Battery, Range & Charging:
The Tata Harrier EV comes with two battery options: a 65 kWh pack for the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant and a 75 kWh pack for the all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant. Both are based on Tata’s next-gen acti.ev+ platform, designed specifically for EVs.
What stands out is its impressive claimed range of up to 627 km (MIDC), which translates to a real-world range of about 480 to 505 km, depending on driving style and conditions. That’s more than enough for daily commutes, weekend getaways, or even intercity drives.
Charging is just as convenient. Thanks to 120 kW DC fast charging, the Harrier EV can juice up from 0 to 80% in just 25 minutes perfect for a quick coffee break on a long trip. Additionally, it supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging, letting users power external devices or charge other EVs, adding practical utility on the go.
Performance:
Performance-wise, the Tata Harrier EV is no slouch. The AWD variant is powered by a dual-motor setup that produces 390 bhp and 504 Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds, putting it on par with some performance sedans.
What makes it stand out even more is its multi-terrain capability. With terrain modes like Normal, Wet, and Rough, plus features like hill descent control and Boost mode, the Harrier EV isn’t afraid to leave the tarmac behind. In a real-world demonstration, the SUV tackled Kerala’s rugged “Elephant Rock” incline—an off-road challenge that showcased its torque, balance, and AWD grip.
This is an electric SUV that doesn’t shy away from getting its wheels dirty.
Interior & Tech: Modern, Comfortable, and Connected:
Step inside, and the Tata Harrier EV Car welcomes you with a spacious, premium cabin packed with tech and thoughtful details. The highlight is a 14.5-inch QLED infotainment touchscreen, paired with a 12.25-inch digital instrument cluster that displays navigation, range, ADAS activity, and more.
Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. The cabin features ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and ambient lighting that creates a lounge-like feel. Wireless phone charging, multiple USB-C ports, and OTA (over-the-air) software updates add to its connected, future-ready appeal.
For audiophiles, there’s a JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos, turning every drive into a cinematic experience.
Safety & ADAS: Advanced Protection
Tata has equipped the Tata Harrier EV with a full suite of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These include:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane keep assist
- Blind spot monitoring
- Forward collision warning
- Autonomous emergency braking
- Rear cross traffic alert
These features are supported by 6 to 7 airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, hill hold assist, and a 540° surround-view camera system, which even includes a transparent bonnet view for safe off-roading or tight parking.
Exterior Design:
At first glance, the Tata Harrier EV shares its silhouette with the diesel Harrier, but a closer look reveals an EV-specific personality. The front grille is now sealed for better aerodynamics, flanked by sleek LED DRLs and a full-width light bar. The bumper design is sharper and more futuristic, while the rear gets new connected tail lamps and an illuminated Tata logo.
Aero-optimized wheels and EV badging complete the look, giving the Harrier EV a commanding yet modern road presence.
Market:
With its feature set, performance, and range, the Tata Harrier EV finds itself competing with some serious players in the segment. It’s positioned to take on the likes of:
- Mahindra XUV 9e
- Hyundai Creta EV
- MG ZS EV
- BYD Atto 3
However, it distinguishes itself by offering AWD, a real-world range of over 500 km, off-road readiness, and segment-first utility features like V2L and V2V.
