Is India's entrepreneurial spirit or its economic desperation on display in the popularity of the Tata Ace?
26 December 2024 12:52
It's a stepping stone. Or maybe it starts with an Ace, but I've seen guys grow from that to having multiple trucks and running actual logistics companies. It's starting people, which is more than a lot of government programs do.

In mixed driving I get about 14-15 km/l. They’re not bad, but they’re hardly reaching the claimed figures.

Highway mileage is great! On long trips I've seen 19 km/l. It’s another story when it comes to city driving.

It's all about how you drive. You can get close to the claimed figures feathering the throttle.

In heavy city traffic, I average about 13 km/l. Disappointing for a turbo engine, but not unexpected.

The Eco mode helps but it just makes you feel like the car is sluggish. I like the balance of City mode.

Fuel efficiency was a shock, coming from a Maruti. However the driving experience makes up for it.

Though more efficient than my old NA Altroz, it's not by a huge margin. Probably an overall 1-1.5 km/l better.
Can the Tata Avinya's 'born electric' platform edge out converted ICE vehicles?

Absolutely. The future is born electric platforms. More interior space, better packaging and optimized performance.

It's overrated. The modern adapted platforms are so good that most people won't care.

It will also future proof. The EV platform will be easier to update and improve over time as it is dedicated.

26 December 2024 12:23
It's a big risk for Tata. Creating a new platform is costly and time consuming. In fact, they might have been better off to adapt an existing one.

This will open up more creative body styles and interior layouts as it is born electric. That could be a big selling point.

It depends on execution. Even a well designed adapted platform could be better than a mediocre ground up EV platform.

The biggest advantage may be in brand perception. It sounds more advanced and appealing to tech savvy buyers if it is 'born electric'.
Can the Tata Avinya's 'born electric' platform edge out converted ICE vehicles?
26 December 2024 12:23
But I’m more interested in the battery tech and the charging capabilities. If those aren’t competitive, the platform type doesn’t matter as much.
Will the futuristic design of the Tata Avinya see production?
26 December 2024 12:23
The concept will be nowhere near the production version. The designs are always watered down to make them cheaper to produce. A generic crossover shape with some fancy lights is what you'll get.
Will the futuristic design of the Tata Avinya see production?
26 December 2024 12:23
Tata will keep a lot of the futuristic elements, I think. They have to do something radical to compete with Tesla and the premium German EVs. Playing it safe won't cut it.
Will the futuristic design of the Tata Avinya see production?
26 December 2024 12:23
I think they'll keep 70-80% of the concept design. The glass roof and funky doors will probably be dialed back, but the overall shape and styling will probably be pretty close.

If they keep the exterior fairly true to the concept, I bet the interior gets completely redesigned to be more practical and cost effective.
