Updated: Saturday, June 14, 2025, 20:23 [IST]

Tata Motors has ventured into a new segment with the introduction of the Harrier EV, positioning itself against Mahindra's XEV 9e. While the base price of the Harrier EV is competitive, details on the top-spec variant pricing remain undisclosed. Recently, Tata Motors shared some key specifications of the Harrier EV that were previously unknown.

The automotive community in India has been curious about the Harrier EV's total system output since its debut. Although this remains undisclosed, other performance metrics have been revealed. The Harrier EV offers two battery options: 65kWh and 75kWh. Regarding weight, RWD variants can weigh up to 2,235kg, while QWD variants may reach 2,336kg. Compared to its ICE counterpart, the RWD version is approximately 300kg heavier and the QWD version about 400kg heavier.

Performance and Features

Unlike its internal combustion engine (ICE) version, the Harrier EV comes standard with rear-wheel drive (RWD) powered by a single electric motor. Higher variants feature a dual motor setup for each axle, known as Quad Wheel Drive (QWD), enhancing off-road capabilities. The RWD variant delivers 238PS of peak power, while QWD adds a front motor with an additional 158PS, resulting in a total torque output of 504Nm.

The top speed of the Harrier EV is electronically limited to 180km/h. However, it might exceed 200km/h if unleashed, similar to its competitor Mahindra XEV 9e. Despite this impressive speed potential, Tata Motors has not disclosed the total system power output yet.

Advanced Technology and Comfort

The launch of the Harrier EV marks Tata Motors' integration of features never before seen in their vehicles. These include an electronic IRVM with DVR functionality, a Digital Key with NFC key card access, self-parking capabilities with summon mode, and a Samsung NEO QLED infotainment screen. Additionally, underbody cameras provide what Tata describes as a 540-degree view.

Other notable features include electrically controlled Boss Mode seats and enhanced Terrain Response Modes. The vehicle also boasts Ultraglide fully independent suspension at all four corners equipped with frequency-dependent dampers for improved ride quality.

Pricing Strategy

In terms of pricing, the Harrier EV is more affordable than its ICE counterpart starting from the Adventure trim level onwards. The diesel automatic variant of Harrier Adventure is approximately Rs 1 lakh more expensive than the base model of Harrier EV Adventure—a significant achievement for Tata Motors in making electric vehicles accessible.

Tata Motors continues to innovate within India's automotive landscape by offering advanced technology and competitive pricing through their latest electric vehicle offerings like the Harrier EV.
