TATA Harrier EV RWD

The Tata Harrier EV marks a bold leap into the electric era while staying true to the rugged DNA of its ICE predecessor. Built on Tata’s acti.ev platform, the Harrier EV fuses distinctive design with cutting-edge EV technology, offering a compelling blend of performance, luxury, and practicality.

Exterior Design – EV Identity with Harrier Heritage

At the front, the Harrier EV boasts a sleek blanked-off grille, flanked by a redesigned bumper with vertical chrome slats, echoing the design language found in Tata’s latest electric lineup like the Punch EV and Nexon.ev. A full-width LED DRL strip and vertically stacked LED Bi-Projector headlights provide a futuristic yet familiar look.

The side profile is characterized by 19-inch turbine-inspired alloy wheels, optimized for aerodynamics. A blacked-out window line contrasts the body-colored panels, creating a bold dual-tone finish. The slightly sloping roofline adds a coupe-like silhouette, while the strong C-pillar reinforces its muscular SUV stance.

At the rear, a connected LED tail lamp and a skid plate featuring vertical slats maintain design continuity. The powered tailgate with gesture control ensures effortless access to the boot, adding to daily convenience.

Interior – EV Elegance with Luxurious Touches

Step inside and you’ll find a cabin that mirrors the ICE Harrier, now elevated with EV-specific enhancements. Wrapped in leatherette upholstery and finished in a refined dual-tone scheme, the interior offers both comfort and class.

The front seats feature power adjustment, heating, and ventilation, while rear passengers benefit from Boss Mode for extra legroom. A massive 14.5-inch Samsung-sourced QLED touchscreen dominates the dashboard, paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster for a clean, tech-forward interface.

Other premium features include:

• Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control
• Wireless Phone Charging
• Fast-charging USB ports (front & rear)
• Cooled Glove Box
• Digital IRVM
• Panoramic Sunroof
• 10-speaker JBL Sound System

Despite the glossy steering wheel being slightly prone to scratches, the cabin remains a refined and connected space, designed to elevate every drive.

The suspension setup features McPherson struts and a multi-link rear system with frequency-dependent dampers, promising a refined ride and confident handling.

Practicality – Big on Space and Road Presence

With dimensions of 4607 mm (L) x 2132 mm (W) x 1740 mm (H) and a wheelbase of 2741 mm, the Harrier EV offers ample cabin space. Its 205 mm ground clearance retains the SUV’s go-anywhere spirit.

Cargo duties are handled by a generous 502-liter boot and an additional 67-liter frunk, enhancing its practicality. The estimated kerb weight ranges between 1900–2000 kg, keeping it grounded without compromising agility.

Color Options

Choose from four sophisticated shades:

• Nainital Nocturne
• Pure Grey

• Empowered Oxide

Rivalry – Taking on Mahindra XEV 9e

In a head-to-head with the upcoming Mahindra XEV 9e, the Harrier EV holds several key advantages:

• AWD capability (vs. RWD-only on XEV 9e)
• Larger, high-quality 14.5-inch QLED infotainment display
• Transparent Mode, Digital IRVM, Summon Mode, and more tech features

However, Mahindra's XEV 9e is a completely ground-up EV, showcasing Mahindra’s innovation in platform design.

The Tata Harrier EV combines the legacy of Tata’s best-selling SUV with forward-thinking EV technology. Whether it’s for urban drives, weekend getaways, or light off-roading, the Harrier EV offers a premium, practical, and powerful electric SUV experience. As India’s first AWD electric SUV, it not only redefines Tata’s electric portfolio but also raises the bar for the entire segment.

Get ready to experience electric—without compromise.
