Tata Motors is all set to launch its much-awaited Harrier EV in March 2025, marking an important milestone in the company’s electric vehicle journey. Following its initial debut at the 2023 Auto Expo and a subsequent appearance at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in 2024, the Harrier EV is now ready to join Tata’s expanding EV lineup, which includes the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv EV. With the addition of the Harrier EV, Tata will officially offer six electric vehicles in its portfolio, strengthening its position as the largest EV manufacturer in the country.
Powertrain Options and Performance
The Harrier EV will bring an exciting mix of powertrain configurations to cater to diverse customer preferences. Tata Motors has confirmed that the Harrier EV will be available with both single and dual motor setups, offering options for front-wheel-drive (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD).
The dual motor, all-wheel-drive variant will be the first of its kind in Tata’s electric vehicle lineup, enhancing the Harrier EV’s performance and driving dynamics. This makes the Harrier EV a strong contender in the growing electric SUV segment, competing with other upcoming models like the Mahindra XEV 9e.
Features and Interior
In terms of features, the Harrier EV is expected to closely resemble its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart, retaining the same cabin layout while incorporating advanced technology and luxury elements. The SUV will be equipped with a 12.3-inch Harman infotainment system, featuring wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, providing a seamless connectivity experience.
Other expected features include a panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, a multifunctional steering wheel with the illuminated Tata insignia, and a premium 10-speaker audio system.
The Harrier EV will also come with a 10.25-inch driver’s console that integrates a navigation system, dual-zone climate control, and voice command assistance like Alexa. Additionally, charging options will include a wireless phone charger and a Type-C fast charger, ensuring convenience for users on the go.
Safety Features
Safety is a key priority for Tata Motors, and the Harrier EV will come loaded with a comprehensive suite of safety features. The EV will include Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which will provide features such as lane-keeping assist, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and forward and rear collision warnings.
To further enhance occupant safety, the Harrier EV will be equipped with seven airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system, an electronic stability program, and an emergency call or breakdown service.
With its advanced features, powerful performance options, and an emphasis on safety, the Tata Harrier EV is poised to make a significant impact in the electric SUV market. Tata Motors’ continued investment in EV technology and innovation ensures that the Harrier EV will offer a compelling option for eco-conscious customers looking for a high-performance, feature-rich electric vehicle.
As it prepares for its March 2025 debut, all eyes will be on the Harrier EV as it goes head-to-head with other electric vehicles like the Mahindra XEV 9e in what is becoming a highly competitive segment.
