While the homegrown auto giant has only introduced the base variant of the Harrier EV, it has revealed that the higher trims of the car will come priced aggressively. ANI has quoted Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEM), saying that the price of ₹ 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant of Harrier EV is aggressive and competitive. He also stated that by the end of June, the pricing of the higher trim of the SUV will be announced, and it will be equally aggressive. "I won't be able to come to the price right now, but you'll know it before the end of the month, but I can tell you that for the quad wheel drive Harrier EV price, even there will be equally aggressive and exciting," Srivatsa reportedly said.

And I think it is going to really give a lot of enjoyment to customers in terms of driving.

So while it looks like an SUV, the driving is very easy and very safe, and it can perform like a supercar, you know. So that's a big USP," he added.
