May 31, 2025 | New Delhi — Tata Motors has officially teased the highly anticipated Harrier EV on social media, offering a glimpse of what could become the brand’s new electric flagship SUV. Slated to debut on June 3, the Harrier EV will mark a significant leap in Tata’s EV portfolio, becoming its first all-electric SUV to feature an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.
The Teaser: Power Meets Adventure
The teaser video, released across Tata’s social platforms, showcases the Harrier EV standing boldly at the edge of a mountain, hinting at its off-road capabilities and powerful performance credentials. While the full advertisement has yet to drop, the message is clear — the Harrier EV is being positioned as an electric SUV that can go the distance, quite literally.
Harrier EV: What We Know So Far
Design and Exterior Enhancements
Visually, the Harrier EV retains much of the muscular silhouette of its ICE counterpart but adopts key EV-specific updates. These include:
Closed-off front grille for better aerodynamics
Refreshed front and rear bumpers with design cues from the Nexon EV
Aero-optimized alloy wheels
Connected LED DRLs and tail lamps, elevating the futuristic design
Interior and Feature Expectations
While official interior images are yet to surface, industry sources suggest the Harrier EV will feature:
A dual-tone black and white cabin
12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
Panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats
Dual-zone climate control, powered tailgate, and possibly a passenger-side display
One of the standout features teased is the “Summon Mode”, enabling the vehicle to move forward or backward remotely using the key fob — a first for Tata Motors.
Safety and Technology
In keeping with its flagship status, the Harrier EV is expected to boast:
Up to seven airbags
360-degree camera
Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), adding a strong layer of active safety
Platform and Powertrain
Built on Tata’s new acti.ev plus architecture, the Harrier EV will offer:
A dual-motor AWD setup — Tata’s first in an EV
Expected range of over 500 km on a single charge
A possible single-motor front-wheel-drive variant for affordability
Battery capacity details remain under wraps, but the range and AWD setup suggest a large battery pack capable of long-distance travel and rugged terrain tackling.
Price and Rivals
The Tata Harrier EV is expected to be priced around ₹30 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it to take on emerging rivals such as the Mahindra XUV.e9 and BYD Atto 3. With a blend of performance, features, and range, Tata aims to carve out a significant space in India’s premium EV SUV market.
Outlook
The Tata Harrier EV is shaping up to be more than just another electric SUV — it’s poised to become India’s most advanced Tata EV to date. With its combination of high-range capability, AWD drivetrain, modern technology, and Tata’s proven build quality, it may very well set a new benchmark in the segment.
