Shaping the future of mobility: The transformative power of automotive design
The transformative power of automotive design. The article is authored by Ajay Jain- Head of India Design Studio at Tata Motor. Design is often perceived as the art of creating visually pleasing concepts. However, in the automotive industry, it transcends mere visual appeal— it shapes materials into sophisticated, purposeful vehicles and translates complex technologies into intuitive, human-centric experiences. From enhancing vehicle safety and performance to embedding cutting-edge technology, design plays an instrumental role in shaping the industry's future. In recent years, factors such as rapid digitisation, the rise of electric and connected vehicles, evolving regulatory frameworks, and increasing consumer demand for personalisation have placed automotive design at the forefront of industry transformation. Recent projections indicate that by 2030, the auto component industry is expected to triple in size to USD 200 billion and automotive design will be a key catalyst in enabling this growth. Most importantly, it reflects a brand's core values—whether its sustainability, innovation, or heritage—ensuring a lasting impact in an ever-evolving market.

Designing an automobile demands a precise balance of science, art, and engineering. It involves selecting the right materials, shaping them into optimal forms, and refining the 'touch and feel' of a vehicle to create a memorable customer experience. Every design choice, whether in exterior styling, interior comfort, or the integration of intuitive controls, directly influences consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions. Tata Sierra design explained: Glass panels but no safety compromises! | TOI Auto To achieve this, automakers rely on cross-functional collaboration where design teams work alongside engineering, product development, manufacturing, and marketing departments. This synergy ensures that every vehicle combines technical precision with emotional appeal, ultimately shaping a distinct and enduring brand identity. The automotive design process involves various specialised roles, each contributing unique expertise. Shape designers define the exterior form through sketches and digital renderings, while space designers optimise interior layouts for comfort and functionality. Surface designers select materials, textures, and finishes to enhance the vehicle's tactile and visual appeal, while interaction designers create intuitive controls that blend the latest technology with functional mechanics for safer and seamless user experiences. Redefining the future of mobility The future of mobility is driven by tech innovations and sustainability, reshaping automotive design and user experiences. As consumers increasingly expect granular personalisation with features like internet connectivity, embedded IoT devices, and advanced smart technologies, vehicles are evolving into mobile extensions of the digital ecosystem. Building on this transformation, the growing adoption of autonomous driving technology is prompting a fundamental re-evaluation of vehicle architecture . With self-driving capabilities reducing the need for driver-centric designs, automakers are shifting their focus to occupant-centric layouts, creating more flexible and experiential interiors. A major shift in automotive design is also witnessed by the rapid rise of electric vehicles (EVs). Unlike traditional internal combustion vehicles, EVs offer greater flexibility in layout due to the absence of large engines and complex drivetrains. This allows designers to prioritise spacious, modular interiors and experiment with aerodynamic, minimalist exteriors that enhance energy efficiency. Moreover, as the concept of sustainability takes centre stage for both consumers and brands, the use of eco-friendly materials, recycled components, and energy-efficient manufacturing processes is gaining momentum. With tightening environmental regulations and growing consumer awareness, automakers are increasingly embracing circular design practices to reduce waste and extend vehicle lifecycles. Shaping the way forward Automotive designers are no longer bound by traditional constraints—they are redefining vehicles as dynamic, multifunctional spaces. By leveraging AI, smart sensors, and adaptive systems, vehicles are being transformed into immersive environments that offer personalised comfort, entertainment, and productivity features. The convergence of technology and sustainable principles is enabling the creation of vehicles that forge deeper, more meaningful connections with consumers. Cars are evolving from mere modes of transportation into versatile, experience-driven platforms, reflecting a future where design, innovation, and sustainability are inseparably linked.

Future of AWD in Tata's portfolioOn the subject of all-wheel drive (AWD), Srivatsa candidly acknowledged a gap in Tata's current lineup. 'The last AWD vehicle we had was the Hexa, which we phased out in 2019. The AWD segment is less than 5% of the market, but our SUVs have always been known for performance. So we're bringing AWD back in a modern, electrified form,' he AWD is currently being rolled out in Tata's EV offerings like the Harrier EV, Srivatsa hinted that the technology may also make its way into future ICE vehicles, depending on consumer response. 'We'll assess the take rate, and it can probably be extended to ICE models as well,' he said. This could very well mean that the iCE variants of the Tata Harrier and the Tata Safari, and the upcoming Tata Sierra could very well be offered with AWD technology in the near EV consumer expectationsWhen asked about the current state and trajectory of India's electric vehicle market, Srivatsa noted a significant shift in consumer mindset. 'If you go back three years, the primary questions were about cost of operation, EV pricing versus ICE, and charging access. Today, many of those questions are answered,' he said. With the charging infrastructure expanding and products like the Harrier EV offering strong value, Tata believes consumers now expect more than just price parity—they want greater performance and chain and rare earth magnets concernAddressing concerns around rare earth materials and EV supply chains, Srivatsa acknowledged the challenges posed by geopolitical factors but remained optimistic. 'Yes, there is a little bit of concern, but we are confident that between the industry and the government, these issues will be resolved,' he to Auto Today Magazine

Tata Nexon survives parking lift collapse, sedan falling on roof: Details
Image Credit (LinkedIn/ShailyaJaggi). Tata Motors' reputation for building tough cars was once again put to the test; albeit in an unexpected situation at a multi-level parking facility. A Tata Nexon bore the weight of a falling lift and another car yet came away with only minor damage. The owner of the SUV took to social media to share the incident. According to her, the SUV was parked in a multi-level parking lot when she received a call from the security team informing her that the lift above her car had failed. The lift, which also had a sedan parked in it, had collapsed, landing right on top of her Nexon. Surprisingly, the vehicle had held its ground with minimal visible damage. In the photos she posted, the sedan and the lift structure can be seen resting on the roof of the Nexon. As seen in the images, the overall structural integrity of the SUV remained largely intact. Though it suffered a few bruises, the damage was far less than what one might expect in such a scenario.
