Tata Harrier.EV Photo Gallery: Inside & Outside!
Tata Motors has launched the Harrier.EV in India, with prices starting at Rs 21.49 lakh. The electric SUV is available in three trims- Adventure, Fearless and Empowered.
Exterior Design
The Harrier.EV stands close to the diesel-powered SUV in its design. When the Harrier made its debut in 2019, it was appreciated by many for its striking design. It was based on the manufacturer's 'Impact 2.0' design philosophy. The vehicle had a tall and upright stance. The EV stands close to the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) SUV with its design. The stance and most of the key cues remain unchanged.
The front fascia of the Harrier EV differentiates itself from that of the ICE version, with a closed-off grille and redesigned bumpers. The diesel version has a Chrome mesh pattern grille. The EV, on the other hand, comes with a closed-off unit which ensures better aerodynamics. The bumper now gets vertical slats, like what you see on the Nexon EV. The headlamp housing and connected LED DRLs resemble those seen on the ICE vehicle, and come with welcome and goodbye animations.
Most of the bodywork, body lines and panels are shared between the two. It, however, gets '.EV' badges at places where the ICE model comes with 'Harrier' badges.
Another key difference is in the wheel design. While the diesel Harrier rides on blacked-out 18-inch alloy wheels, the EV gets dual-tone aero-wheels.
The rear design remains almost identical on both vehicles. Both feature connected LED tail lamps, and a clean tailgate design. The EV has 'Harrier.EV' written on the tailgate, and a redesigned rear bumper.
Interior
Inside, the design remains largely identical on both vehicles. The cabin colourway, however, differs sharply. The EV gets a soothing Grey and White dual-tone colour scheme, while the ICE version has a more dramatic treatment, which depends on the variant chosen.
The Harrier.EV gets a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display. It gives all the necessary driver information. When the 'Off-Road' mode is engaged, it even gives the driver real-time data on torque distribution between the front and rear axles.
The electric SUV also comes with a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen and a JBL premium audio system with performance speakers and Dolby Atmos. It gets wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Other features on the Harrier.EV include a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, wireless charger, ventilated seats, digital IRVM, and dual-zone AC. There is even a 'Summon Mode' which allows the vehicle to be moved using the key fob.
The Harrier is known to be a safe car. The EV stands no different and comes equipped with features like 7 airbags, ABS, EBD, level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and more.
Specifications
While the regular Harrier is underpinned by the Omega Arc, the EV is based on the Ati.EV Plus platform. This is a variation of the second-generation platform used on the Curvv.EV. Unlike the torsion beam setup on the ICE vehicle, this platform features a multi-link rear suspension with Frequency Selective Damping which offers more ride comfort- the Tata speak for this is 'Ultra Glide'.
The vehicle comes equipped with a 75 kWh battery pack which claims to deliver a real-world range of over 500 km per charge.
The dual-motor version of the Harrier.EV delivers 369 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The QWD (Quad Wheel Drive) setup has a rear bias. Engaging the 'Off-Road' mode activates this. The system also features several sub-modes like 'Rock Crawl', 'Mud& Ruts', 'Custom' and 'Sand'.
The vehicle also comes with a 'Transparent Mode' which uses a camera mounted on the undercarriage to capture and project the underlying terrain on the screen. It further uses Augmented Reality (AR) to project the vehicle's wheels onto the terrain.
