Bharat Mobility 2025: Tata Harrier EV Unveiled in Production-Ready Form
Tata Motors has officially unveiled the production-ready version of the Tata Harrier EV at the Auto Expo 2025. After debuting as a concept at Auto Expo 2023, the midsize electric SUV is now closer than ever to hitting the roads, with a launch anticipated later this year. Positioned as the latest entrant in the burgeoning midsize electric SUV segment, the Harrier EV promises to deliver advanced features and robust performance.
Tata Harrier EV Design: Evolution from Concept to Reality
The production-ready Tata Harrier EV remains faithful to the concept design while incorporating essential tweaks to enhance efficiency and aesthetics. The electric SUV bears a strong resemblance to its ICE-powered counterpart, with notable changes such as a redesigned grille, a refreshed bumper, and aero-optimized alloy wheels. The EV badging prominently placed on the front door and rear distinguishes it from the diesel-powered version.
Cabin and Features: A Tech-Filled Interior
The Harrier EV’s cabin showcases a seamless blend of futuristic technology and familiar design elements borrowed from the internal combustion engine (ICE) model. Key highlights include:
- 12.3-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment System: Positioned as the centerpiece of the dashboard, offering advanced connectivity options.
- Touch-Based HVAC Panel: A new haptic control panel adds to the modern appeal of the SUV.
- Connected Car Tech: Features such as over-the-air (OTA) updates and cloud-connected telematics elevate the user experience.
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Charging: These innovative capabilities allow users to charge other devices or vehicles using the Harrier EV.
- Terrain Modes: Enhanced drive modes for better adaptability across different road conditions.
Performance and Range: Electric Powertrain Specifications
While Tata Motors has not disclosed the precise specifications of the battery pack, the Harrier EV is expected to deliver a range of approximately 500 km on a single charge. Power will be generated by two electric motors, one on each axle, enabling an all-wheel-drive configuration. This setup promises to enhance traction and driving dynamics, making the SUV a versatile choice for urban and off-road adventures alike.
