Tata Harrier EV Deliveries Begin Across India With AWD And Long Range
Share this article:
Tata Motors has officially begun nationwide deliveries of its much-anticipated Harrier EV, setting a new standard in India’s premium electric SUV segment. With its modern design, powerful drivetrain options, and a suite of cutting-edge features, the Harrier EV represents a significant leap forward in Tata’s EV ambitions. This marks the brand’s entry into the all-wheel-drive electric space, offering buyers both performance and practicality in one compelling package.
For those seeking more performance, the flagship Empowered AWD variant stands out. It comes with dual motors—one on each axle—producing a combined 313 hp and 504 Nm of torque. This setup not only enhances traction across varied terrains but also gives the SUV a strong performance edge. According to Tata, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds when Boost mode is activated.
Charging is also designed to be convenient. With a standard 7.2 kW AC charger, the battery takes around 10.7 hours to go from 10 to 100 percent. However, using a 120 kW DC fast charger drastically reduces downtime, enabling the battery to go from 20 to 80 percent in just 25 minutes—ideal for intercity travel and long road trips.
Other key interior highlights include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats, ambient lighting, an electronic parking brake, and a ‘Boss Mode’ for enhanced rear-seat comfort. The cabin is further elevated by a 10-speaker JBL audio system with Dolby Atmos 5.1 support, which promises a rich in-car entertainment experience.
Adding to the convenience, the SUV also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging, enhancing its utility for outdoor adventures or emergency scenarios.
One of the headline tech features is DrivePay, a unique contactless payment solution that lets users pay for FASTag tolls and EV charging without needing a smartphone. The system ensures a more seamless driving experience, especially on long highway routes.
With its powerful electric drivetrain, expansive feature list, and advanced connected technology, the Tata Harrier EV sets a new benchmark for homegrown electric SUVs in India. As deliveries commence across the country, Tata has once again underscored its position as a leader in the Indian EV market, offering an impressive blend of innovation, comfort, and performance.
