News Synopsis

Tata Motors has officially launched the highly anticipated Harrier EV in India, priced from ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This all-electric SUV retains much of the ICE Harrier's aesthetic appeal while adding EV-exclusive design enhancements and technological upgrades. Bookings for the Harrier EV will open on July 2, 2025.

EV-Specific Design and Exterior Highlights

While the Harrier EV closely mirrors the internal combustion engine (ICE) version in terms of silhouette, Tata has introduced several EV-specific tweaks to distinguish it:

  • A closed-off front grille replaces the conventional one, improving aerodynamics.

  • Redesigned front bumper with vertical slats gives it a modern, cleaner look.

  • Signature connected LED DRLs and LED headlamps are retained, now enhanced with welcome and goodbye animations.

  • The EV sports a distinctive “.ev” badge on the front doors to separate it from the standard variant.

  • New aero-optimised 5-spoke alloy wheels improve efficiency.

  • The rear design continues with connected LED taillights and a refreshed bumper with vertical accents.

  • Available in four color options—Empowered Oxide, Nainital Nocturne, Pristine White, and Pure Grey—plus a Stealth Edition.

Modern Interior with Premium Tech and Finishes

The cabin of the Harrier EV keeps the core dashboard design intact but introduces a refreshing grey-and-white dual-tone theme for a more premium feel. Key highlights include:

  • A new four-spoke steering wheel featuring an illuminated Tata logo.

  • A Samsung Neo QLED infotainment display, offering vibrant visuals and responsive touch feedback.

  • Features like dual-zone climate control, a 10-speaker JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos 5.1, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

  • Powered and ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and premium surface finishes enhance cabin comfort.

Advanced Features and Technology

The Harrier EV is packed with next-generation features designed for both convenience and off-road performance:

  • ‘Summon Mode’, a remote-controlled parking assist system, lets users move the vehicle forward or backward using just the key fob—ideal for tight parking spaces.

  • A 360-degree camera system with Transparent Mode helps navigate tricky off-road situations.

  • Six terrain response modes: Normal, Mud Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, Snow/Grass, and Custom.

  • Off-road assist offers cruise control-like functionality for uneven and challenging terrains.

Top Safety with Level 2 ADAS

Tata Motors has integrated cutting-edge safety tech into the Harrier EV. Safety features include:

  • Seven airbags, ESC, ABS with EBD, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and front/rear parking sensors.
