Key Background
Tata Motors has finally unveiled its highly anticipated electric SUV, the Harrier.ev, which is expected to deliver a mix of power, practicality, and luxury features. Based on the revised acti.ev+ platform, the Harrier.ev is a quantum leap in Tata’s EV story, bringing together the body-on-frame underpinnings of the initial Harrier and new-age electric technology.
One of the best aspects of the Harrier.ev is its performance. The AWD dual-motor version has as much as 308 BHP and 504 Nm of torque, which lets the car go from 0 to 100 km/h in only 6.3 seconds. The car has a top speed of 180 km/h, which makes it one of the quickest electric SUVs in its class. At a kerb weight of about 1,900 kg, it’s a weighty car—no surprise given the bigger battery pack and second motor arrangement. Fully loaded with people and luggage, it might tip 2 tonnes.
Battery options are 65 kWh and 75 kWh LiFePO₄ (LFP) packs. These enable a stated MIDC range of as much as 627 km, though on-road results in practice are likely to be nearer 480–505 km. Fast charging capability enables a 20–80% fill-up in only 25 minutes using a 120 kW DC charger, with a full home charge (10–100%) requiring approximately 10.7 hours.
The interior too is stunning with a vibrant 14.5-inch Samsung Neo QLED touchscreen, digital IRVM, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, and JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos. Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and OTA updates are available in the SUV.
Capable of handling city streets and challenging terrain, the Harrier.ev offers drive modes such as rock crawl, AWD torque vectoring, and off-road cruise control. It is set to compete with electric SUVs from Mahindra, Hyundai, and Maruti soon. Tata’s move into premium EV space boldly demonstrates its intent to be at the forefront of the transforming Indian EV space.
