Real-world (C75 test cycle) driving estimates are approximately 420 - 445 km and 480 - 505 km, respectively.

The upcoming QWD variant, which features a dual-motor layout, is expected to offer 313 hp and 504 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 -100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. The model also supports fast charging, adding up to 250 km of range in just 15 minutes.

Off-Road Capabilities

Built on Tata's new acti. EV+ architecture, the Harrier EV includes a host of features aimed at enhancing both urban drivability and off-road performance. The SUV is equipped with Ultra Glide multi-link rear suspension and frequency-selective dampers for added ride comfort.

There are six terrain modes: Normal, Snow, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Rock, and Custom. The vehicle also features Off-road Assist, enabling low-speed cruise control from 5 km/h and a “transparent mode” that displays the terrain beneath the vehicle.

Technology and Features

The Harrier EV RWD comes loaded with technology enhancements:

A 14.5-inch Samsung Neo QLED infotainment touchscreen
10.25-inch fully digital driver display
540° surround-view camera
JBL 10-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system
OTA software updates through Tata’s new TiDAL architecture
V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) power sharing capability
Powered, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, digital rearview mirror, and auto-park assist

Safety and Driver Assistance

Tata Harrier EV RWD Bharat NCAP Test

The Harrier EV has received a 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests, scoring 32/32 for adult protection and 45/49 for child occupant protection. Safety features include:

Strategic Positioning

By the Harrier EV, Tata Motors aims at clients in search of a premium-feature electric SUV with impressive performance and higher safety features at a fairly reasonable price. The launch price range pits it squarely against both ICE midsize SUVs and electric competitors like the BYD Atto 3, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra's soon-to-be-launched XUV.e9 and BE.6.

Tata is also including a lifetime battery warranty with the Harrier EV, the first in Indian EV history, marking long-term faith in its battery technology.
