Let us take a look at the complete breakdown of the Harrier EV’s price, trims, features, and capabilities.

Tata Harrier EV: Performance and Range
The Tata Harrier EV is offered with two battery pack options – a 65kWh battery and a 75kWh battery. The 65kWh battery, which is only available in the RWD drivetrain, claims to offer a range of 538 kilometers. The 75kWh battery, on the other hand, offers a range of 627 kilometers in the RWD drivetrain and 622 kms in the AWD drivetrain.
In terms of power figures, the 75kWh AWD is the most powerful, generating 313bhp of power and 504Nm of torque. The 65kWh battery and the 75kWh RWD variant produce the same amount of power at 238bhp and 315Nm torque.
The AWD drivetrain is only available in the top-spec Empowered QWD 75 variant which comes with a dual motor configuration, giving the Harrier EV enhanced performance and off-road capability.

Coming to the charging capabilities, the Harrier EV supports DC fast charging of up to 120kW, which can charge the car from 20% to 80% in just 25 minutes. Apart from this, the car also comes with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-load power sharing also, allowing you to use appliances or charge other EVs in times of emergency.
Now while the charging and battery on the Harrier EV are pretty good, the performance is also great. It goes from 0 to 100 in just 6.3 seconds (Empowered QWD 75 variant with Boost Mode). Apart from making it fast, Tata has also made the Harrier EV a capable off-roader with terrain modes for better traction on different surfaces and tarmacs.
Tata Harrier EV Colour Options
The Tata Harrier EV has been launched in four colour options, which are in shades of blue, grey, and white. Here is what they’re called:

Apart from the abovementioned colours, the Tata Harrier EV has also been launched in the Stealth Edition, which has a matte black colour and finish. The Stealth Edition, however, is limited to the Empowered variant of the Harrier EV (both RWD and AWD).

The car can come forward or reverse in a straight line using just the key, similar to what we have seen on other more premium cars.
Final Thoughts
The Tata Harrier EV comes after a lot of anticipation behind the car. It is also the most premium EV that Tata has launched to date. The car has also been launched in both rear wheel drive and all wheel drive configurations. The car competes with the Mahindra XEV 9e and stands a segment above the likes of the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE6, MG ZS EV, and more.
In terms of features also, the Tata Harrier EV comes with more features than any of the above-mentioned cars and is the only one available in an AWD drivetrain. The 0-100 dash is also one the quickest among the above mentioned EVs, which means this is also one of the fastest mainstream EV in the country.
So the Harrier sounds like a winner on paper. It has best-in-class features, best-in-class performance, and enough range to make it decent enough to purchase. For a price of under or just above ₹30 lakh, the Harrier EV doesn’t sound like a bad deal at all.
