The EV sector of Indian industry experiences disruptive changes through Tata Motors' participation. Tata Motors previously declared its plan to introduce two new electric vehicles which would arrive during the financial year 2024-25. The Curvv EV became available to customers a few months ago when it entered the market.
Tata plans to release its second EV named Harrier EV during the last quarter of March 2025. Tata Motors declared that the Tata Sierra EV production will begin in the final quarter of 2025. The following section focuses on the Tata Harrier EV's promising offerings.
The main special features of the Tata Harrier EV emerge next.
The main attraction of the Tata Harrier EV is its dual electric motor configuration. Test car images have revealed a positioning of the rear axle motor. Evidence from spy photos indicates that the Harrier EV will provide customers with rear-wheel drive capability (RWD) in addition to all-wheel drive functionality (AWD). AWD versions of the vehicle can utilize two electric motors installed on the front axle to enhance both traction capabilities and driving performance.
Tata Motors keeps its information about the electric motor and battery pack system under strict confidentiality. The Harrier EV model should deliver greater than 500 km range from a complete charge. The small size of the Tata Curvv EV allows it to reach a maximum 502 km driving range.
The Tata Harrier EV will likely resemble the conventionally fuelled Harrier car, which is equipped with a combustion engine. Spy photos and photos of the 2024 Bharat Mobility Global Expo reveal that the EV variant will also possess the same shape as the petrol/diesel variant. There will be some subtle changes to give it the appearance of an electric vehicle, however.
For instance, the concept vehicle of the Harrier EV which was recently shown at the expo featured a wheel of an alternative alloy variety and a grille shut, the common feature shared by most EVs. There has not yet been the mass production of the Harrier EV but its production model launch can be expected later this year in coming months.
The Harrier EV should be equipped with features like those of the normal Harrier. Some of the features that can be expected to be included are:
A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment unit
A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver
Dual-zone automatic AC
Powered and ventilated seats for the front
A wireless charging pad
A panoramic sunroof with mood lighting
A gesture-operated powered tailgate
The safety features of the Harrier EV may consist of as many as seven airbags and a 360-degree camera. It may also have advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which are already on offer on the ICE variant of the Harrier.
The cost of the Tata Harrier EV is expected to be approximately Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom). It is going to be a high-end electric SUV. It will compete with other electric SUVs, such as the Mahindra XUV.e8, BYD Atto 3, and Maruti eVX. It will also be an upper variant compared to the MG ZS EV and the Tata Curvv EV.
The Tata Harrier EV is among the most anticipated electric vehicles in India. Its two-motor configuration, industry-leading features, and more than 500 km range will be a splash in the electric SUV segment.
Despite the official launch still to be undertaken only up to March 2025, Tata Motors has already thrown us for a loop with what it has up its sleeve with spy images and concept unveilings.
