Tata Motor’s pavilion was unquestionably a major center of attraction at the recent Auto Expo 2023. The automaker showcased handful of Electric Vehicles, but it’s the global premiere of almost production-ready Tata Harrier EV that garnered a massive attention. Tata Motors has still decided to maintain silence about specific information related to upcoming Tata Harrier Electric SUV. Following are some tidbits based on available sources:

- Tata Harrier Electric will be marketed under the new “.EV” (dot-EV) sub-brand and therefore labelled as “Tata Harrier.ev”. First car to launch under this sub-brand was the Tiago.ev.
- Similar to ICE counterpart, Tata Harrier Electric is a 5-seat monocoque SUV, engineered on the OMEGA Architecture (Land Rover D8 derivative) and developed in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover.
- However, what’s different is that the SUV underpins Tata’s Gen-2 EV architecture, which is much more efficient and compatible with Electric Vehicles as well as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models.
- A major welcome update is the introduction of All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with a dual-motor setup. Possibly there will also be a single-motor Front Wheel Drive setup too. The battery capacity is still unknown.
- Tata Harrier.ev will come equipped with features like vehicle-to-load (charging external devices), vehicle-to-vehicle charging (charging other electric vehicles), ADAS, 360° camera, 10.25" infotainment etc.
- The showcased design will largely make it to the production. As a matter of fact, it could be seen much earlier on the upcoming Tata Harrier Facelift and Tata Safari Facelift (sans the EV-specific cues).
- Tata Motors calls this particular white shade “Empowered White”. The serrated turbine blade wheels are functionally sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency. Tyres size is 245/55 R19 of make MRF Wanderer.
- Tata Harrier.ev is confirmed to launch in India in 2024 (around festive season) with an estimated price tag of ₹25 Lakh (Ex.Showroom). We’ll keep updating this thread as and when more details are available.
