Alright, folks, buckle up because the Tata Harrier EV is officially happening, and it’s looking sharp! Tata Motors just revealed the production-ready version, and honestly, it’s pretty much the ICE version’s twin, just with some EV-specific upgrades. And guess what? This isn’t just another showroom prop like what we saw at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 in January. Nope. This time, Tata actually took it out for a spin, showing off what it can do on the test track. So, Let’s break it down, What’s different? and what’s new?
Design: Looks Familiar, but Make It Electric
At first glance, the Tata Harrier EV looks a lot like its petrol-powered sibling. But look closer, and you’ll spot the EV-specific tweaks. First up, that grille—oh wait, scratch that. No grille. It’s a closed-off design now because, well, EVs don’t need big openings for cooling. Instead, there’s a new bumper with vertical slats, kinda like what we saw on the Curvv EV.
It’s sleek, it’s modern, and it definitely screams “I’m electric!” Lighting game? Strong. The Harrier EV gets LED DRLs and headlights with cool welcome and goodbye animations. Fancy, right? Moving to the wheels, Tata tweaked the alloy design for better aerodynamics—because, you know, efficiency matters when you’re trying to push that range. And at the back, it’s mostly the same, except for those connected LED taillights and a slightly redesigned bumper that also gets the vertical slat treatment.
Inside the Cabin: Comfy, Techy, and Feature-Packed
Step inside, and—surprise, surprise—it’s almost identical to the ICE version. No radical changes here, but hey, why fix what isn’t broken? Alright, so the Harrier EV is stacked with all the cool tech you’d want. Big 12.3-inch touchscreen? Yep, and it’s got wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay—because who uses wires anymore? Oh, and there’s a slick 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster too. Nice and crisp. No squinting required. You bet. A panoramic sunroof to soak in all that natural light? Yup.
But wait, there’s more! You get ventilated front seats (because nobody likes sweaty backs), a 10-speaker JBL sound system (for those road trip vibes), and something really cool—vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-charge features. Translation: Your Harrier EV can double as a power source. Camping trip? Power outage? No problem. Just plug in and go.
Safety: Because That Matters Too
Tata is going all in on safety with the Harrier EV. Seven airbags? Yes. ABS with EBD? Of course. Front and rear parking sensors? Standard. A 360-degree camera for those tricky parking spots? You got it. And for extra peace of mind, it comes with an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, electronic stability control, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and a whole bunch of ADAS features. In other words, this thing is packed with everything you need to stay safe on the road.
The Big Questions: Power, Range, and Performance
Now, the part everyone’s been waiting for—performance. The Tata Harrier EV is built on Tata’s new “Acti.ev” platform, designed specifically for electric vehicles. And yes, it’s getting all-wheel drive. That means better traction, better handling, and overall, a more exciting drive.
As for range, Tata is aiming big. We’re talking 500+ km on a single charge. That’s pretty solid, considering India’s growing charging infrastructure. Oh, and one more thing—the Harrier EV is getting a multi-link rear suspension, which should make the ride smoother and improve handling. Translation: No more bumpy rides!
Final Thoughts: Should You Be Excited?
Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Oh, 100%. The Tata Harrier EV is looking like a seriously solid electric SUV. Same familiar vibe, but with a fresh twist. Packed with tech. Loaded with safety features. And that range? Pretty impressive. This one’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. in written article
And with AWD, it’s not just another city EV—it’s ready for some adventure too. Now, the only thing left is to wait for Tata to drop the official launch date and pricing. Fingers crossed it’s priced competitively because this one has some serious potential to shake up the EV market. Stay tuned!
