Tata Harrier EV teased on social media. Will it climb to the mountain peak?
The upcoming Tata Harrier EV is built on the company's new plus architecture. Notify me Tata EV has teased the much-awaited Harrier EV over social media just days ahead of its launch. The Tata Harrier EV is slated to launch on June 3 as the new flagship for the Indian carmaker's electric vehicle portfolio. The teaser showcases the SUV at the edge of a mountain, ready to climb to the peak. However, the mystery is not revealed yet and it is expected that the Harrier EV will be showcased, tackling the steep incline in the full advertisement will be released later. Check out the teaser below: The Tata Harrier EV will utilise the company's new plus architecture to combine performance, advanced technology, and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. While Tata has yet to release detailed specifications and features, here's what we can expect from this upcoming electric SUV. Tata Harrier EV: Exterior The Tata Harrier EV retains much of the design language of its diesel counterpart but includes distinct elements to signify its EV status. It features a closed front grille—a common design for EVs that improves aerodynamics. The front and rear bumpers have been subtly refreshed, taking cues from the vertical slats seen on the Tata Nexon EV. Another noticeable change is the use of aero alloy wheels that enhance efficiency while also giving the vehicle a strong presence. The LED lights include connected daytime running lights (DRLs), and the rear lamps closely resemble those on the standard Harrier. Tata Harrier EV: Interior and features Although Tata hasn't officially unveiled the Harrier EV's interior, it will likely share the dashboard design with the ICE version of the Harrier. The cabin is expected to feature a black and white dual-tone colour scheme, similar to the interior aesthetics seen in the latest Nexon EV and Curvv EV models. In terms of features, many amenities will likely carry over from the standard Harrier, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front seats. Premium upgrades may include dual-zone climate control and a powered tailgate. Notably, the "Summon Mode" will allow the vehicle to move forward and backwards remotely via the key fob, and a passenger screen is anticipated to be part of the setup. Safety will also be prioritised, potentially offering around seven airbags, a 360-degree camera system, and Level 2 ADAS technologies for enhanced driving assistance. Tata Harrier EV: Specifications Tata Motors has confirmed that the Harrier EV will feature an all-wheel-drive, dual-motor configuration, marking the brand's inaugural all-electric SUV with this drivetrain type. While the specific battery specifications are still under wraps, it is expected to include a large battery pack capable of achieving a range exceeding 500 km on a single charge. Additionally, a more affordable variant with a single-motor, front-wheel-drive option may also be available for consumers seeking a budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing range. Tata Harrier EV: Expected price and rivals The Tata Harrier EV is anticipated to be priced at ₹ 30 lakh (ex-showroom). It will face competition from upcoming electric SUVs like the Mahindra XEV 9e and the BYD Atto 3. tata, tata motors, tata harrier ev, tata harrier ev specs, tata harrier ev features, tata harrier ev battery capacity, tata harrier ev price, tata harrier ev expected price, tata harrier ev launch, tata harrier ev range, tata harrier ev launch in india, electric vehicle, ev, harrier ev teaser, tata harrier ev teaser Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India.

India's EV makers Tata, Mahindra seek to block hybrids in govt fleets, documents show
India's biggest automakers are seeking to block a pollution management body's attempts to promote hybrid vehicles in government fleets in and around New Delhi, saying it will disrupt adoption of cleaner battery electric cars and hit investments, documents show. Companies, including Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors, are lobbying the ministry of heavy industries to overturn an attempt to equate hybrids with EVs and ensure incentives for all government programmes are restricted to electric models, five company letters seen by Reuters show. In a May 2 advisory, the Commission for Air Quality Management, tasked with fixing severe air pollution levels in India's capital region, categorised strong hybrids as "cleaner vehicles" recommending their use in government fleets, a move that caught carmakers by surprise. Given the "ultra-high density" of vehicular traffic in New Delhi and nearby areas, there is a need to move away from "polluting vehicles, dependent purely on fossil fuels like diesel and petrol", the commission said. Automakers, however, argue that hybrids - which use a battery and combustion engine - are reliant on fossil fuels whereas EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them an effective solution for the urban air pollution crisis. "Our plea is for government policy and incentives to stay firmly focused only on EVs," Mahindra said in its May 15 letter to the heavy industries ministry. Along with Tata and Mahindra, JSW MG Motor, Hyundai Motor and Kia Corp have also written to the ministry in support of electric cars, rekindling their face-off with hybrid proponents like Toyota Motor and Maruti Suzuki. Tata, Mahindra, JSW MG Motor, Hyundai , Kia Corp and the ministry of heavy industries did not respond to requests for comment. POLICY UNCERTAINTY The potential opportunity is huge - of the 847,544 vehicles in use by government agencies across India in 2022, only 5,384 were EVs - less than 1%, official data showed. A major concern for EV makers is that support for hybrids dilutes the Indian government's own policy which incentivises only EVs in its production-linked schemes and other programmes. It will also create confusion among car buyers, companies and investors, hurting EV sales at a time when their growth is already slowing due to inadequate charging infrastructure and high upfront vehicle costs. "The lack of a consistent and predictable policy environment may deter long-term investors ... particularly in high-capex, technology-intensive sectors like EV," said Tata, which has raised $1 billion from private equity firm TPG for its EV push. Tata in its May 15 letter said, the commission's move will undermine current and proposed EV investments, impact India's global image as an investor friendly destination and send mixed signals to international stakeholders. Carmakers in India are expected to invest over $10 billion through 2030 to manufacture lithium-ion cells, EVs and batteries, ratings agency Moody's said in a report, adding EV adoption rates in India are still low versus China, Europe and the U.S. Mahindra's EV unit counts Singapore's Temasek and British International Investment among investors while Hyundai plans to invest over $500 million in EVs in India.
