Tata Motors Unveils Production Spec Harrier.ev At Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Tata Motors, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, showcased the much-awaited Harrier.ev. The production-spec version of the Harrier EV looks heavily inspired by the ICE version. Tata has been testing the Harrier.ev for quite some time, and the official launch of the EV is likely to happen in the next couple of months.
The reason the Harrier.ev looks very similar to the ICE version is that it is based on the diesel version of the Harrier. The Tata Harrier.ev is not an all-new EV like the Curvv.ev or Punch.ev. It uses the same platform as its ICE counterpart, but the Land Rover-derived Omega platform has been heavily modified for electrification. While the Harrier.ev is inspired by the ICE version, there are a few EV-specific changes. The SUV gets a closed front grille with tweaked bumpers.
The welcome bar at the front, dual-function LED DRLs, and split headlamps remain the same as the regular Harrier. The front and rear bumpers of the Harrier.ev have been redesigned to give it a distinctive look. Like many other elements, the alloy wheels on the Harrier.ev have also been changed. It now gets alloy wheels with aero inserts. There are Harrier.ev badges on the front doors and tailgate.
Similar to the facelifted version of the Harrier, the electric SUV also gets LED tail lamps with connected LED bars. On the inside, the Harrier.ev features a design similar to the ICE version. It comes equipped with a large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, electrically adjustable front seats, Tata’s two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo, leatherette upholstery, and more.
The upcoming Tata Harrier.ev will be the first electric vehicle from the manufacturer to feature an AWD system. The Land Rover-derived Omega platform was not suitable for AWD integration in the ICE version. However, electrification has finally allowed Tata Motors to incorporate this feature. The AWD version of the SUV will have one electric motor on the front axle and another on the rear. A 2WD or single-motor variant of the Harrier.ev might also be available in the market.
Tata is yet to reveal the battery pack size for the Harrier.ev. However, as per reports, it is likely to be powered by a 75 kWh battery pack, which is capable of offering the Harrier.ev a driving range of over 500 km.
The electric motor on the Harrier.ev can generate around 500 Nm of peak torque. Although Tata has not confirmed this, it is assumed that they will offer a smaller battery pack option to help keep the entry-level price of the eSUV competitive.
When launched, the Tata Harrier.ev will compete with the likes of the Mahindra BE.06, the recently launched Hyundai Creta Electric, and the upcoming Maruti eVitara. Tata is expected to price the Harrier.ev competitively, with an estimated range of ₹25 lakh to ₹30 lakh.
In addition to the Harrier.ev, Tata will also launch electric versions of the Safari and Sierra later this year. The Tata Sierra was showcased at the Auto Expo earlier this year. The official launch of the Harrier.ev is expected to happen in the first half of 2025, with deliveries starting soon after.
