Tata Motors is charging ahead in the EV race with the official launch of the Harrier EV. Priced at ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), this electric SUV builds on the legacy of the ICE Harrier, but with a lot more futuristic flair. Bookings open on 2nd July, and that’s when Tata will reveal the full variant-wise price list. Until then, let’s look into what this electric SUV brings to the table.
Design
At first glance, it’s obvious the Harrier EV is not just a converted ICE version. Its sleeker front end with a LED light bar gives it a distinct identity. The bumpers are redesigned for better aerodynamics, and the 19-inch aero-optimised wheels really elevate its stance. Compared to its diesel sibling, this EV is sharper, smoother, and more modern in every angle.
Interior
Step inside and the tech-heavy cabin makes an instant impression. The centerpiece is a massive 14.53-inch touchscreen featuring the world’s first Samsung Neo QLED display in a car. Fancy, right? There’s also a digital instrument cluster and Tata’s now-signature four-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated logo.
For audiophiles, the 10-speaker JBL system with Dolby Atmos 5.1 is a treat. It also gets a digital IRVM, connected car features, OTA updates, and a panoramic sunroof. Comfort hasn’t been compromised either—with electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats included.
Features
Tata hasn’t cut corners on smart features. The Harrier EV comes with Level 2 ADAS, offering advanced driver aids. The 540-degree surround camera makes parking a breeze, and a unique DrivePay feature lets you make FASTag and EV charging payments on the go. It’s like having a digital wallet built into your SUV.
Variants
The Harrier EV will be available in three variants: Adventure, Fearless, and Empowered. Each offers a slightly different driving experience and battery option, catering to various user needs.
Battery
Two battery pack options are on offer—65kWh and 75kWh. The smaller battery powers a single motor setup for the RWD variants, delivering 235bhp. On the other hand, the top-end dual motor setup with QWD (Quad Motor Drive) includes a 75kWh pack that combines a 155bhp front motor with a 235bhp rear motor.
Check out the battery and power comparison:
| Variant | Battery | Power Output | Drive Type | Range (MIDC) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Variant | 65kWh | 235bhp | RWD | ~450-500km |
| Top Variant | 75kWh | 390bhp | AWD (QWD) | 627km |
Performance
Despite being a big SUV, the Harrier EV is no slouch. The dual-motor AWD setup pushes it from 0 to 100kmph in just 6.3 seconds. That’s quick, especially for something this size. It also comes with four drive and six terrain modes, making it truly versatile—whether you’re on highways or rocky trails.
Charging
The EV supports both AC and DC charging. With a 7.2kW AC charger, you can fully charge it from 10 to 100% in 10.7 hours—ideal for overnight charging at home. If you’re in a rush, a 120kW DC fast charger juices it from 20 to 80% in just 25 minutes. Plus, Tata is backing the battery with a lifetime warranty. That’s peace of mind sorted.
If you’re in the market for a premium, tech-loaded electric SUV that doesn’t shy away from performance or features, the Harrier EV should be high on your list. It’s not just an electric alternative to the diesel Harrier—it’s a complete overhaul with more power, more tech, and way more style.
