The exterior design of the Tata Harrier EV has already been seen in production-spec, but a latest teaser from Tata Motors now gives us few glimpses at the interior of the upcoming SUV. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the interior is shared with the diesel-powered Harrier. The Tata Harrier EV is expected to go on sale by mid-2025.
The teaser reveals that the Harrier EV will carry over the same floating touchscreen unit, the four-spoke steering wheel and the digital instrument cluster from the regular Harrier. The center console also remains largely unchanged, housing a rotary dial and a stubby drive selector. The infotainment and instrument cluster, however, can be expected with more EV-specific graphics.
Like the regular Harrier, the dashboard gets a two-tone colour scheme, and the touch-based HVAC panel has also been retained. In terms of features, we could spot a panoramic sunroof and an electronic parking brake as well. The Harrier EV will also come equipped with vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging capabilities, new terrain modes, connected car tech, over-the-air updates and cloud-connected telematics.
The Harrier EV is based on Tata’s Gen 2 acti.ev architecture – the Land Rover-derived Omega platform has been heavily modified for electrification. Crucially, electrification has allowed an all-wheel drive system (a first for a Tata in several years) on the Harrier with one motor on each axle. Detailed specifications aren't available just yet, but Tata says it will have 500Nm of peak torque. Exact battery and range details aren't out yet, but Tata Motors says the Harrier EV will have over 500km of real-world range under Tata Motors’ own range test cycle.
Prices for the Tata Harrier EV are expected to be announced by May-June 2025. Upon launch, the Harrier EV will compete with the new Mahindra BE 6, Hyundai Creta Electric and the upcoming Maruti e Vitara. Prices are expected to be announced by March this year, and it could be in the Rs 25 lakh-30 lakh (ex-showroom) range.
