Tata Harrier EV Review: Tata's New EV King
At the 2023 Auto Expo, Tata Motors took the covers off the Harrier EV Concept, showing off an all-electric version of its flagship 5-seater SUV. Two years later at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo, the production-spec Harrier EV arrived ready to change the Indian EV game once again.
Less tha six months later in June 2025, Tata launched the Harrier EV at a starting price of ₹21.5 lakh for the rear-wheel drive variant, extending to ₹30.3 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-spec dual-motor all-wheel drive model. We drove the Tata Harrier EV and here’s how it performs on the road.
Tata Harrier EV Review – Exterior Highlights
The front of the Harrier EV features a connected LED DRL strip above a body-coloured grille, differing from the open grille of the diesel model. The dynamic indicators are integrated into the DRLs, while the lighting is a complete LED setup with bifunctional projector headlamps, cornering lamps, and fog lamps.
Air vents near the headlights direct airflow for brake and tyre cooling, improving aerodynamics. The front radar and camera help with the Level 2 ADAS setup. The side profile is similar to the standard Harrier, with unique EV badging and 19-inch aero wheels fitted with EV-specific tyres for reduced rolling resistance.
The piano black roof rails and the absence of chrome give the SUV a clean, modern look. The rear is marked by connected LED taillights, a roof spoiler, high-mounted stop lamp, and the Harrier.EV badge finished in black. The hands-free boot offers 502 litres of space, with a front trunk (frunk) providing up to 67 litres in rear-wheel drive models and 35 litres in all-wheel drive variants.
Tata Harrier EV Review – Interior Highlights
The cabin of the Harrier EV is designed for comfort and convenience. At the front, the Harrier EV features a digital rear-view mirror (IRVM) with an integrated camera serving as a rear dashcam. There is also a front camera on the mirror for recording. The 14.5-inch infotainment display supports wireless Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, and offers a range of controls, including climate and vehicle settings.
Both front seats are ventilated, electronically adjustable, and finished in dual-tone upholstery with blue stitching. The dashboard features a textured trim resembling carbon fibre, adding to the premium feel.
The flat-bottom steering wheel adjusts for tilt and telescopic reach and includes illuminated logos and steering-mounted controls. Keyless entry is enabled via an NFC card or smartphone app, with sensors on the B-pillar and inside the cabin.
Touch-sensitive controls sit below the AC vents, and dual-zone climate control is standard. A 360-degree camera system, wireless charging pad, and additional fast-charging ports ensure a connected experience. The off-road mode selector offers settings for snow, mud, sand, rock crawl, and a customisable mode. Three drive modes-Eco, Boost, and Sport-are available, with Boost mode unlocking the full 390 bhp output.
Rear seat occupants benefit from a large panoramic sunroof with an opaque sunshade, manual rear window sunshades, and generous legroom for most users. The seats are comfortable, featuring adjustable headrests with winglets for extra support during long journeys.
A foldable armrest with cup holders is provided in the rear. The centre seat lacks a headrest, but the "boss mode" function allows rear passengers to adjust the front passenger seat electronically. Rear passengers also get access to 65W fast-charging Type-C ports and extra storage spaces.
Tata Harrier EV Review – Battery Packs, Power, and Range
The Harrier EV is available with two battery pack options: 65 kWh and 75 kWh. The rear-wheel drive variant comes with either battery, while the dual-motor all-wheel drive setup is offered only with the larger 75 kWh pack. The top variant produces 390 bhp and 505 Nm of torque, allowing it do do the 0–100 km/h sprint in 6.3 seconds.
The claimed range is up to 538 km for the rear-wheel drive with the 65 kWh battery and up to 622 km for the 75 kWh battery versions. Real-world range is typically above 500 km for the larger battery.
Charging options include a standard 3.3 kW wall charger (approximately 30 hours for a full charge on the 75 kWh battery), a 7.2 kW home charger (12-15 hours), and support for up to 120 kW DC fast charging (20-80% in around 25 minutes).
Tata Harrier EV Review – Driving Impressions – On-Road and Off-Road Performance
On the move, the Harrier EV delivers quick acceleration, particularly in Boost mode, where it is able to access the full power of the dual-motor setup. The Harrier EV feels responsive responsive in both the city and on the highway. The suspension is tuned for comfort, offering a smooth ride but there is some body roll noticeable when you push the Harrier EV into a corner.
The all-wheel drive variant enables genuine off-road capability, with selectable drive modes for various terrains. Braking performance is more than adequate thanks to the disc brakes on all four wheels and the regen. Do note that the initial pedal feel is soft and may require adjustment for some drivers.
