After Tiago What? Tata's Remaining Launches For 2026 Detailed
The latest launch from Tata Motors has been the new Tiago. The carmaker continues to have strong faith in the entry-level hatchback segment. The new Tiago continues to be offered with petrol, CNG and electric powertrains. What after the Tiago? The Indian carmaker seems to have lined up a series of interesting products this year.
Before diving in, here’s a quick look at the new Tiago. 2026 Tata Tiago (petrol) starts at Rs 4.69 lakh, ex-showroom. The CNG version has an ex-showroom starting price of Rs 5.79 lakh, and the facelifted EV begins at Rs 6.99 lakh. The new Tiago.EV also offers Battery as a Service (BaaS) scheme which brings down the upfront cost to Rs 4.69 lakh ( battery rent would be Rs 2.6 per km).
The design has been made sharper on the new Tiago. Additionally,. The fit and finish inside, and the interior layout at large, have also been improved. The new hatchback also sees the addition of features like 360-degree camera, blind spot monitoring system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, digital instrument cluster and more. Six airbags are now standard. No changes have been made to the powertrains of the internal combustion or EV versions. Now, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming Tata launches.
The next big EV launch from Tata Motors will be the much-awaited Sierra.EV. Previously it was expected to go on sale in May this year. According to the latest reports, the Sierra.EV will launch sometime in the second half of calendar year 2026. It could have its ex-showroom prices in the range of Rs15-25 lakh.
In Tata’s portfolio, it will be positioned between the Curvv.EV and Harrier.EV, strengthening the Indian carmaker’s position as a major in the EV space. The electric Sierra will compete with models like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE6, MG ZS EV and Maruti eVitara.
The electric version of the Sierra will likely share most of its features with the internal combustion counterpart. If so, we expect it to come with a triple-screen cluster, panoramic sunroof, premium JBL audio with Dolby Atmos, connected car features, ADAS, panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate and more.
The Sierra.EV will be based on the ARGOS platform, shared with its internal combustion counterpart. This is a multi-energy platform and can comfortably accommodate the EV’s powertrain. Lower trims will come with a single-motor setup while higher variants will feature dual-motor-based All Wheel Drive (AWD) (which the carmaker calls ‘Quad Wheel Drive’ (QWD)) Tata hasn’t officially revealed the battery specifications yet, but we expect it to come with 55kWh and 65kWh units. The larger of these will likely offer a range of 500km per charge.
Another expected launch is that of the Safari.EV- Tata’s first seven-seater electric SUV. It is expected to make its debut sometime during the festive season this year. When launched, it will also become the carmaker’s new flagship EV.
The Safari is expected to share its platform, battery packs and architecture with the Harrier.EV. It will then be underpinned by the same Acti.EV+ platform. This platform is powered by TiDAL (Tata Intelligent Digital Architecture Layer), which enables support for OTA updates, summon mode, more ADAS features, 540-degree camera, and more.
Two battery packs- 65 kWh and 75 kWh- are likely to be offered on the Safari.EV. The vehicle is expected to have a claimed driving range of 550-600 km per charge. There are also rumours that Tata is planning to introduce a bigger 80kWh unit on this SUV. Time remains before we find out.
Lower variants of the Safari.EV will come with Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) while higher ones will likely feature dual motor-based All Wheel Drive, just like the Harrier.EV. This electric SUV will likely have its ex-showroom prices in the range of Rs 22.5 lakh to Rs 30 lakh.
The Indian government is aggressively pushing for higher blending levels and a slow transition into flex fuel. Keeping the same in mind, Tata is developing flex fuel models, the first of which is likely to be based on the Punch. It was previously showcased at the Auto Expo 2025 and will go on sale in late 2026 or early 2027.
The Punch Flex fuel will be powered by a heavily modified version of the 1.2-litre petrol engine. It will be capable of running on blends from E20 to E100- 20% Ethanol to 100% Ethanol. The flex fuel engine will get different fuel injectors, corrosion-resistant fuel lines, and Ethanol sensors. The ECU will also be recalibrated.
The carmaker plans to enter the luxury EV space with the Avinya family. The range will have at least five models with different body styles and dimensions. These are currently codenamed P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5. The first of these, codenamed P1 will go on sale sometime in 2026. Essentially the production form of the Avinya X, is known to be in the final stages of development.
The first Avinya model will have futuristic styling, LED lighting and several other modern cues. There will also be a strong focus on aerodynamics. Inside, it will have a minimalistic-yet-luxurious cabin. Large screens, ventilated seats with massage function, Level 2+ ADAS, and panoramic sunroof are all to be expected.
Underpinning the Avinya range will be a localised version of Jaguar Land Rover’s EMA (Electrified Modular Architecture) platform. This 800V architecture will support ultra-fast charging- 10-80% in under 20 minutes, and large battery sizes. Details of the battery packs remain unclear, although 80 kWh and 100 kWh remain strong possibilities. The EV will likely deliver a range of around 500-720 km per charge.
