Tata Harrier EV to launch today: Here's everything you need to know

In a major move toward electrification, Tata Motors is ready to lift the curtain on the Tata Harrier EV, one of the most awaited electric SUVs of the year. The launch, scheduled for today, signals the brand’s aggressive push into the premium electric segment, leveraging the popularity of its Harrier lineup while offering a greener alternative.

A Bold New Chapter in Tata’s EV Journey

The Harrier EV isn’t just an electrified version of its ICE counterpart — it represents a significant leap in Tata's EV strategy. Expected to be built on the Acti.EV platform, which is designed for advanced EVs, the Harrier EV will aim to combine rugged SUV appeal with future-ready tech.

This will be the company’s first electric SUV in the mid-size segment, bridging the gap between its compact EVs like the Nexon EV and future full-size electric offerings.

Expected Features and Performance

Though official specs will be revealed at launch, here's what industry insiders expect:

Battery & Range: The Harrier EV is likely to come with a high-capacity battery pack offering a range of 400–500 km on a single charge.

Dual Motor Setup: Rumors point to an AWD configuration, possibly with dual electric motors — making it a performance-focused offering.

Tech-Loaded Cabin: A large infotainment display, connected car features, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and premium finishes are expected.

Charging Capabilities: Fast charging support and vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology may be part of the package, catering to modern EV users.

Design: Familiar Yet Futuristic

Tata is expected to retain the Harrier's bold silhouette while introducing design elements unique to the EV model. These could include a closed-off grille, aerodynamic wheels, EV-specific lighting, and blue accents — creating a clear identity for the electric variant.

Competitive Edge

With growing interest in EVs and increasing government support, Tata Harrier EV will face competition from upcoming electric SUVs like the Mahindra XUV.e8 and the Hyundai Creta EV. However, Tata's first-mover advantage in the Indian EV market, along with its expanding charging network, could give it a strong head start.

Pricing and Launch Timeline

While the official price will be announced during the launch event, the Harrier EV is expected to start at around ₹28–30 lakh (ex-showroom). Deliveries may begin later in 2025, depending on production readiness and market rollout strategy.
