The Tata Harrier EV is expected to launch soon in the Indian market with a very capable 75 kWh battery pack as indicated recently. Even though the ICE alternative will maintain a similar design, the upcoming electric SUV is expected to come with better features, higher power, and a much better driving range.
Tata Harrier EV: A New Era for Indian EVs
Automakers in India are increasingly venturing into the electric vehicle market sector with new models in store. Of these auto makers, Tata Motors looks to take the frontrunner position, as it plans several launches of EVs. Of all the Tata models yet to be launch, the Tata Harrier EV is most highly anticipated to be launched early next year 2025. While we still have no news on when we are going to see the Tata Harrier EV being launched into the market, details about the car are slowly coming to light.
Main Features of Tata Harrier EV
Battery and Range
Before, it was rumored that Tata Harrier EV would come with 60 kWh battery pack that would provide the car with the mileage of around 500 km. The TeamBHP report also brings news that not only is the ICE packaged into a mild hybrid system but the Harrier EV will come with a much bigger 75 kWh battery pack. This will, in turn, pave way for an all-wheel-drive system which could be available in the “Empowered” trim boosting the power from a dual motor set up. The Tata Harrier EV range, therefore, is likely to extend over 500 km, thus attracting long distance commuters/travelers.
Design and Styling
Spied tests reveal that the Tata Harrier EV will have a similar shape to the ICE version but with bespoke features for an electric vehicle. LED DRLs will depress the car’s coefficient while a closed-off grille and a lack of traditional vents will highlight the car’s futuristic EV theme. Although headlamp housing is borrowed from ICE design, front and rear bumpers are new.
The back of the SUV will have a light bar that goes across the vehicle from side to side; there’ll also be new 19-inch alloy wheels – employed on other models too – that come with improved aerodynamics.
Powertrain and Performance
Tata Harrier EV will come with a dual motor configuration which will provide it solid power as AWD options will add more control and better grip. This is quite a leap for Tata in the range of EV’s that they provide: power and efficiency are now both covered.
Expected Price and Launch
Its price has not been announced yet but it should fit well into the premium electric SUV classification. Analysts believe that the EV will unveiled for the first time at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, but Tata has not yet reacted to the assertion.
Competition
The Tata Harrier EV will compete with cars like the Mahindra XUV.e9 and the Mahindra XUV 700 EV after the launch of the car.
Conclusion
Tata is all set to bring forth yet another innovation in the form of Tata Harrier EV that will make the Indian electric SUV market stand out due to its technology, mileage, and styling. India can eagerly look forward to the launch of Tata Motors’ Harrier EV, while eagerly in anticipation of this electric car. The Harrier EV’s new features and a relatively affordable price are likely to make a huge impact in Tata Motors’ offerings of EVs.
