Table of Contents
Introduction:
Tata Motors has taken a giant leap in the electric vehicle space with the debut of the Tata Harrier.ev, hailed as India’s most advanced and capable electric SUV. Combining rugged SUV DNA with next-gen electric powertrain technology, the Harrier.ev stands as a symbol of Tata’s commitment to sustainable mobility, premium features, and cutting-edge innovation. With this launch, Tata not only consolidates its lead in the EV space but also raises the bar for all upcoming electric SUVs in India.
Bold New Design Inspired by the Future
The Tata Harrier.ev carries forward the iconic stance of the ICE Harrier but takes a bold new direction in design. The electric version features a futuristic front fascia with a full-width LED light bar, closed-off grille, and aerodynamic elements. Distinctive EV-specific alloy wheels, redesigned bumpers, and subtle blue accents enhance its eco-friendly yet premium appeal.
The SUV retains its muscular proportions, but with more refined surfaces and design touches inspired by the brand’s “Digital Impact 2.0” philosophy. The coupe-like roofline, high ground clearance, and sharp LED tail lights lend the Harrier.ev a commanding road presence.

Born Electric Architecture and AWD Capability
Unlike Tata’s earlier EVs built on modified ICE platforms, the Harrier.ev is based on the Gen 2 EV architecture, a dedicated skateboard platform that enables better battery packaging, safety, and cabin space. The EV is underpinned by Tata’s ACTI.EV (Advanced Connected Tech-Intelligent Electric Vehicle) architecture, making it more modular, connected, and future-proof.
One of the biggest highlights is the availability of All-Wheel Drive (AWD) — a first for Tata’s EV lineup. This allows the Harrier.ev to confidently tackle rough terrains, monsoon roads, and even light off-roading, a crucial feature for Indian driving conditions.
Long-Range Battery and Fast Charging
Tata hasn’t disclosed official ARAI-certified range figures yet, but the Harrier.ev is expected to deliver over 500 km of real-world range on a full charge. The electric SUV is equipped with a high-density battery pack (likely upwards of 60 kWh), and dual-motor AWD configuration.
It supports DC fast charging, allowing the battery to juice up from 10–80% in just around 30 minutes. The inclusion of V2L (Vehicle to Load) and V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) charging capabilities adds to its utility — a segment-first feature in India.
Next-Gen Connected Tech and Premium Interior
Inside, the Tata Harrier.ev is all about technology and comfort. The cabin sports a clean, minimalist dashboard with soft-touch materials, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof.
Key interior highlights include:
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- 10.25-inch digital driver display
- Advanced voice assistant with natural language processing
- 360-degree camera with blind spot detection
- JBL sound system
- Connected car tech with OTA (Over-The-Air) updates
The SUV also gets ADAS Level 2 features, including lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition, making it one of the safest EVs on Indian roads.
Driving Experience and Performance
Thanks to the dual-motor setup and instant torque delivery, the Harrier.ev offers a spirited and smooth driving experience. With multiple drive modes, including Eco, City, and Sport, the EV caters to diverse driving preferences.
Tata is also focusing on dynamic tuning for Indian roads — expect a compliant suspension, great high-speed stability, and impressive NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels thanks to the silent electric powertrain.
