Tata Motors is going through one of its busiest product cycles ever. Between mid-2026 and early 2027, the homegrown carmaker is lining up a fresh wave of SUVs that span electric flagships, three-row family haulers, and next-generation compact models. If you are planning an SUV purchase in the near future, here is a practical, no-nonsense look at the four Tata SUVs worth waiting for.
1. Tata Sierra EV
The electric version of the recently revived Sierra is the first big launch on this list, going on sale in mid-2026. It carries over the boxy, retro-inspired silhouette of the ICE Sierra but adds electric-specific styling touches inside and out. Expect two battery pack options, with the larger one targeting a claimed range of over 500 km per charge. Tata is also expected to offer its Quad-Wheel-Drive (QWD) setup on higher variants, giving the Sierra EV genuine all-terrain credibility rather than just badge appeal. For buyers who liked the design of the ICE Sierra but want a fully electric daily driver, this is likely to be the pick of 2026.
2. Tata Safari EV
Arriving around the festive season of 2026, the Safari EV will be Tata’s flagship electric SUV and its first all-electric three-row model. Built on the acti.ev+ platform, it shares its underpinnings and battery options with the Harrier EV, with 65 kWh and 75 kWh packs on offer and a real-world range expected to comfortably cross 450-500 km. The top-spec dual-motor version is expected to bring proper AWD performance, with 0-100 kmph in around 8 seconds. Pricing is likely to start near Rs 22 lakh and go up to around Rs 30 lakh for fully loaded variants. For large families wanting a seven-seat electric SUV, the Safari EV will directly rival the Mahindra XEV 9S.
3. Tata Avinya X
Slated for launch in early to mid-2027, the Avinya X marks Tata’s move into the premium EV space. Built on a localised version of JLR’s 800V EMA platform (via the Chery-JLR ecosystem), it is expected to pack 90 kWh and 100 kWh battery options with a range comfortably beyond 550 km. Reports point to a genuinely premium feature list, a triple-screen dashboard, a glass roof, Level 2+ ADAS, pop-out door handles, wraparound tail lamps, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality. Pricing could range between Rs 22 lakh and Rs 45 lakh, depending on variant, positioning it well above Tata’s current EV lineup and squarely against premium electric SUVs from other brands.
4. Next-Gen Tata Nexon (Codename “Garud”)
Rounding off the list is the third-generation Nexon, expected in late 2026 or early 2027. Internally codenamed “Garud,” this will reportedly be a ground-up redesign rather than a facelift, covering both the ICE and EV versions. Given how central the Nexon has been to Tata’s sales volumes, expect a heavily revised platform, an updated interior with a larger touchscreen and digital cluster, and an expanded ADAS suite, alongside styling that borrows cues from the brand’s newer design language.
Wrapping Up
Tata’s 2026-27 roadmap shows a clear pattern: electrify the flagship models first (Sierra EV, Safari EV), then push upmarket with Avinya X, while refreshing the volume-driver Nexon to stay competitive. Exact prices and launch dates can still shift, so it’s worth tracking official Tata Motors announcements closer to each launch window before making a buying decision.
