Tata Motors is about to launch its much-anticipated Harrier EV in India, promising a bold look, quad-wheel drive, and an array of premium features.
The Harrier EV, first revealed at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo in January, drew a lot of attention and stood out among many impressive EVs on display. As one of Tata’s most anticipated electric cars, it is expected to be one of the best electric vehicles in their EV lineup with a lot of advanced features.
The EV is built on the ACTi. EV+ architecture and is expected to have a real-world range of 500 km per charge, a quad-wheel-drive (QWD) dual-motor setup on the rear and at the front, premium features, and rival the Mahindra XEV 9e.
Performance and the Range
The Harrier EV will get a quad-wheel-drive (QWD) dual-motor setup at the rear and front, providing a peak torque of 500 Nm, and the dual-motor setup might be powered by a 75 kWh lithium-ion battery, allowing for quick charging and reduced downtime, says sources.
The new electric SUV is likely to share several features and systems with the Curvv EV, which debuted last year, as well as clear parallels with the Harrier ICE. According to Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer at Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, the SUV is being built to have a real-world range of roughly 500 km on a single charge, easing concerns about range during long journeys. However, exact battery specifications have yet to be released.
Design & Features
The upcoming Harrier EV gets a new look that retains its rugged stance, and the grille and bumpers are completely altered, retaining the DRLs and headlight similar to those on the ICE model. It also gets a cleaner look with sharper lines and a more contemporary profile, a turbine-style alloy wheel which enhances aerodynamics and offers a futuristic touch. It is built on a monocoque chassis based on Land Rover’s D8-based OMEGA platform and benefits from Tata’s collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover. Tata Harrier EV is also expected to have features like V2L and V2V functions and a lot more.
Speaking on the project, Vivek Srivatsa stated that “India’s charging infrastructure is still changing, and as electric vehicle usage increases, so will charging options, with private players playing a vital role in ensuring a sustainable future”. Tata Motors is helping India’s EV ecosystem with the Open Collaboration 2.0 program, which intends to grow the number of charging stations to 4 lakh by 2027, in collaboration with charge point operators and oil trading businesses.
The update is expected to improve the ease of charging long-range EVs such as the Harrier EV. Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, a Tata Motors division, has sold more than 2 lakh EVs since the Nexon EV launched in 2020. Tata’s impressive electric vehicle lineup will be expanded with the Harrier EV and Sierra EV, which will join the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv EV.
