Tata Motors few months launched the ICE Harrier and Safari Facelift, and the design changes they made were inspired directly from their own concept SUV, Curvv. Although Tata had unveiled the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo 2023, it’s still possible both the EVs will undergo subtle design changes. Notably, Tata was endorsing the Harrier.ev with 4×4 capability which ICE Harrier Facelift isn’t endorsed with that.
At the Auto Expo 2023, the Harrier.ev design was similar to the ICE version like the connected S-style LED taillamps. The front face was covered with body-coloured element that had horizontal thin slats on it, and different alloy wheel design for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The same can be said for the Safari.ev except the rear profile has wraparound connected taillamps, and slightly different front fascia.
The interiors will be the same as the ICE version such as the 12.3-inch infotainment system, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, four-spoke steering wheel with Tata logo illumination display, touch-sensitive controls for climate control, panoramic sunroof, and more. It could sport single motor setup for either Rear-Wheel-Drive or Front-Wheel-Drive Type, or twin motor setup enabling All-Wheel-Drive which could be good for 4×4. We can expect it to have range of 500+ KMs.
The Punch.ev will look to its sibling, Nexon.ev like connected LED DRLs, cube-shape split LED headlamps vertically positioned, new aero-efficient 5-spoke alloy wheel design to help cope with the range, and slightly tweaked LED taillamps. Jumping to the inside, the dashboard will be similar to ICE version but slightly updated as well like new 10.25-inch Infotainment System, new 2-spoke steering wheel wiith Tata logo illumination.
Moreover, it’ll get rotary dial gear shifters, and it’s possible it’ll get digital instrument cluster or maybe a redesigned instrument cluster that displays EV-related information. Apart from this, the EV was said to be seen with a electronic parking brake and could be exclusive to top variant.
In Features, it’ll get automatic climate control, Wireless Charging Pad, electric sunroof, LED headlamps, and many more. As for the safety feature, it’ll come with 6 Airbags, Cruise Control, Tyre-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Disc Brakes for all wheels, 360 Surround View Camera, Rear Parking Sensors, and few more.
While we’ve no official word on the battery specs, but considering the Punch EV will be the fourth EV in the line-up, it can come with a battery pack bigger than the Tigor (26 kWh) around 30 – 40 kWh to offer range of up to 500 KMs. Tata Motors is going expected to launch the Punch.ev in January 2024.
