Tata Motors has made a thunderous entry into the high-performance electric SUV segment with its all-new Harrier EV, which has now earned the title of the fastest accelerating made-in-India SUV. With an eye-popping 0–100 km/h sprint time of just 6.3 seconds, the Harrier EV signals a new era for domestically produced electric vehicles.

A Leap Forward in EV Performance

The Harrier EV marks Tata’s boldest move yet in the EV space. It is the company’s first electric SUV equipped with dual electric motors, offering an all-wheel-drive (AWD) configuration and a “Boost Mode” that unleashes exhilarating acceleration. For an SUV this size and price point, these performance numbers are unprecedented in the Indian market.

Key Features of the Harrier EV:

  • Twin electric motors with AWD

  • Boost Mode for instant torque and acceleration

  • 0–100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds

  • Available with 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery packs

  • Starting price: ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom)

  • Automatic parking and Auto Summon functionality

  • Digital IRVM with an integrated dashcam

Made in India, Engineered to Lead

What truly sets the Harrier EV apart is its origin. Unlike performance luxury cars that are either imported or assembled in India with mostly foreign components, the Harrier EV is designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in India. Most of its components are sourced from Indian suppliers, reinforcing Tata’s commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat in the automobile industry.

While cars like the BMW M340i (0–100 km/h in 4.4 seconds) are technically faster and made in India under local assembly, their heavy reliance on imported parts and high pricing (₹75.9 lakh) make the Harrier EV stand out in the mass market EV segment.

Fastest EVs vs. Fastest Made-in-India Vehicles

Globally, supercars like the Porsche Taycan Turbo (2.7 seconds), Lamborghini Revuelto (2.8 seconds), and Mercedes-AMG GT occupy the top performance spots in India—but these cost anywhere between ₹2 crore to ₹9 crore.

In contrast, the Harrier EV delivers segment-leading acceleration without the supercar price tag, and with full Indian manufacturing credentials. It becomes a performance icon in the sub-₹25 lakh category.

Rivals Left in the Dust

Within the Indian electric SUV space, the Harrier EV is already miles ahead. Here’s how it compares with rivals:

  • Mahindra BE 6 – 0–100 km/h in 6.7 seconds

  • Mahindra XUV.e9 – 6.8 seconds

  • Hyundai Creta EV – 7.9 seconds

The Harrier EV’s acceleration advantage makes it a formidable alternative in a growing and highly competitive segment.

Tata’s Ongoing Customer-Centric Push

Tata Motors is also offering significant monsoon discounts and check-up camps across its popular ICE and EV portfolios. The Altroz facelift now comes with offers up to ₹1.4 lakh. The Harrier, Punch, and Curvv also receive attractive price cuts, making this an opportune time for buyers to consider a new Tata vehicle.

A Defining Moment for Indian EVs

The Harrier EV represents more than just speed. It’s a milestone for Indian engineering, a signal that performance and practicality can coexist in an affordable, locally built package. Tata Motors, already a leader in India’s EV push, has now created a benchmark others will strive to reach.
