Tata Motors has officially announced the launch timeline for its much-anticipated electric SUV, the Tata Harrier EV. This move further solidifies Tata’s aggressive push in the electric vehicle segment in India. The Harrier EV, first unveiled as a concept during Auto Expo 2023, is now confirmed to hit the roads in early 2025. This marks another major stride in Tata’s EV roadmap, targeting urban and semi-urban electric mobility solutions.
Tata Harrier EV Launch Date and What It Means for the Market
The Tata EV launch timeline puts the Harrier EV on track for release in Q1 2025, with initial production units expected to roll out by February. This positions Tata Motors strategically to take on competitors in the growing electric SUV India segment, such as the Mahindra XUV.e8 and Hyundai’s upcoming EVs. With the Harrier EV, Tata aims to blend the rugged appeal of the original Harrier with a green drivetrain and futuristic tech.
Harrier Electric Specs and Powertrain Breakdown
The Tata Harrier EV will be built on the Gen 2 EV architecture (Sigma platform), a major upgrade over the Ziptron setup used in earlier Tata EVs. This dedicated EV platform allows for a flat floor, better weight distribution, and enhanced cabin space.
Key specifications expected in the Harrier electric specs include:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Battery Pack | 60 – 70 kWh (expected) |
| Driving Range | 500 – 550 km (ARAI) |
| Powertrain | Dual Motor AWD System |
| Fast Charging | 0-80% in under 45 minutes |
| Connectivity | OTA updates, advanced connected tech |
With a dual motor setup, the Harrier EV is set to offer all-wheel drive capability—a first for Tata’s EV lineup. Performance is expected to be robust, with torque delivery optimized for both city driving and off-road conditions.
Tata Harrier EV Features – Tech Meets Toughness
The Harrier EV will come loaded with a fresh suite of technology and premium touches. Expect features like:
- 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Panoramic sunroof
- Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
- 360-degree camera
- Digital instrument cluster
- Ventilated front seats
Tata is also working on integrating V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) charging capabilities, allowing the Harrier EV to act as a portable power bank.
Tata Harrier EV Price Expectations and Market Positioning
While the official price will be revealed closer to launch, industry insiders estimate the Tata Harrier EV price to fall in the ₹28 – ₹32 lakh range (ex-showroom). This pricing will place it just above the Nexon EV and in direct competition with higher-end electric SUV India offerings.
Tata is expected to introduce multiple trims, catering to both tech-focused buyers and those looking for practicality with electric efficiency. Government incentives and tax benefits for EV buyers in various states may also bring down the effective cost significantly.
What Sets the Tata Harrier EV Apart
Beyond specs, the Harrier EV emphasizes sustainability without sacrificing performance. Its robust chassis, premium interiors, and enhanced driving dynamics are geared toward consumers who want both capability and conscience. The Sigma platform also sets the stage for future Tata EV launches in the mid-to-large SUV category.
