Variants
The Harrier EV comes in a wide range of variants designed to suit different driving needs and budgets. Youโve got both RWD (rear-wheel drive) and AWD (all-wheel drive) options on offer. Tata has divided the variants into five main trims: Adventure, Adventure S, Fearless+, Empowered, and Stealth.
The RWD options start from Rs. 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), which makes it pretty attractive for an electric SUV of this size and performance. The AWD (QWD) versions, which come loaded with all the top features and tech, start from Rs. 28.99 lakh.
Hereโs a quick pricing snapshot:
Drive Type | Trim Levels | Starting Price (Ex-showroom) |
---|---|---|
RWD | Adventure to Empowered | Rs. 21.49 lakh |
AWD (QWD) | Top-spec only (Empowered+) | Rs. 28.99 lakh |
Performance
Performance-wise, the Harrier EV means business. The AWD version is the real star here, powered by a big 75kWh battery and two electric motorsโone on each axle. The front motor delivers 156bhp, while the rear motor brings in 235bhp. Together, they generate a solid 504Nm of torque.
Whether youโre planning highway drives or off-road adventures, this powertrain offers strong and confident performance. The instant torque and dual-motor setup mean better grip, faster response, and more control.
Range
One of the biggest questions with EVs is always about rangeโand Tata has an answer thatโll make most people smile. The AWD Harrier EV (QWD version) offers a claimed range of up to 622km on a single charge. Thatโs a serious number, putting it among the longest-range EVs available in India right now.
For the more affordable RWD versions (called C75), the range is still impressive, varying between 460km and 490km depending on the variant. Even these numbers are more than enough for daily commuting and weekend getaways.
Hereโs a look at the range figures:
Variant Type | Battery Size | Claimed Range |
---|---|---|
RWD (C75) | 75kWh | 460-490km |
AWD (QWD) | 75kWh | 622km |
Features
While Tata hasnโt revealed every single detail about equipment levels, top-end variants are expected to offer a premium feature list. Think large touchscreen infotainment, connected car tech, panoramic sunroof, Level 2 ADAS, digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats, and more.
Tataโs new-gen design language gives the Harrier EV a futuristic and bold look, and interior quality is expected to match that modern vibe with dual-tone themes, soft-touch materials, and a spacious cabin layout.
Technology
What makes the Harrier EV stand out isnโt just the range or designโitโs the introduction of QWD, Tataโs version of all-wheel drive for electric vehicles. Until now, AWD was mostly reserved for expensive EVs. By bringing this tech into the mainstream, Tata has made capability and confidence more accessible.
The Harrier EV is also expected to support fast charging, OTA updates, and other smart EV technologies that buyers now expect in this segment.
Tata Motors is taking a big leap with the Harrier EV. Offering both long range and strong performance across multiple variants, and with QWD in play, it opens a new chapter for electric SUVs in India. Whether you want value, power, or cutting-edge features, the Harrier EV seems ready to deliver.
