Key takeaways

  • Tata is reported to be developing the Kuno, a midsize electric SUV, expected in 2027-28.
  • At around 4.3 metres, it is almost the same length as the 4,295 mm MG Windsor EV.
  • It is reported to sit between the next-generation Nexon EV and the Sierra EV, on the Acti.ev platform.
  • Estimated pricing reported is Rs 14 lakh to 18 lakh; battery, range and price are unconfirmed.

Tata Motors is reported to be developing a midsize electric SUV, codenamed Kuno, expected to launch in 2027-28 as a rival to the MG Windsor EV. Tata has not officially announced the car, so there is no confirmed price and no booking date yet.

Where the Kuno fits

The Kuno is reported to sit above the Nexon EV in Tata's electric range. Reports place it above the next-generation Nexon EV and below the Sierra EV, which makes it a middle step for buyers who want more than a Nexon EV without moving up to the Sierra EV.

It is expected to be around 4.3 metres long, almost the same as the Windsor EV's 4,295 mm. That puts the two cars in direct competition on size.

Platform and production

The Kuno is reported to be built on Tata's Acti.ev platform, which is designed for electric cars and supports front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Tata has not revealed battery capacities, motor specifications or driving range.

  • Likely plant: Tata's Sanand facility in Gujarat
  • Reported annual production target: about 80,000-100,000 units
  • Reported role: part of Tata's plan, announced at its Investor Day in June 2026, to expand its EV range from six to 10 models by FY2031

A target of that size suggests Tata sees the Kuno as a volume model, not a niche one.

Expected price

Estimated pricing reported for the Kuno is Rs 14 lakh to 18 lakh. Treat that as a guess until Tata confirms prices.

If you need an electric SUV of this size now, the Windsor EV is the car you can actually buy. If you can wait until 2027-28, the Kuno may offer a Tata alternative, but its price, battery and range are all unconfirmed.
