Tata Harrier EV launch In India: The Harrier EV is not a completely new model but is based on the same Omega platform used by the petrol/diesel Harrier.
Tata Motors is all set to officially launch its Harrier EV on 3 June 2025.
This comes four months after the electric Harrier was first shown in production form at the 2025 Auto Expo in January. Since then, Tata has shared regular teaser images and videos.
The Indian automaker is gearing up to launch its much-awaited Harrier EV on June 3.
Tata Harrier EV: Here's What To Expect
Design
The Harrier EV looks very much like the diesel version of the Harrier facelift. It keeps the signature design with vertically stacked LED headlights under sharp DRLs, connected by a full-width light bar. The side profile is familiar too, with bold wheel arches and a rising window line that blends into a blacked-out D-pillar, giving the roof a floating appearance.
At the back, the Harrier EV features a connected light bar and vertical fog lamps on the bumper. A sealed-off upper grille and a chrome-trimmed front bumper with a radar sensor make it clear this is an electric car. Tata has also added a '.EV' badge on the front doors and 'HARRIER.EV' lettering on the tailgate. The wheels have an aero-efficient serrated turbine blade design, expected in 17 to 19 inches.
Features
Inside, the Harrier EV shares many features with the petrol/diesel Harrier. Tata teased the interior, showing a two-tone dashboard, touch controls for the climate system, and the signature floating touchscreen. The digital instrument cluster and four-spoke steering wheel are carried over, too.
Other feature highlights include a rotary dial to switch terrain modes, an electronic parking brake, and a panoramic sunroof. But the Harrier EV adds new terrain modes, connected car technology, and over-the-air updates.
Unlike some electric vehicles that are designed from scratch, the Harrier EV is based on the same Omega platform as the diesel Harrier. However, Tata has heavily modified it for electric power, calling the updated structure Acti.ev (Gen 2) architecture. This includes changes to the chassis and a redesigned floor to house the battery safely and efficiently.
Power and Range
One big advantage of going electric is the ability to offer all-wheel drive (AWD) without complex and costly mechanical changes. While adding AWD to the diesel Harrier would have been tough, the EV version simply adds a motor at the rear axle for extra power.
As per Autocar, Vivek Srivatsa, Tata's chief commercial officer for passenger electric vehicles, said that the electric motors boost performance and that the Harrier EV will have a peak torque of 500Nm. Tata expects the electric SUV to offer a driving range of around 500 kilometres on a single charge.
