Tata Harrier EV: 5 Key Highlights at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025

Tata Motors has officially showcased the much-anticipated Harrier EV at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. After months of testing and showcasing pre-production concepts at previous expos, the Harrier EV has finally made its grand debut. The fully electric version of Tata’s popular Harrier has garnered significant attention, and while its price has not been announced, we can expect the official pricing details to be released in Q1 2025. Here are the top 5 highlights of the Harrier EV that stand out.

Similar Looks to the ICE Harrier

The Harrier EV retains the same body shell as its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart, which ensures a familiar visual appeal. The primary difference lies in its front end— the nose is completely sealed off, giving it an electric identity. The revised front bumper features vertical slats to aid aerodynamics, while the stylish aerodynamic alloy wheels further enhance its electric persona. Additionally, the Harrier EV sports a unique “Harrier.ev” badge, distinguishing it from the standard Harrier model.

Same DNA with a Modified Platform

While Tata Motors claims that the Harrier EV is based on the Acti.ev architecture, it is essentially built on a modified version of the Land Rover D8 platform, the same platform used for the ICE-powered Harrier. This means that the structural changes to accommodate the battery pack and electric motors are incorporated into the existing platform, maintaining the essence of the Harrier while integrating cutting-edge EV technology. This approach offers a balance between maintaining the Harrier’s legacy and adapting it for electric mobility.

Same Cabin Layout and Premium Features

The cabin of the Harrier EV mirrors that of the traditional Harrier ICE, ensuring a similar experience in terms of space and comfort. However, there are notable upgrades to give the cabin a more premium feel. The seats are upholstered differently, and the dashboard and door trims come with soft-touch panels to enhance the interior's feel. The Harrier EV is equipped with modern features, including a dual 12.3-inch display for infotainment and driver’s instrumentation. Other features include dual-zone climate control, a 6-way powered driver’s seat, a 4-way powered co-driver’s seat, a wireless phone charger, and ventilated front seats for enhanced comfort. For safety, the Harrier EV offers 7 airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to provide a safe and comfortable driving experience.

All-Wheel Drive Powertrain

Though Tata Motors has not fully disclosed the powertrain specifics of the Harrier EV, the vehicle will feature a dual-motor all-wheel drive system. While the exact power figure is yet to be revealed, the vehicle is expected to offer an impressive 500 Nm of peak torque. This should ensure strong performance and handling capabilities, making the Harrier EV a capable electric SUV. The vehicle will also boast an impressive single-charge range of over 500 km, although the exact battery capacity remains undisclosed. These features make the Harrier EV not only an efficient electric vehicle but also a powerful and long-range option for Indian buyers.

Expected Price and Competition

The Tata Harrier EV is expected to be priced around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon its launch, it will compete with other electric SUVs such as the Mahindra XUV9e and XUV7e, which are also expected to be priced similarly. The growing electric vehicle market in India, combined with Tata’s well-established reputation for delivering reliable and feature-packed vehicles, positions the Harrier EV as a strong contender in the electric SUV segment.

Conclusion

The Tata Harrier EV has generated a lot of excitement at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, thanks to its attractive features, familiar design, and strong performance potential. With its all-wheel-drive powertrain, over 500 km range, and premium features, the Harrier EV is set to compete in the fast-growing electric vehicle market in India. The vehicle combines the best aspects of its internal combustion engine predecessor with cutting-edge electric vehicle technology, making it an exciting addition to the market. As Tata Motors prepares for its launch, the Harrier EV is poised to become a popular choice among Indian electric SUV buyers.
