Tata Harrier EV

Tata Motors is India's leading manufacturer of electric vehicles. At the Auto Expo 2023, Tata Motors unveiled the EV concepts. Tata will soon launch the Harrier EV, which the company has confirmed will be available in 2024.

In terms of the Harrier EV, the significant proportion of the sheet metal remains the same as the Harrier diesel. The front fascia has undergone a change. Since it doesn't require much air intake, the standard grille has been replaced with a closed one. The horizontal slats in this new closed grille form an intriguing pattern.

Tata Harrier EV: Design

The Harrier EV has undergone significant changes compared to its ICE counterpart and is based on Tata's Gen 2 EV architecture. It gains a new bumper, skid plate, grille, triangular headlamp cluster, and new front-end design. A bottom grille used for air circulation and cooling batteries is formed by numerous vertical slats beneath it. A new bumper with a skid plate, new LED taillamps, Harrier EV lettering, and an LED light bar running across the boot lid frame of the rear profile. On two-tone alloy wheels, the electric SUV is positioned.

In aspects of alloy wheel designs, Tata appears to have taken a lot of cues from Hyundai. The alloy wheels on the Harrier EV look very similar to those on the Hyundai Alcazar. The bottom of the front doors bears a subtle EV badge. At the rear, LED elements inside the taillight have been updated and are now linked by a wide LED bar.

Tata Harrier EV: Interior & Safety Features

There will be some new additions on the inside. The main difference is a larger 10.25" touchscreen system. This screen will most likely replace the current Altroz and Nexon's aging 7" display with an uninspiring user interface. A fully digital instrument cluster, dual-tone upholstery, and a redesigned center console are all standard features. The Tata Harrier EV will also have dual-tone upholstery.

For safety, the Tata Harrier EV is expected to include ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) and a 360-degree camera.

Tata Harrier EV: Specs & Powertrain

Harrier EV will use Gen II EV architecture, which is a generation higher than Gen I, which is currently used in Nexon EV. The battery pack is expected to be in the 60-80 kWh range, with a range of about 500 km on a full charge. Ex-showroom, the Tata Harrier electric price could start around Rs 30 to 35 lakh.
