Eyeing the Tata Harrier EV? Here's what it gets over the Mahindra XEV 9e
The Tata Harrier EV was revealed in near-production guise earlier this year, showing a design that closely follows the Harrier ICE model. Tata Motors has officially introduced its most advanced electric SUV to date—the Tata Harrier EV, with an introductory price tag of ₹ 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Built on the brand's plus EV architecture, this new flagship not only brings a futuristic design and strong performance credentials but also stakes a claim as a segment leader in innovation. Positioned directly against Mahindra's upcoming electric SUV coupe, the XEV 9e, the Harrier EV manages to pack in several key advantages that could tip the scales in its favor. 1 Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive System For the first time in Tata's EV portfolio, the Harrier EV gets a dual-motor setup delivering all-wheel drive capability. The system produces a combined output of 396 PS, with 158 PS from the front motor and 238 PS from the rear, resulting in a total torque of 504 Nm. This not only boosts performance but also adds surefootedness on varying road surfaces. In comparison, the Mahindra XEV 9e is currently offered only with rear-wheel drive, which may limit traction and off-road versatility. 3 Six Terrain Modes for Enhanced Adaptability The Harrier EV offers its drivers six different terrain modes: Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Sand, and an option to create one's own setting. That makes the SUV capable of traversing a large variety of road conditions, from city streets to light trails. Conversely, the Mahindra XEV 9e has its package only to three driving modes—Range, Everyday, and Race—optimized more towards performance and economy, with no presetting for specific terrain. 4 Larger 14.5-inch QLED Infotainment Screen The Harrier EV's cabin features a centrally positioned, 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen, designed in association with Samsung. The screen is visually crisp, big, and neatly mounted on the dashboard, contributing to both form and functionality. The Mahindra XEV 9e does have a more futuristic triple-screen configuration, featuring a co-passenger display, but its middle screen is a smaller 12.3 inches.

Work on 5-km tunnel between Vasant Kunj, Mahipalpur to begin next year: Delhi CM
A five-km-long tunnel from Shiv Murti–Mahipalpur (Dwarka Expressway) to Nelson Mandela Road (Vasant Kunj) in southwest Delhi is among six projects worth Rs 24,000 crore approved by the Central government, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Sunday. Work on the tunnel is likely to begin early next year. CM Gupta stated that the projects were approved in a meeting with Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari for streamlining traffic and reducing pollution in the city. She said the proposed tunnel between Mahipalpur and Vasant Kunj will reduce congestion on multiple routes and create a signal-free corridor to airport. It will be constructed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at an estimated cost of Rs 3,500 crore, she said. The Chief Minister said that all technical and formal requirements for the project are in their final stages, and work is expected to commence early next year. According to CM Rekha Gupta, the tunnel will comprise two underground tubes — one each for traffic in both directions. Each tube will have three lanes, making a total of six lanes available for smooth traffic movement. The tunnel will also be equipped with modern facilities such as electro-mechanical systems, ventilation, fire safety, CCTV surveillance, control rooms, emergency exits, and cross-passages, she said. She said the tunnel will reduce traffic in Dhaula Kuan, Rao Tula Ram Marg, and National Highway 48 (NH-48) area in Mahipalpur. The tunnel will offer a direct, signal-free alternative route between South Delhi and Dwarka/Gurugram, which is expected to help eliminate traffic jams on NH-48, especially during peak hours, she said. CM Rekha Gupta also noted that in the future, this tunnel will serve as a key connector between Central/East Delhi and multiple expressways and highways, including the Delhi Expressway (NE-5), NH-44, NH-10, Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH-48), and Delhi-Dehradun Expressway (NH-709B) via the Urban Extension Road (UER) and Dwarka Expressway. Calling this project, the 'foundation for the Delhi of the future", CM Rekha Gupta said that the tunnel will give a new direction to Delhi's infrastructure and bring relief to millions of citizens. She added: "We are committed to making Delhi congestion-free and clean. The construction of this tunnel will reduce the burden on roads, eliminate traffic signals, and save fuel."

Tata Harrier EV caught your attention? Here's what it gets over Mahindra XEV 9e
Tata Motors has launched its newest most sophisticated electric SUV to date—the Tata Harrier EV at an introductory price of ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Designed on the company's plus EV architecture, this new flagship not only offers a future-age design and robust performance credentials but also claims to be a segment leader in terms of innovation. Positioned directly against Mahindra's upcoming electric SUV coupe, the XEV 9e, the Harrier EV manages to pack in several key advantages that could tip the scales in its favor. ₹ 21.9 - 30.5 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 21.49 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 21 - 30 Lakhs ₹ 13 Lakhs Onwards ₹ 25 - 30 Lakhs ₹ 17.49 - 22.24 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon For the very first time in Tata's EV portfolio, Harrier EV arrives with a dual motor arrangement bringing all-wheel-drive capabilities on board. The former outputs a cumulative figure of 396 PS with the front motor churning out 158 PS with the rear motor putting out 238 PS. This results in a maximum torque figure of 504 Nm, which does not only increase the performance number but also gives surefootedness on variegated road surfaces. (Also read: Tata Harrier EV launched at ₹21.49 lakh, brings AWD capabilities. Check details) Parking in small parking spaces is easier with the Harrier EV's Summon Mode, which allows one to drive the car forward or in reverse at slow speeds with the key fob. The feature is ideal for small garages or packed parking lots. While both the Harrier EV and XEV 9e have auto park assist, only Tata's electric SUV carries this simple-to-use manual remote maneuvering feature. The Harrier EV provides its users six terrain modes: Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Sand, and the ability to make one's own setting. That puts the SUV in a position to take on a wide range of road types, from urban roads to light trails. (Also read: Tata Harrier EV base variant features revealed. Check them out) On the other hand, the Mahindra XEV 9e has its package to only three driving modes—Range, Everyday, and Race—tuned more towards performance and economy with no presetting for particular terrain. The Harrier EV's interior boasts a centrally located, 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen, co-designed with Samsung. The screen is aesthetically sharp, large, and well mounted on the dashboard, adding to both form and function. The Mahindra XEV 9e does boast a more futuristic triple-screen arrangement, including a co-passenger display, but with a smaller middle screen at 12.3 inches. A standout feature of the Harrier EV is the digital inside rearview mirror (IRVM) that takes a live feed from a rear-mounted camera mounted on the sharkfin antenna. The result is an improved, obstructed-free view of the back. Better still, the IRVM has a dashcam built into it, and provides real-time video recording for added security. The XEV 9e features just a standard auto-dimming IRVM, not this dual-purpose feature.
