After the Curvv EV, the Tata Harrier EV will be the next significant electric offering from the stable of the indigenous automaker. This new electric SUV will make its debut in its production-ready form in the financial year 2025. With an estimated price above Rs 30 lakh, the Harrier EV will compete head-to-head with the Mahindra XUV.e8which is due in December 2024. We have seen the model in its pre-production form at this year’s Bharat Mobility Show, followed by multiple spy images and videos. The latest news concerns its interior, which has appeared online for the first time.
The latest spy images reveal a dashboard that looks almost identical to its ICE version. However, it features a mounted speaker and yellow accents that are likely to make it into the production version. A large 12.3-inch infotainment system grabs attention, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The electric SUV also features a digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, four-spoke steering wheel, touch-based HVAC panel, stubby gear selector lever, electronic parking brake with auto-hold, a 360-degree surround camera with blind spot monitoring, a panoramic sunroof, and Level 2 ADAS technology.
The Tata Harrier EV will be built on the brand’s Acti.EV architecture, which is claimed to have an optimized battery pack design with cells complying with advanced global standards. With 10 percent better energy density, this platform is compatible with delivering a range of 300-600 km. The Acti.EV architecture made its debut with the Tata Punch EV. The Harrier EV is expected to feature a flat floor and come with V2L (vehicle-to-load) and V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) charging capabilities.
Specifications of the Tata Harrier EV are yet to be revealed. However, it is reported to be offered with a 60kWh battery pack, providing a range of around 500 km on a full charge. The electric SUV will feature two electric motors, one on each axle, giving it an AWD (all-wheel drive) configuration.
