Tata Harrier EV: Design
In terms of design, the Tata Harrier EV retains the basic shape and silhouette of the internal combustion-powered Harrier. However, it has certain EV-specific design details. To begin with, at the front, it gets a closed-off grille to enhance aerodynamics. Down below, the front bumper gets a slight redesign with vertical satin silver slats to cool off the internal components such as the battery pack and the motors. Other than this, the front profile is very much identical to the Harrier with split headlamp setup however, the DRLS are now connected in the Harrier EV.

Moving to the side profile, the Harrier EV is identical to the ICE counterpart, baring a few differences. The EV version of the mid-size SUV sits on larger 18-inch alloy wheels which do get aero styling to improve efficiency. Other than this, everything else remains the same. Interestingly, the Harrier EV misses out on the flush-style door handles which made their debut with the Tata Curvv and Curvv EV, and had recently been seen on the 2025 Tata Altroz as well. The rear profile of the Harrier EV is also pretty much identical to the diesel-powered model. It continues to get the connected tail light setup, however, the rear bumper gets a slight redesign. The Tata Harrier EV will be offered with either RWD or QWD drivetrain options. Tata Harrier EV: Cabin
Just like on the outside, the cabin of the Tata Harrier EV also resembles the diesel-powered Harrier. It continues to get a dual-tone cabin. However, the interior finish depends on the variant of choice. It gets a new 14.5-inch Samsung Neo QLED touchscreen infotainment system along with the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The infotainment system gets wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while the instrument cluster can be used to project maps for better convenience. Other key changes inside the cabin include a new rotary dial to select between six different terrain modes - Normal, Sand, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Rock Crawl and Custom. The cabin features a large 14.5-inch Samsung QLED display.
