India’s EV landscape is shifting rapidly, and Tata Motors is leading the charge. At the heart of its next phase lies the Tata Harrier EV—an all-electric version of its popular premium SUV, unveiled with a striking design, new-age tech, and a dual-motor setup.
🔍 Key Highlights
- Based on Tata’s Acti.ev platform
- Expected range: 500+ km
- All-wheel drive (AWD) via dual-motor layout
- New design elements including a full-width LED light bar
- Launch timeline: Late 2025
⚙️ Powertrain, Battery & Platform
Unlike Tata’s earlier EVs built on ICE platforms (like the Nexon EV), the Harrier EV is expected to debut Tata’s new EV-native platform.
| Specification | Tata Harrier EV |
|---|---|
| Platform | Gen-2 Acti.ev |
| Drivetrain | Dual Motor (AWD) |
| Battery | Estimated 60–70 kWh |
| Range (ARAI) | 500–550 km (expected) |
| Charging | DC Fast Charging (125kW+) |
The dual-motor setup will allow the Harrier EV to offer true AWD capabilities, a feature still rare in this price segment for electric vehicles.
🧑💻 Features & Tech Expected
While Tata has not revealed the full equipment list, the Harrier EV is likely to inherit and enhance the feature-rich cabin seen in the ICE facelift version:
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment
- Panoramic sunroof
- 360-degree camera with blind view
- ADAS Level 2 (expected)
- Connected car tech with OTA updates
- Powered front seats & ambient lighting
Tata has also teased an advanced digital instrument cluster and custom EV driving modes.
🔄 Harrier EV vs Rivals: Early Comparison
Here’s how the Harrier EV stacks up—on paper—against upcoming and existing electric SUVs:
| Feature | Tata Harrier EV | Mahindra XUV.e8 | Hyundai Creta EV (Expected) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | Late 2025 | Late 2024 | Early 2025 |
| Drivetrain | AWD (Dual Motor) | AWD (Likely) | FWD |
| Range | 500+ km | 450–500 km | 400–450 km |
| Battery | 60–70 kWh | ∼80 kWh | ∼50 kWh |
| Platform | EV-native (Acti.ev) | INGLO | ICE-to-EV |
| ADAS | Yes (L2) | Yes | Basic |
| Price Range | ₹28–32 Lakh | ₹35–38 Lakh | ₹20–23 Lakh |
The Harrier EV will likely sit in the upper premium segment, appealing to those seeking a full-size electric SUV with long range and advanced features, without breaching the luxury segment pricing.
🗓 Expected Launch & Bookings
The Tata Harrier EV will enter the market by late 2025, with full specifications to be revealed closer to launch. Pre-launch bookings could begin as early as Q4 2025.
📝 Final Thoughts
The Tata Harrier EV isn’t just a new electric SUV—it represents a shift in Tata’s approach to EV manufacturing. With a purpose-built platform, extended range, AWD, and tech-focused interiors, it’s positioned to challenge both ICE SUVs and newer EV entrants.
While pricing will be key to its success, if Tata can keep it under ₹32 lakh (ex-showroom), the Harrier EV could become one of the most balanced EV offerings in India’s premium space.
