Tata Motors is gearing up to shake the Indian electric vehicle (EV) market with the launch of its highly anticipated Tata Harrier EV on June 3, 2025, at 2 PM IST. With increasing demand for robust, feature-rich electric SUVs, Tata is all set to position the Harrier EV as its new flagship offering in the EV space.
Let’s take a detailed look at what the Harrier EV has to offer—from design and features to performance, range, and expected price.
A Bold Step Forward for Tata Motors
Tata Motors has already made a strong mark in the Indian EV market with the Nexon EV and Punch EV. Now, with the Harrier EV, the company is aiming to elevate the segment by introducing a premium all-electric SUV with serious performance credentials and modern tech.
Based on Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture (Acti.ev), the Harrier EV has been engineered from the ground up as an electric SUV rather than just a conversion from its ICE sibling. This results in better space management, optimized weight distribution, and improved battery placement for enhanced safety.
Design and Styling: Familiar Yet Futuristic
In terms of design, the Tata Harrier EV carries forward the strong, rugged appeal of the standard Harrier but adds a futuristic EV twist. Expect signature LED DRLs, a closed-off grille with a sleek light bar, new alloy wheels, and a revamped rear profile. The design retains its muscular stance while incorporating EV-centric elements that signal innovation and sustainability.
Inside, the cabin is expected to be luxurious and tech-laden. Tata is likely to offer a dual-tone interior, premium upholstery, and ample legroom and boot space, thanks to the dedicated EV platform.
Performance: AWD and Torque Galore
What truly sets the Harrier EV apart from its rivals is the dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive (AWD) capability. This is a first for a Tata EV and places the Harrier EV in a new league in terms of off-road and high-performance driving.
The SUV is expected to deliver over 500 Nm of torque, which should translate to a thrilling driving experience. Tata has already teased the Harrier EV’s off-roading capabilities in recent test videos, where the SUV can be seen climbing steep terrains like Kerala’s Elephant Rock with ease.
Range and Charging: Over 500 km Claimed
Tata claims that the Harrier EV will offer a range of more than 500 km on a single charge, putting it in direct competition with rivals like the Mahindra XUV.e8 and BYD Seal U.
While official battery specs are yet to be disclosed, the vehicle is likely to feature a battery pack of 60-70 kWh, along with fast-charging support that could juice up the battery from 10% to 80% in under 45 minutes.
This range makes the Harrier EV suitable for both urban and highway usage, reducing range anxiety significantly for long-distance travelers.
Tech & Features: Loaded to the Gills
Tata isn’t holding back when it comes to equipping the Harrier EV with premium features. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s expected:
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster
- Dual-zone climate control
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated front seats
- Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
- 360-degree camera
- Connected car tech with over-the-air (OTA) updates
With these additions, the Harrier EV is shaping up to be one of the most feature-rich electric SUVs in its segment.
Safety: Top-notch Protection
Safety has always been a strong point for Tata Motors. The Harrier EV is expected to carry over the same philosophy, offering six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, hill hold/descent control, and Level 2 ADAS features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking.
Combined with the added structural benefits of the Acti.ev platform, the Harrier EV is likely to score high in safety ratings.
Expected Price and Competition
The Tata Harrier EV is expected to be priced between ₹24 lakh to ₹30 lakh (ex-showroom). While this positions it as a premium offering, the feature set and performance justify the price tag.
In terms of competition, the Harrier EV will go head-to-head with:
- Mahindra XUV.e8 (upcoming)
- Hyundai Kona Electric
- BYD Atto 3
- MG ZS EV
Tata’s strong dealership network, lower cost of ownership, and brand trust may give the Harrier EV a solid edge in this growing segment.
Launch Event and Availability
The official launch will be streamed live at 2 PM on June 3, 2025, via Tata.ev’s Instagram page and other digital platforms. Bookings are likely to open immediately after the launch, with deliveries expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025
