Tata Harrier EV 2025: India’s Boldest Electric SUV Yet?

Welcome to the electric age of Tata’s muscle machine—meet the Harrier EV. It’s got the familiar face you know, but under the hood (well, floor now) is a silent powerhouse ready to take on highways, cities, and everything in between.

Let’s just say — this EV doesn’t whisper. It growls, just… in kilowatts.

If you’ve ever thought EVs are boring, the Harrier EV shows up to unplug that idea.

Price Check: Not Just a Fancy Face

With a starting price of ₹21.5 lakh (ex-showroom), or ₹23 lakh-ish on-road, the Harrier EV plants itself confidently in “premium, but not snobbish” territory. It’s not cheap, but then again, it doesn’t do cheap.

You're not just paying for a badge — you're paying for dual motors, terrain modes, massive screens, and a feature set that makes German SUVs quietly nervous

Familiar Harrier Face, With EV Attitude

The design sticks close to the OG Harrier, but now it flexes EV credentials with a sealed grille, glowing Tata logo (because even logos want a glow-up), and sharp LED DRLs that scream

Tech Parade on the Outside

Tata didn’t hold back here — 6 front parking sensors, radar for ADAS, 360-degree camera setup with one camera sneakily mounted on the shark fin antenna (because why not?), and those sexy aero alloy wheels to improve range.

The rear? A sleek connected light bar and bold "Harrier EV" badging. You’ll want people to read it at red lights.

Boot Space: 500 Litres (Kinda…)

Officially, you get 500 litres. But in reality, the spare wheel and chunky battery do eat into your usable space. Weekend trips? Still covered. Shifting flats? Maybe not.

You can still go on a road trip — just leave the big suitcase and your trust issues at home.

The Key Just Leveled Up

The Harrier EV key is no ordinary fob. It unlocks, locks, pops the boot, turns on the headlights and lets you remotely summon the car forward or back. Feeling extra fancy? Just use your smartphone or a digital access card because pulling out an actual key in 2025 is for peasants, right?

Rear Seat

The rear seat is comfy, the floor is almost flat (thanks EV platform!), and there are 65W Type-C ports to charge everything except your emotional battery.

And yes, rear AC vents on the B-pillars. Fancy, functional, and finally

The Screens Deserve an Applause (And a Microfiber Cloth)

* 14.5-inch Samsung Neo Q LED infotainment — bright, crisp, and just begging for smudges

* 10-inch digital cluster — customizable and modern

* Built-in 64GB dashcam — so you can record the guy who scratched your bumper and “didn’t see it”

* Zoom-and-lock rear cam view — because Tata knows you’re that specific

Now in AWD: All-Wheel Drama Mode, Activated

Here’s the twist — the Harrier EV is available in both:

* RWD with 238 PS

* AWD (yes, All-Wheel Drive) with up to 370 PS and 0–100 km/h in 6.3 seconds

* That’s not SUV fast. That’s “I just beat your sports sedan” fast. And with drive modes like Rock Crawl, Mud, Sand, Snow/Grass, and more — it’s not afraid of dirt either.

QWD, a.k.a. Quad Wheel Drive, isn’t just a marketing term here. It’s Tata’s way of saying: “Who said EVs can’t play in the mud?”

Two Battery Packs. One Personality Crisis Choose your adventure:

65 kWh: For urban explorers

75 kWh: For range warriors

With up to 505 km of real-world range, it’s ready for Mumbai to Goa and back. And with 120 kW fast DC charging, coffee breaks double as pit stops.

Home charging on 7.2 kW AC? It takes about 11–12 hours — or as Tata probably says in the brochure: “Charge it while you dream of open roads.”

Also, it gets V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) charging at 3.3 kW. Yes, this SUV can help charge someone else’s car. Show-off much?

Lifetime Battery Promise: The Actual Reality

Here’s where it really pulls away:

* 22 ADAS features, including Auto Park Assist, Reverse Trace, Emergency Braking — the works.

* JBL sound system with 9 speakers + subwoofer — party mode enabled.

* Low-speed pedestrian warning system (called VAZ sound) — so people can hear your silent SUV creeping.

* And the cherry? Lifetime battery warranty for first-time EV buyers. That’s Tata saying:

* “You take the risk. We’ll take care of the battery drama.”

How It Plans to Stare Mahindra Down

* Dual battery options — Mahindra’s specs are still hush-hush

* Lifetime battery warranty, which Mahindra hasn’t promised (yet)

* A more refined interior experience and Tata’s head start in real-world EV tuning thanks to the Nexon and Tiago EV

Tata isn’t just entering the ring. It’s circling Mahindra and saying, “Hope you brought more than design sketches.”

Bookings Start in July — Excuses End Then

* Pre-bookings open early July. Which means you've got just enough time to:

* Cancel that booking for yet another ICE SUV

* Sell your skepticism on OLX

* And prepare to explain to your friends why your new SUV doesn’t need a fuel pump

Final Word

The Tata Harrier EV is big, bold, and doesn’t care if you think EVs are “not there yet.”

It’s not just eco-conscious — it’s ego-conscious.

And for once, you can be that person at the charging station with something cooler than a Nexon EV Max.

So go ahead — charge it, floor it, flaunt it. Just don’t expect it to make any noise while doing it.
