Tata Harrier EV: Tata Motors is putting serious effort into shaping the future of electric vehicles, and with the upcoming Harrier EV, they’re all set to take a big leap forward.
The original Harrier made a name for itself with its bold design, strong presence on the road, and tough SUV appeal. Now, Tata aims to bring that same spirit into an electric version — offering the same muscular feel, but in a cleaner and eco-friendly package.
Their goal is simple: to give SUV lovers a green option that doesn’t cut corners on power, performance, or style.
First introduced as a concept model, the Harrier EV is now gearing up for its official launch in India. It’s expected to arrive with updated features, refreshed styling, and a smart powertrain designed to meet today’s real-world driving needs.
So, let’s take a closer look at what makes the Harrier EV a strong contender in the fast-growing EV space.
Design and Exterior Styling
The Harrier EV keeps a shape similar to its petrol and diesel versions but now includes updated styling that makes it look more modern and ready for the future.
The front grille is closed off, the bumpers have been reshaped, and a full-width LED light bar runs across the front. New alloy wheel designs also give it a fresh electric feel, while keeping the strong SUV character the Harrier is known for.
Tata may also offer exclusive paint options for this electric model, helping it stand out even more.
The Harrier has always had a strong road presence, and this electric version carries that same confidence, but with a cleaner and sleeker design.
Interior and Cabin Experience
Inside, the Harrier EV is expected to offer a high-quality, tech-rich experience. Tata’s latest interior design approach—seen in the Nexon EV and the updated Safari—will likely be used here too.
There will be a large floating touchscreen infotainment system with a user-friendly interface, making it great for tech enthusiasts.
You can also expect a fully digital display that shows EV-specific info like range, battery status, and more.
Features may include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, voice commands, soft-touch dashboard materials, ambient lighting, and an overall premium finish.
The cabin will be spacious enough for five people to sit comfortably, with a generous boot area for family trips or everyday use.
Tata is also pushing connected car technology, so the Harrier EV should support over-the-air (OTA) updates for software and features.
Battery, Range and Performance
The Harrier EV will be built on Tata’s latest Gen 2 EV platform, which is based on the Omega Arc structure.
It is expected to come with dual motors, offering an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system—something we haven’t seen yet in a Tata EV.
The battery is likely to be around 60 to 70 kWh, with a real-world range of 400 to 500 km. That means it should easily handle long drives without worry.
The EV will support fast charging, allowing it to go from 10% to 80% in about an hour when using a DC fast charger.
In terms of performance, the Harrier EV should feel powerful with quick acceleration, smooth power delivery, and a quiet drive. Whether in the city or on the highway, it’s expected to offer a refined and easy driving experience.
Safety and Technology
Tata has consistently focused on safety, and the Harrier EV is expected to continue that trend. Likely safety features include:
- Six airbags
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Hill hold assist and downhill control
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Given Tata’s strong recent safety record, the Harrier EV has a good chance of receiving a 5-star rating in Global NCAP tests.
