Introduction

Tata Motors isn’t only part of India’s EV revolution—it’s spearheading it. Tata Harrier EV — the most-awaited electric SUV of the Tata stable. Auto Expo 2023 and teased in teasers in 2024, the Harrier EV is an aggressive foray into the D-segment electric SUV segment. With an aggressively growing lineup under its Tata EV brand umbrella, the company is charging ahead to cleaner mobility, intelligent tech, and tomorrow’s cars.

With the success of Nexon EV and Tiago EV, Tata is now going upmarket, aiming at buyers of premium SUVs who expect performance, space, and green credentials without compromise.

It marries the road presence and ruggedness of the original Harrier with a forward-looking electric powertrain, with a promise of over 500 km of range, sophisticated ADAS features, and a design that’s at the edge, inspired by the Tata Curvv and Sierra EV concepts.

Even before bookings began, social media was abuzz with rumours, ranging from potential price points to design features and launch timings. Auto forums, EV YouTubers, and future buyers alike have put the Harrier EV on their radar, with many hailing it as Tata’s most ambitious EV so far.

Launch Timeline and Booking Start Date

The Tata Harrier EV was finally unveiled in June 2025. A quasi-production-ready variant was revealed at various auto expos and EV-only showcases earlier in the year. The styling, taken directly from the ICE Harrier but with EV-mandated modifications, was an instant head-turner for its closed-up grille, aggressive LED DRLs, and space-age alloy designs.

Tata Motors had launched bookings at the end of June 2025, shortly after the public reveal. Potential customers can book their Harrier EV both online through the Tata website—EV website and mobile app, and offline from authorised Tata EV dealerships all over India.

• Official Unveil Date: June 2025
• Bookings Opened: Last week of June 2025
• Tata EV booking is available on the Tata EV app and the Tata EV platform
• Offline booking at all Tata EV authorised dealerships in metro and tier-1 cities

Early Bird Offers:

• Free home charger (in some cities)
• Exclusive Tata EV merchandise
• Amount to book: Rs. 25,000 (refundable)

Expected Price and Variants

The Tata Harrier EV is likely to be priced between Rs. 28 lakh and Rs. 35 lakh (ex-showroom). With its aggressive styling, EV-focused chassis, and premium tech, it puts firmly in the premium electric SUV bracket, making it Tata’s priciest EV yet and a direct competitor to the likes of the BYD Atto 3 and the soon-to-be-launched Hyundai Creta EV.

Tata will most probably adopt a three-variant strategy—base, mid, and Top-end trim—akin to the Nexon EV Max line. The base variant will do without some of the ADAS and infotainment features. In contrast, the top-end variant will have everything from a panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, connected tech, Level-2 ADAS, and a bigger battery pack for maximum range.

The diesel-fueled Harrier (which has a max price of around Rs. 28 lakh on-road), the EV variant offers an over-the-top price but could be priced at a premium of Rs. 4–7 lakh, essentially because of the battery cost, EV features, and efficiency boosts such as dual motor AWD in the flagship variant.

 Variants Expected:

• Base (Standard battery, FWD)
• Mid (Extended range, additional features)
• Top (Dual motor AWD, full tech package)
• Higher initial outlay compensated by lower operating expenses, EV incentives, and higher-end features
• Price Band (Ex-showroom) is expected to be Rs. 28 lakh – Rs. 35 lakh

Battery, Range & Performance

The Tata Harrier EV will reportedly be constructed on Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture—a significantly re-engineered Omega platform reworked for full electrification. At its core, the SUV will feature a large battery pack of 60 to 70 kWh dimensions that will come in single-motor and dual-motor options based on the variant.

Tata has asserted an IDC-certified range of as much as 500 km, although real-world numbers will come somewhere between 420 and 450 km, depending on driving conditions and variant (especially if you choose AWD). This puts it ahead of most current-gen EVs in India in terms of range confidence for long-distance usage. Tata is debuting its very first AWD EV configuration on the range-topping variant of the Harrier EV.

Battery & Performance Features:

• Battery Capacity: Approx. 60–70 kWh
• Promised Range (IDC): Max. 500 km
• Actual Real-World Range: 420–450 km approx.

Drivetrain Performance:

• FWD (single motor) for base/mid variants
• AWD (dual motor) for the flagship variant
• Instant torque delivery
• Projected 0–100 km/h time less than 8.5 seconds (AWD variant)
• Smoother, quieter ride compared to the diesel Harrier

Charging & Infrastructure Support

Tata Motors’ EV series has a robust charging ecosystem courtesy of its partnership with Tata Power EV Charging. As a flagship model, the Tata Harrier EV is likely to use this ecosystem to the maximum extent, providing ease both at home and on the move.

