Tata Harrier EV

The moment you start driving the Tata Harrier EV, you notice how composed it feels. The multi-link rear suspension makes a real difference, especially over uneven patches and broken city roads. When you drive through Delhi NCR’s rough stretches or expansion joints on the Yamuna Expressway, the SUV absorbs bumps with confidence rather than crashing over them. Frequency-selective damping helps keep things balanced, soft when needed, firm when pushed.

The flat floor design doesn’t just help rear passengers. It also lowers the centre of gravity slightly, which improves stability. Body roll is present, this is still a tall SUV, but it’s well controlled. You feel secure while changing lanes at higher speeds. Strong NVH insulation keeps wind and road noise out, so even at triple-digit speeds, the cabin remains calm.

What stands out is how natural it feels. As Shams Raza Naqvi says, “You forget this is an electric vehicle.” And that’s the biggest compliment. It drives like a refined SUV first, and an EV second.

When you think of electric SUVs, hardcore off-roading usually isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But the Tata Harrier EV changes that perception the moment you take it off the road. With its AWD (Quad Wheel Drive) setup, you get power delivered intelligently to all four wheels, giving you real confidence beyond city limits.
During testing on rocky patches near the Aravalli trails, the difference was noticeable. The SUV offers six terrain modes, including a Custom mode where you can fine-tune settings based on the surface. Loose gravel, uneven inclines and mild rocky climbs felt manageable rather than intimidating. The 205 mm ground clearance helps you avoid scraping the underbody, while the claimed 600 mm water-wading capability adds serious SUV credibility.

One standout feature is the transparent bonnet view. It lets you see what’s directly under the front wheels — extremely useful when navigating tricky sections. You don’t feel like you’re guessing; you feel in control.
As Shams Raza Naqvi puts it, “It can take you on the trails.” And that statement holds true after experiencing it first-hand.

Range anxiety is the first question you probably ask before buying any EV. With the Tata Harrier EV, that concern feels far less dramatic. The Harrier EV delivers a certified range of up to 627 km (MIDC cycle) in its rear-wheel-drive configuration. The dual-motor QWD version offers a slightly lower range figure due to its performance-oriented setup. In real-world conditions, expect the usable range to vary depending on drive mode and driving style.

In Eco mode, you can stretch the battery further, especially during city drives. Switch to Sport and use Boost frequently, and the range will dip — as expected. But even then, it doesn’t feel restrictive for daily use.
With DC fast charging support, the Harrier EV can add up to 250 km of range in approximately 15 minutes under optimal conditions.

You get a usable, flexible range that works for city commutes, highway runs, and even weekend getaways — without constantly watching the battery meter.

When you sit inside the Tata Harrier EV, safety doesn’t feel like an afterthought. It carries a five-star crash safety rating under Bharat NCAP, which is significant because Bharat NCAP is India’s own crash-testing programme, designed around Indian road conditions and impact standards. While the Harrier EV has secured a five-star rating from Bharat NCAP, this model has not yet been rated by Global NCAP.
You also get seven airbags as standard, which already puts it ahead of many rivals in this segment. Beyond structural strength, the Harrier EV brings serious technology to the table. It offers Level 2 ADAS, including lane assist and adaptive cruise features. Add to that self-park capability and even summon mode, and you begin to see how advanced this SUV feels.
The inclusion of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) functionality further pushes it into premium territory.

Driving it on highways, you genuinely feel supported rather than overwhelmed by the systems. This is easily the most feature-loaded Tata yet, and it shows that safety and tech can coexist confidently in a flagship EV.
 

The Tata Harrier EV enters the market at a starting price of Rs. 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), which immediately grabs attention for a flagship electric SUV. At the top end, the QWD Stealth edition is priced at Rs. 30.23 lakh (ex-showroom). For what you get in terms of power, technology and AWD capability, the pricing is aggressive.

You should also factor in an additional Rs. 50,000 for the home charger, which is optional but practically essential. Even then, when you compare it with rivals like the Mahindra XEV 9e, the Harrier EV undercuts it while offering comparable or higher performance in QWD form.
What strengthens the case further is Tata’s lifetime battery warranty offer, which reduces long-term ownership anxiety. When you consider the performance numbers, premium cabin, and off-road capability, the pricing feels well thought-out rather than inflated. You get flagship performance and serious capability without crossing into luxury-brand territory, strong pricing for a truly complete electric SUV.
