Tata Motors is launching its biggest electric SUV yet tomorrow! It’s called the Harrier EV, and while it shares a name (and most of its looks) with the gas-powered Harrier, this one’s fully electric, AWD, and built to go far, over 500 km, according to Tata’s internal tests.
The company first showed the production model at Auto Expo 2025. Now it’s headed to showrooms with a few visual updates and a completely new drivetrain.
If you’ve seen the gas-powered Harrier, you’ve seen 90 percent of the EV version. Tata didn’t overhaul the design. Instead, it kept the basic structure and added some EV cues:
It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. The Harrier EV looks like a regular SUV, just cleaner.
Inside, the Harrier EV sticks to the layout of the standard Harrier, which means a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, and four-spoke steering wheel all come standard.
The EV adds a few extras:
If you’ve driven a newer Tata SUV, this will feel right at home, with just enough added to make it feel current.
The Harrier EV uses Tata’s Acti.ev platform, which is a modified version of the older Omega architecture. It gets a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with up to 500Nm of torque.
Battery specs are still under wraps, but Tata says the SUV delivers over 500 kilometers (310+ miles) of real-world range on its in-house C75 cycle. No word yet on fast charging speeds or battery capacity.
In the ₹24–30 lakh (roughly $29,000–$36,000 USD) range, the Harrier EV is stepping into a growing field of electric SUVs in India. Its main competitors:
Possibly even entry-level variants of the BYD Atto 3
MG ZS EV (top-spec variants)
Hyundai Kona Electric
Mahindra XUV400 EL Pro
Upcoming Mahindra BE models
If the numbers hold up, the Harrier EV will be Tata’s first real contender in the premium electric SUV space. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s solid. AWD, decent tech, and 500+ km of range in a package Indian buyers already know.
We’ll know more, including full specs and trim details, when the car officially launches tomorrow. For now, it looks like Tata is playing to its strengths: don’t overpromise, just deliver something that works.
