Sierra’s ICE version but will feature EV-specific styling such as a closed front grille, unique alloy wheel designs, and modern lighting signatures.
Under the skin, the Sierra EV is expected to borrow its battery tech from the Harrier EV, with 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery pack options. The interior is expected to be spacious and feature-rich, with a large touchscreen, digital displays, and modern connectivity features. The Sierra EV is currently in testing and could launch toward the end of 2026.
4. Tata Avinya X Premium Electric SUV
What sets the Avinya X apart is its independent sales and ownership experience, which will be different from the traditional Tata dealership model. It is expected to be a larger, more premium EV, blending SUV and estate body styles and positioned above Tata’s current lineup.
While exact specifications are yet to be confirmed, the Avinya X is likely to feature advanced technology, high-end comfort, and premium refinement. It represents Tata’s ambition to compete not just in volume segments but also in the premium EV category.
5. Tata Safari EV Spacious Electric 7 Seater
The Tata Safari has been a favourite in the Indian SUV segment for years, known for its commanding presence and spacious cabin. In 2026, Tata is expected to introduce an electric version of this well-loved SUV the Safari EV.
Built on the same platform as the Harrier EV, the Safari EV is expected to share its battery and electric drivetrain components. While Tata has not confirmed whether it will offer all-wheel-drive or high-performance variants, the Safari EV is likely to appeal strongly to buyers who want a family-friendly electric SUV with three rows of seating.
If launched as expected, the Safari EV could become one of the more practical premium electric vehicles for Indian families, combining space, range, and utility.
