Tata Harrier EV Test Mule Spotted

New spy shots reveal the Tata Harrier EV being tested on public roads, completely undisguised. A closer look at the vehicle confirms that this is indeed the electric version, as indicated by the slightly repositioned Harrier badging. The “.EV” badge appears to have been removed for testing purposes.

Additionally, the test mule features thick orange cables, a common trait in electric vehicles, located on the lower left side. Observers also noted that the SUV produced the characteristic EV whirring sound rather than the diesel-powered Kryotec engine sound of the standard internal combustion Harrier. Apart from these distinctions, the overall design remains largely similar to the ICE version, at least from the rear.

Expected Launch and Pricing

The frequent sightings of the Harrier EV on Indian roads suggest that Tata Motors is in the final stages of testing. It is expected that the official launch will take place between March and April this year. Market speculation hints at a competitive price tag under ₹30 lakh, positioning it as a strong rival to the Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9E, Hyundai Creta Electric, and Maruti Suzuki eVitara.

Key Features and Performance Expectations

One of the biggest highlights of the Tata Harrier EV will be its impressive battery capacity. The SUV is anticipated to feature Tata Motors’ largest battery pack yet, ranging between 75-80 kWh. This could translate into a real-world driving range of over 500 km on a full charge, with a claimed range of 650-700 km under ideal conditions.

Another standout feature of the Harrier EV is its dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, making it the most affordable AWD electric SUV in India. This setup will significantly enhance performance and driving dynamics, especially for off-road and rugged conditions. A single-motor, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant is also expected to be available for buyers looking for a more cost-effective option.

Platform and Future EV Lineup

The Harrier EV is based on Tata’s advanced Acti.ev platform, which will also underpin upcoming models such as the Tata Safari EV and the much-awaited Sierra EV. Both these SUVs will share the same electric powertrain and battery configurations and are set for launch before the end of the year. The Safari EV will take on the Mahindra XUV.e8, while the Sierra EV will rival the Hyundai Creta Electric and Maruti Suzuki eVitara.

Conclusion

The Tata Harrier EV is shaping up to be a game-changer in the Indian electric SUV segment. With a massive battery pack, exceptional range, and an all-wheel-drive option, it promises to be a compelling choice for EV enthusiasts. As Tata Motors continues its aggressive push towards electrification, the launch of the Harrier EV will further strengthen its position as a leader in the Indian EV market.
