Tata Harrier.ev first drive review: Can it be your first EV?
Tata marks the brand's return to all-wheel-drive capability after several years. Check Offers Tata's approach to its new model lineup is clear — it's aiming to challenge every car segment with a diverse range of offerings, building almost everything its engineers can conceive. The Harrier, which gained steady traction after its launch, is now a headache for its rivals with its huge popularity in the urban markets. Tata's next move wasn't really a surprise — an electrified version of the car, in tune with the evolving buyers' needs. Introduced at an entry-level pricing of ₹ 21.49 Lakh, aims to cater to buyers willing to spend a decent amount on an electric SUV. But is it really a car worth considering, with competition aplenty? Read on. The is more than just an electric adaptation of the ICE Harrier — it represents a significant step up in Tata's SUV lineup. Tata has gone all out to position this as a standout product, and a prime example of that effort is the much-talked-about Quad-Wheel-Drive QWD system. It marks the brand's return to all-wheel-drive capability after several years, made possible by a dual-motor setup that significantly enhances performance. aims to cater to buyers willing to spend a decent amount on an electric SUV. In fact, Tata is positioning the as a performance SUV, and after spending an entire day behind the wheel, it's clear that this claim goes beyond marketing hype. First things first, on the outside, you might mistake it for a regular Harrier, until you notice its exclusive paint theme, a different license plate and other bits unique to this model. At the front, the Harrier EV features a redesigned, closed-off grille with sleek horizontal strakes, complemented by a reworked bumper and a revised air intake design. Moving to the sides, it gets new aero-optimized 19-inch alloy wheels and a subtle EV badge on the front doors. At the rear, the key differentiators include the " badge on the tailgate and the absence of an exhaust pipe. Harrier EV features a redesigned, closed-off grille with sleek horizontal strakes But more than the skin, it's the internals that deserve a detailed discussion. The is not a ground-up electric vehicle but a significant internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric conversion. While it retains the body shell of the standard Harrier, the underlying Omega Arc platform has been extensively reengineered. It is offered in two drivetrain configurations. The standard variants feature a rear-wheel-drive setup powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor, while the higher-spec versions benefit from an all-wheel-drive layout, made possible by the addition of a front-mounted induction motor. How about the interiors? Step into the cabin and you may not find the space a radically new one. The overall layout is something you might have come across before in its ICE version, but what has changed is the premiumness and feel of the interior space. The cabin of the adopts a refined grey-and-white colour palette, lending a sophisticated and contemporary ambience. At the heart of the dashboard is a crisp 14.5-inch Neo QLED infotainment display The front seats are electronically adjustable, offering a relaxed and ergonomic posture. They are well-cushioned, ventilated, and provide ample support for everyday drives. However, the rear seats leave room for improvement — as the lack of adjustable recline options may limit rear passenger comfort. The cabin stands out for its impressive suite of features, making it one of the most tech-laden and modern interiors in its segment. At the heart of the dashboard is a crisp 14.5-inch Neo QLED infotainment display, paired seamlessly with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Both screens deliver smooth performance and are quite responsive. It also gets Level 2 ADAS feature however, special mention must also be made of the 540-degree surround view system, the digital IRVM, and connected car features with over-the-air (OTA) update support. The Harrier EV features a 'Summon Mode' that enables the vehicle to be maneuvered out of tight parking spaces remotely using the key fob. While the functionality is innovative, its operation isn't entirely seamless at this stage. cabin stands out for its impressive suite of features The infotainment system is complemented by a premium JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos — a segment-first offering. Enhancing the sense of space and comfort are features like a panoramic sunroof and a hands-free powered tailgate, both of which contribute to a more premium feel. How is it drive? Tata cars generally do not disappoint when it comes to on-road manners and is no different. It is offered with a choice of two battery packs — 65kWh and 75kWh — the latter delivering a claimed range of up to 627 km, and Quad-Wheel Drive (QWD). The primary motor at the rear is a 238 bhp permanent magnet synchronous unit, while the front is powered by a 158 bhp induction motor. Together, they generate an impressive combined torque output of 540 Nm, offering strong and confident performance across varied conditions. Since we are talking numbers, also do note that the charging options include a standard 7.2kW AC charger, which takes approximately 10.7 hours to go from 10 to 100%, and a 120kW DC fast charger that can top the battery up from 20 to 80% in just 25 minutes. Tata claims a 0–100 km/h time of 6.3 seconds, which is remarkably quick for a vehicle of this size The first word that comes to mind when you press the accelerator is simple: fast. And it's not just about impressive figures on paper — the real-world performance is genuinely aggressive. Tata claims a 0–100 km/h time of 6.3 seconds, which is remarkably quick for a vehicle of this size. To put that into perspective, the recently launched Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line does the same sprint in 6.1 seconds. While it's not a comparison, those numbers are hard to ignore. It's also worth noting that the power delivery is smooth, with a progressive build-up rather than a sudden surge when you start pushing the SUV. In addition to the standard Eco, City, and Sport modes, the also features Boost and Drift modes — each performing exactly as their names suggest. Boost mode enables sportier acceleration, while Drift mode allows for playful manoeuvres on loose surfaces by disengaging traction control. It also gets paddle shifters that let you adjust the level of regenerative braking across three settings. On regular roads, the Harrier EV surges forward with confidence and feels firmly planted despite its tall stance. Handling is well-tuned, with the SUV maintaining composure even during high-speed cornering. Body roll is minimal, but what truly stands out is the suspension setup — it's impressively calibrated to glide over road imperfections with minimal fuss. While the on-road performance of the is surely commendable, the braking performance leaves something to be desired. The brake pedal feels soft and lacks feedback, often requiring more pressure than expected to stop the vehicle. The is priced competitively, starting at ₹ 21.49 lakh for the Adventure 65kWh variant The final word: The is priced competitively, starting at ₹ 21.49 lakh for the Adventure 65kWh variant and going up to ₹ 28.99 lakh for the top-spec Empowered QWD 75kWh version. Needless to say, the pricing is well-judged, especially as it undercuts its primary rival, the Mahindra XUV 9e, by a margin. If only Tata could address quality consistency and improve fit and finish, this product would truly shine the way it's supposed to. However, this is still arguably one of the finest SUVs Tata has ever produced. It offers a commanding road presence and a level of visual appeal that's hard to match in its segment. Beyond looks, it's also engaging to drive and backed by a comprehensive list of features — making it a compelling choice for EV customers. First Published Date: 20 Jul 2025, 13:50 pm IST

