Tata Motors has taken the wraps off its flagship electric SUV—Harrier.ev—at a starting price of ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on the new acti.ev+ architecture, this homegrown electric SUV combines brute performance with a cabin dripping in tech and luxury. The launch cements Tata’s ambition to dominate the premium electric SUV space.
Powertrain and modes
Under the hood (or rather under the floor), the Harrier.ev gets a 75 kWh battery pack mated to a dual-motor Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) setup. Power figures stand at 158 PS for the front motor and 238 PS at the rear, with a combined torque output of 504 Nm. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds, which, let’s be honest, is more sportscar than SUV.
It also features six terrain modes—Normal, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, Grass/Snow, and a Custom mode—plus a Drift mode and Off-road Assist. Add to that the Transparent Mode and a 540° Clear View camera, and you’ve got yourself an off-roader that can see underneath itself. Yes, really.
Charging and features
Charging won’t keep you waiting long either. With 1.5C fast charging capability, the Harrier.ev can add 250 km of range in just 15 minutes using a 120 kW DC charger. Tata claims a certified range of 622 km, which makes this SUV one of the longest-range EVs in India today.
The Harrier.ev’s interior is just as wild. A 14.53-inch Neo QLED infotainment display by Harman, a 10-speaker JBL Black setup with Dolby Atmos, and ventilated memory seats with Boss Mode scream lounge-on-wheels. Tata’s t.idal SDV platform supports OTA updates, ADAS Level 2, and India’s first in-car UPI payment system—DrivePay.
Not to forget, it gets e-Valet with Autonomous Parking, Summon Mode, and Reverse Assist. There’s even Vehicle-to-Vehicle (5 kVA) and Vehicle-to-Load (3.3 kVA) capabilities, meaning it can juice up another EV or power your campsite if needed.
How it stacks up
The Tata Harrier.ev stacks up well against Mahindra’s successful XEV.9e which starts at Rs. 21.90 lakh. In terms of range and features, it also goes head to head with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6.
Our Thoughts
The Harrier.ev feels like Tata just rage-quit the boring EV game and pressed CTRL+ALT+REBOOT. It’s techy, torquey, and totally unapologetic about being an electric SUV that wants to be everything—fast, luxurious, off-road-capable, and future-proof. If it lives up to all that on the road, this might just be the “everything everywhere all at once” moment for Indian EVs.
