Tata Motors will electrify the Indian SUV space with the launch of the Tata Harrier EV on June 3. The eagerly awaited model will be the company’s flagship electric SUV. It marks Tata’s entrance into the full-sized electric SUV space.
What’s so special about the Harrier EV?
The Harrier EV has already created a lot of buzz. It has been featured in its production-ready avatar at top auto shows earlier this year. Here’s why this launch is important:
Groundbreaking Range and Performance
- The Harrier EV promises to have a real-world driving range of a whopping 500 kilometers. Which addresses one of the largest worries of EV customers, range anxiety. Under the bonnet, it will presumably contain a sturdy 75 kWh battery pack. Coupled with a dual-motor arrangement, giving the vehicle all-wheel drive (AWD) ability. That will not only boost the performance but also make the Harrier EV the first Tata EV to feature AWD. Which will provide improved traction and handling over different landscapes.
Contemporary, Futuristic Design
- Although the Harrier EV maintains its muscular and aggressive silhouette. Like that of its ICE counterpart, it receives some EV-specific design touches. Look forward to a grille that has been blanked out. Redesigned bumpers, and aerodynamic alloy wheels. That are not only aesthetically pleasing but also efficient. The overall form factor is both old school and futuristic. It would make both classic SUV fans and EV devotees happy.
Feature-Rich, Tech-Loaded Cabin
- Step inside, and you’re greeted by a premium, tech-laden cabin. The Harrier EV boasts a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A 10-speaker JBL sound system, dual-zone climate control. Ventilated seats, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and a powered tailgate. Tata has also prioritized safety and convenience, offering Level 2 ADAS. A 360-degree camera, seven airbags, and a self-parking function.
Innovative and Distinctive Features
- The Harrier EV is more than just the fundamentals. It introduces a number of innovative features. Specifically, it features a Summon Mode. Where you can remotely shift the vehicle via the key fob. It is ideal for limited parking spaces. The Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function allows you to charge external devices directly from the vehicle’s battery. While Vehicle-to-Vehicle charging allows you to even charge another EV that needs it.
Pricing and Competition
Tata is likely to place the Harrier EV in the range of ₹24 lakh to ₹30 lakh. As a premium model in the electric SUV category. The car will compete head-to-head with other new and current electric SUVs. Like the Hyundai Creta EV, MG ZS EV, Kia Carens EV, and Mahindra XUV.e9.