Tata Harrier EV vs Hyundai Creta Electric: Which electric SUV will you pick
₹21.5 lakh electric SUV is best for you data-item-target-url=/auto/electric-vehicles/ data-item-story-segment=Electric> At ₹21.49 lakh for the Tata Harrier EV Adventure and ₹21.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Hyundai Creta Electric Smart (O) Long Range, the two electric SUVs are virtually identical in pricing. Check Offers The electric SUV space in India is getting increasingly competitive, especially in the ₹ 21–22 lakh bracket. Two prominent offerings at this price point are the Tata Harrier EV Adventure variant and the Hyundai Creta Electric Smart (O) Long Range trim. Though similarly priced on the nose, these two EVs aim at very different desires. Let's take a closer examination of how they compare in terms of size, performance, amenities, and total value. Tata Harrier EV vs Hyundai Creta Electric: Dimensions The Tata Harrier EV is considerably larger than the Hyundai Creta Electric in every possible way. It's 267 mm longer, 132 mm wider, and has an 85 mm taller stance. The wheelbase, at 2,741 mm, is also much longer than the Creta's 2,610 mm, promising better rear seat space. Additionally, Tata offers a massive 502-litre boot along with a segment-leading 67-litre frunk, compared to Creta's 433-litre boot and a 22-litre front storage. The Harrier EV is a bigger, tougher SUV with more practicality for road travel or family use.

The MIDC-claimed range is 538 km. In comparison, the Creta Electric's 51.4 kWh battery, front-wheel drive, and 169 bhp output feels more conservative. It offers a slightly shorter claimed range of 473 km. For enthusiasts or frequent highway users, the Harrier EV clearly brings more performance and endurance to the table. Tata Harrier EV vs Hyundai Creta Electric: Features Both SUVs come with a robust package, but appeal to slightly differing priorities. The Tata Harrier EV Adventure is more functionally oriented and ruggedly versatile, while the Hyundai Creta Electric Smart (O) is more concerned with cabin comfort and technology. The Harrier EV packs in projector LED headlamps, connected LED taillamps, larger 18-inch alloys, and even integrated side steps. Inside, it offers leatherette upholstery, an 8-way power driver's seat, 4-way powered co-driver seat, and a suite of unique features like drift mode, multi-terrain drive modes, V2L, and V2V charging—appealing to buyers looking for a more capable, adventure-ready EV.

The Harrier EV is the better choice if you are looking for a larger, tougher SUV, with a strong road presence, more power, a longer range, and extra versatility with things like multi-terrain modes and vehicle-to-load. It is more aimed at buyers who care about performance and like a bit of off-road ability from time to time. The Creta Electric is focused on a premium urban experience, and will appeal more to the tech-savvy city consumers wanting extra comfort, convenience and safety tech rather than size and power. It also has features like a panoramic sunroof, an ADAS suite, ambient lighting, and nicer infotainment systems. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 07 Jul 2025, 10:21 AM IST