The Tata Harrier EV will be CCS2 fast-charging compatible, which indicates the present international standard. With this, one can anticipate charging the battery from 10% to 80% in less than 50 minutes at suitable DC fast-charging stations. With this, long road trips and city-to-city travel are much more manageable.

Tata will also provide home charging options packaged with the booking. In partnership with Tata Power, early customers will get a 7.2 kW AC wall box charger fitted at their home for free or at a subsidised rate. Portable charging solutions or shared facilities might also be offered for fleet or apartment users.

Tata Power has installed more than 5,000 public EV charging points in metro cities and major highways, several of them 30 kW and 50 kW fast chargers, which are fully compatible with the Harrier EV.

• Charging Support Highlights: Charging Port: CCS2 (DC fast charging)
• Fast Charging Time: 10% to 80% in ~50 minutes (DC)
• Home Charger: 7.2 kW wallbox available with booking
• Public Charging Network: 5,000+ Tata Power EV charging points across the country

Features & Technology Highlights

The Tata Harrier EV is not simply an electric variant of the diesel Harrier — it’s a future, tech-led SUV that advances design and digital experience beyond anything that’s come before. Heavily influenced by the Tata Curvv and Sierra EV concepts, the Harrier EV boasts a new design language with slim LED DRLs, a closed EV grille, aerodynamic alloy wheels, and a new rear with a full-width light bar — all designed for improved efficiency and an aggressive road presence.

Competition in 2025

The Indian premium electric SUV market is heating up in 2025, with several strong players already on the roads or ready to roll out. The MG ZS EV, BYD Atto 3, and recently launched Hyundai Creta EV are among the Tata Harrier EV’s closest competitors, each with its strengths. But Tata’s homegrown Tata Harrier EV is proving to be a category disruptor, particularly in the D-segment electric SUV segment.

The MG ZS EV, at Rs. 23–27 lakh, provides a smooth, city-centric experience with a 50.3 kWh battery and a claimed range of up to 460 km. BYD Atto 3, with its tech-centric cabin and global safety ratings, comes at a slightly higher premium but does not have the advantage of local manufacturing backing and after-sales presence in most Indian cities.

The Hyundai Creta EV, launched in early 2025, is one of the most anticipated rivals. It brings Hyundai’s reputation for refinement, a practical 45–50 kWh battery, and solid tech integration. However, it’s largely front-wheel drive and more focused on urban and suburban use.

This is where the Tata Harrier EV gains an edge—with a bigger 60–70 kWh battery, up to 500 km range, an offered AWD configuration, and a confident road presence borrowed from its ICE counterpart. It also gets wider service footprints, integration with the Tata Power charging network, and an expanding ecosystem of connected EV features through the Tata EVv app.

Competitive Comparison:

Why Harrier EV Could Dominate:

• First mover in the D-segment AWD EV SUV segment
• Tata brand confidence + extensive after-sales network
• More substantial battery and range confidence
• Improved pricing-to-feature balance compared to CBU imports
• Natively integrated charging ecosystem with Tata Power
• Road-ready rugged design appeals with premium EV technology

Final Thoughts – Should You Book Now?

If you’re shopping for a high-end electric SUV in 2025, the Tata Harrier EV is one of the best options available on Indian roads today. With its aggressive looks, up to 500 km range, dual motor AWD capability, ADAS features, and a quickly growing Tata Power charging network, the Tata Harrier EV checks almost every box for contemporary EV customers.

Yes, it does begin at a price of ₹28–35 lakh, but you’re not only spending on electrification—you’re also getting flagship-grade performance, connected tech, and a tough but sophisticated platform suited for Indian conditions. For customers wanting to upgrade from the Nexon EV or diesel SUVs at the expense of range or comfort, this is Tata’s most forward-looking product so far.

This EV is particularly well-suited for:

• Individuals who require space, security, and extended-distance travel without the need for fuel
• Extensive commuters needing highway-capable EV performance and quick charging
• Tata die-hards are willing to embark on the next step of the EV journey with a familiar brand

Additionally, booking has benefits. Early bird pricing, special promotions such as free at-home charger installation, and scheduling delivery slots in advance are all good reasons to book now, particularly before price revisions after the initial demand.
