After a three-year hiatus, Tata Motors Auto Expo is finally back. At this year’s event, as usual, many manufacturers will unveil several concepts, future tech, and upcoming models.
Tata Motors plans to expand its electric vehicle portfolio with new models and higher prices, the chief executive said on Wednesday, consolidating its lead as India’s top-selling electric vehicle (EV) company. The automaker also plans to offer a range of electric vehicles, including a shorter range for driving within the city, to meet the needs of multiple buyers.
Tata’s upcoming electric cars:
At Auto Expo 2023, Tata Motors is preparing to showcase several electric vehicles, including Avinya and Curvv prototypes. Last year, Tata Motors unveiled its Curvv and Avinya EV concepts making their first public appearances at the Auto expo. Built on the second generation of the Nexon EV platform, the Curvv concept is essentially a preview of a future midsize coupe SUV due to hit the market by 2024, with both EV and ICE powertrain options. Avinya, on the other hand, is an electric vehicle from the ground up, using Tata’s more advanced Gen 3 architecture. Looking at its proportions and dimensions, it’s clear that Avinya is nothing more than a purpose-built electric vehicle. Its design is based on batteries and electric motors placed in far corners to maximize cabin space. It also offers the use of sustainable materials and receives a unique aroma diffuser for the cabin. At the expo, Tata will also showcase future technologies such as hydrogen fuel, ADAS technology and the latest in connected car technology, which will soon be introduced in the Harrier and Safari facelifts.
The Tata Punch EV
One of the most anticipated models at this year’s Auto Expo, the all-electric version of the Punch will be the first electrified model based on the automaker’s Sigma platform. This model is expected to go on sale around Christmas 2023. The Punch EV could use a powertrain similar to Tata’s existing electric vehicles. Tata has yet to announce battery specs for the Punch EV, but like Tiago and Nexon EV, Tata could offer multiple battery pack options. The Punch EV is expected to be Rs 1-1.5 lakhs higher than the top-tier Punch AMT. Tata is pursuing a multi-powertrain strategy to maximize volume in its existing model line, as demonstrated by the Tiago and Tigor, which are available in petrol, CNG and electric. After Punch EV, there will likely be a CNG version, which could also be showcased at Auto Expo.
Tata Motors has launched a limited edition of Nexon which marks the celebration of 1 lakh sales milestone achieved by the brand. Tata nexon kraz mileage, as it is called and pronounced as ‘craze’, is now available for sale. The limited-edition is offered by two variants – the KRAZ and KRAZ+. The KRAZ will have manual gearbox while the KRAZ+ will have an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT).
The Exterior of Nexon KRAZ gets all-new TROMSO Black body with the Silver roof. ORVMs are Tangerine-colored, Grill also gets Tangerine inserts. The alloy wheels get Tangerine accents plus KRAZ badge on the tailgate. On the interior, the seat fabric receives Tangerine accents as well as the stitching of the same color. The piano black dashboard gets Tangerine colored air-vent periphery. Steering accents are now finished in piano black along with the door and console are finished in upmarket black color. These range of changes increases the visual appeal of the Nexon KRAZ.
Tata Nexon is available in both Petrol and Diesel engine options. The 1.2-liter Revotron petrol and 1.5-liter Revotorq diesel engine, both of which are mated to either 6-speed manual or AMT gearbox.

With its unique, flowing styling, it was different from the competition and continues to be different from the rest.
It looks perfectly proportionate from all angles and is the only SUV in its class that doesn't get a boxy silhouette.
The grille is new; so are the sharp-looking headlamps and the sportier looking front bumper, featuring C-shaped surrounds on the light cluster below, plus a faux bull bar and scuff-plate.
The steering looks similar to the one on the Altroz, and instead of the analogue dials, you get a digital readout for the speedometer and other functions.
When it comes to comfort, the Nexon has never disappointed; the cabin is wide and spacious and the seats up-ahead are positioned at a good height; even the footwell has ample room.
Legroom at the back is enough; so is headroom, despite the sloping roof line towards the back.
