The Avinya X is an upcoming electric coupe SUV to be marketed in India by Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles under its upmarket electric car brand Avinya, using a platform from Chery Jaguar Land Rover's Freelander marque.

History

On 2 November 2023, following the reveal of the Tata Avinya electric crossover SUV concept using Tata's Gen 3 architecture in April, Tata Motors announced that its electric vehicle subsidiary Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEM) and British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), another Tata Motors subsidiary, signed a memorandum of understanding, where Tata would license JLR's upcoming Electrified Modular Architecture (EMA) platform for use in vehicles sold under the Avinya brand.[1][2] A production version of the Avinya concept was originally expected to enter production by 2025.[3]

On 18 January 2025, at Auto Expo, Tata unveiled a new concept called the Avinya X, built on JLR's EMA.[4][5][6][7][8] Unlike the 2022 concept, it has a coupe SUV body style, and was expected to enter production in 2026.[9] In June 2025, production at Tata's Sanand plant was delayed to 2027.[10]

In June 2026, it was reported that Tata would license a platform developed by Chery for the Freelander 8, produced by Chery JLR in Changshu, China; Tata Technologies would localise the platform for the Indian market, while Tata Motors would assemble Avinya models from Chinese-made knock-down kits in a Panapakkam facility.[11][12][13][14] Tata Motors confirmed the reports later that month.[15] In July, Tata was reportedly testing an Exeed Sterra ET, built on the same E0X platform as the Freelander.[16]

Overview

The Avinya X, codenamed P2, will be the first Avinya model; it was previously slated to be a different model codenamed P1, that has since been put on hold.[17][15]

Features

In March 2025, Tata patented a two-spoke steering wheel for the vehicle.[18] The dashboard was revealed through another design patent in June 2026. The minimalistic setup includes two stalks around the steering wheel, with one acting as the gear selector. There is a wide, sleek instrument cluster behind the wheel.[19]
