Tata Motors has officially unveiled the much-anticipated Harrier EV in India, priced from ₹21.49 lakh (introductory). Positioned as Tata’s new electric flagship, this premium SUV marks several firsts for the brand — including the return of an all-wheel-drive layout since the discontinuation of the Safari Storme and the debut of dual-motor EV tech in Tata’s lineup.
Key Highlights at a Glance:
- Two Battery Options: 65kWh and 75kWh
- Max Power/Torque: Up to 313hp and 504Nm
- Range: Up to 627km (MIDC); 480–505km real-world (C75 cycle)
- AWD and RWD Variants
- Introductory Price in India: ₹21.49 lakh (~NPR 34.3 lakh, indicative)
Design and Dimensions: Familiar, Yet Futuristic
The Harrier EV retains much of the styling seen on the facelifted Harrier SUV but gains subtle electric-specific tweaks — like a closed-off front grille, EV badges, and new 19-inch aero-optimized alloy wheels. The rear now sports a ‘Harrier.EV’ badge for distinction. It is slightly longer and taller than the standard Harrier but retains the same 2,741mm wheelbase.
A special Stealth Edition with blacked-out elements will also be available at launch, much like Tata’s popular Dark Edition models.
Tech-Rich Interior with QLED Infotainment
Inside, the cabin is premium and futuristic. Tata has equipped the Harrier EV with a world-first 14.53-inch Samsung Neo QLED infotainment screen, offering top-tier image clarity. The dashboard is dual-tone with a fully digital driver’s display, an illuminated Tata logo on the new steering wheel, and 502 litres of boot space.
