The electric vehicle (EV) revolution in India has had many milestones—but the Tata Harrier ev might just be the most thrilling one yet. Blending exhilarating acceleration with everyday practicality, this electric SUV sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. And no, it’s not a German import or a concept car. It’s built in India, for India, by Tata Motors.
This isn’t just performance for bragging rights—it’s a bold signal that electric mobility can be powerful, emotional, and thrilling, without compromise.
Supercar Speed, SUV DNA
The Harrier.ev stands out with its dual-motor configuration, generating an impressive 396 PS of power and 504 Nm of torque. That’s more than what most performance sedans in this price range can dream of. It’s not just the numbers, though—it’s how the power is delivered: instantly, silently, and precisely.
A front motor rated at 158 PS and a rear motor at 238 PS come together to launch the Harrier.ev from 0 to 100 km/h faster than most internal combustion SUVs in the country. It’s electric adrenaline—and it’s addictive.
India’s Most Powerful Homegrown EV—But Why Does That Matter?
India’s EV landscape has mostly been dominated by compact hatchbacks and city commuters. While capable and efficient, few of them excite the soul. The Harrier.ev is different. It uses Tata’s new acti.ev+ platform, designed from the ground up as a native EV architecture. That means optimized weight distribution, more efficient battery integration, and high rigidity chassis tuning—all contributing to superior handling and performance.
It’s not just powerful by Indian standards. The Harrier.ev is one of the few electric SUVs globally to offer both performance and real-world usability, in a homegrown package.
Where Roads End, the Harrier.ev Begins
With Quad-Wheel Drive (QWD) on the dual-motor variant and 6 terrain modes—including Mud, Rock, Snow, and Sand—the Harrier.ev doesn’t shy away from the wild. It adapts seamlessly across surfaces, making it as capable off-road as it is on tarmac. Add in Off-Road Assist and Drift Mode, and you get an SUV that’s not only stable but playful when you want it to be.
One standout feature is Transparent Mode, which displays a live feed of the terrain beneath the vehicle—making it easier to navigate over rocks, ruts, or unexpected obstacles. It’s a high-tech nod to off-roaders and explorers alike.
Smart Power, Not Just Raw Speed
Speed without control is chaos. Thankfully, the Harrier.ev comes with a smart driving brain. Multiple drive modes—Boost, Sport, City, and Eco—let drivers tailor the experience. Need max throttle response? Engage Boost. Want calm efficiency for traffic? Eco’s got you covered.
The SUV also features Multi-Mode Regenerative Braking, accessible via paddle shifters, allowing you to recover energy while customizing braking intensity based on driving conditions. In city commutes, that means less brake usage, more control, and extended range.
Speed That’s Safe and Assured
Pushing a near-2-tonne SUV from 0 to 100 in 6.3 seconds requires serious stopping power and onboard intelligence—and Tata delivers. With Level 2 ADAS, 7 airbags (including a knee airbag), Electronic Stability Program, Blind Spot Monitoring, and High Beam Assist, Harrier.ev doesn’t just go fast—it stays safe.
In fact, the advanced HD rearview mirror (e-IRVM) also functions as a full-time dashcam with front and rear recording, putting safety and accountability in your hands at all times.
Who Is the Harrier.ev For?
It’s not just a performance SUV for the track day crowd. The Harrier.ev is equally suited to:
-
Tech-forward families wanting zero-emission practicality
-
Weekend adventurers needing real off-road capability
-
Business professionals looking for premium comfort with eco-credibility
-
And yes, enthusiasts who want to feel speed without burning a drop of fuel
This isn’t a niche product—it’s a turning point.
