Tata Motors is once again making headlines, and this time, it’s for something big — the all-new Tata Harrier EV. With EVs gaining serious traction in India, the company is stepping up its game with this electric version of its popular SUV. Launched at a starting price of ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Harrier EV is not just a greener alternative but a whole new take on electric driving, blending performance, design, and tech into one sleek package. It’s Tata’s way of saying electric cars can be bold, fun, and luxurious — all at once.
Striking Design and Future-Ready Platform
From the outside, the Harrier EV looks sharp and futuristic, without straying too far from the original design that made it a crowd favorite. But look a little closer and you’ll spot a few modern touches — like the closed-off front grille, new LED lighting designs, and fresh alloy wheels aimed at improving aerodynamics. It’s built on Tata’s Acti.ev+ platform, which has been specially developed to accommodate electric powertrains and bigger batteries, offering better structure and space inside.
This design gives it a commanding presence while making it clear that this is a new-age EV, not just a fuel-powered SUV turned electric.
Power and Performance: High on Thrill
When it comes to performance, the Harrier EV doesn’t play it safe. You get two battery pack options — a 65 kWh and a larger 75 kWh version. Tata claims the top model can deliver up to 627 km on a full charge under ideal conditions. That’s more than enough for a week of city driving or even longer highway road trips.
What makes it even more exciting is the dual-motor setup powering all four wheels. This gives the SUV all-wheel drive capabilities and helps it churn out a powerful 390 bhp and 504 Nm of torque. The result? A quick 0-100 km/h sprint in just over 6 seconds. And if you’re in a hurry, fast charging support means you can juice up from 20% to 80% in under 30 minutes with a 120 kW charger.
Luxurious and Tech-Loaded Cabin
Step inside, and it’s clear Tata wanted the Harrier EV to feel premium. The layout is clean and high-tech, starting with a massive 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster. There’s also wireless smartphone connectivity, a 10-speaker JBL sound system, and even a panoramic sunroof to give the cabin a spacious feel.
The front seats are ventilated, the cabin lighting can be changed to match your mood, and there’s dual-zone climate control to keep everyone comfortable. The materials used across the dashboard and doors feel solid and well-finished — more like a luxury car than a budget SUV.
Class-Leading Safety Features
On the safety front, the Harrier EV brings in a long list of advanced systems. It’s got seven airbags, electronic stability control, 360-degree surround cameras, and more. But what stands out is the inclusion of Level-2 ADAS features.
This means the car helps you drive safer with tech like adaptive cruise control, lane departure alerts, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitoring. And yes, it even comes with auto park assist, making tight city parking just a little less stressful.
Off-Road Capabilities: Not Just a City SUV
Most EVs are great in cities but start struggling once you leave the tarmac. Not the Harrier EV. Tata tested this beast on some serious climbs — including Kerala’s steep and rocky Elephant Rock, and the car handled it like a pro.
The SUV comes with dedicated terrain modes like Snow, Mud, Rock, and Sand. Combine that with its AWD system and you’ve got an EV that’s off-road capable. So whether you’re planning a trip to the mountains or a dirt road to your farmhouse, this one’s got your back.
Variants and Pricing
Tata has launched the Harrier EV in three main trims: Adventure, Fearless, and Empowered. Each comes with its own set of tech and performance perks, so there’s something for every kind of buyer. Prices range from ₹21.49 lakh for the base model to around ₹30 lakh for the top-tier variant.
That might sound like a lot, but given the features and range, it’s competitive when you compare it with what’s available in the market.
Competing With the Best in the Market
The Harrier EV is entering a space that’s heating up fast. Rivals include the BYD Atto 3, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta EV, and the upcoming Mahindra XUV.e9. But Tata’s offering stands out — not just for its styling or features, but also for its practicality and the brand’s growing EV reputation.
With a strong service network and proven experience in EVs through models like the Nexon EV and Tiago EV, Tata is better positioned than most to take the lead.
A Step Toward Sustainable Future
This EV is more than just another electric SUV on the market — it represents a big leap forward in how Indian manufacturers view premium electric mobility. The Harrier EV proves that going electric doesn’t mean compromising on power, luxury, or road presence.
If you’ve been waiting for an electric SUV that looks great, drives well, and can tackle both daily commutes and long road trips, the Tata Harrier EV might just be the perfect pick. It’s bold, capable, and ready for the future — just like the drivers it’s made for.
