The Tata Harrier EV made its debut at the 2023 Auto Show before making an appearance earlier in the year at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. While it was being tested in Leh, India, we were able to obtain fresh spy photos of Tata’s next all-electric mid-size SUV.
Electric Motor Observed
The Harrier EV’s rear-axle-mounted electric motor is visible in the most recent spy photo. Given that the Tata Harrier EV has two electric motors—one on the front axle and the other on the rear axle—this indicates that an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option will probably be available.
The Harrier EV will have a similar silhouette and design components to its internal combustion engine (ICE) equivalent. The alloy wheel design, however, will be unique and made just for the EV. It will include a closed-off grille and connected LED lighting elements on the front and back, based on the concept version displayed at the Bharat Mobility Expo. However, the two bumpers’ designs will be changed to make them seem more EV-specific.
Expected Range
Tata has not yet disclosed the details of the Harrier EV’s electric motor and battery pack, but we anticipate that it will be available with a stated range of more than 500 kilometers. It will also have the option of an all-wheel-drive (AWD) drivetrain with two motors, as was previously mentioned.
Expected Features
It is anticipated that the diesel-powered Harrier and the electric Harrier will have identical features. The list of standard features is expected to include a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless phone charging, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, ventilated and powered front seats, a panoramic sunroof with mood lighting, and a gesture-activated powered tailgate.
Up to seven airbags, an all-around camera with a blind spot monitor, electronic stability control (ESC), and a comprehensive array of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, will ensure passenger safety.
Anticipated Cost & Competitors
Prices for the Tata Harrier EV may start at Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom). It is anticipated to go on sale in India by 2025, competing with the Mahindra XUV.e8 as a high-end substitute for the MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric.
