Tata Motors in few weeks will be launching the Harrier EV in India, expanding its electric vehicle lineup. This upcoming electric SUV will directly take on the Mahindra XEV.9e. Recently, Tata showcased the Harrier EV at its Pune facility, and now new patent filing has now revealed key design elements.

Tata Harrier EV Patent Details

The Harrier EV follows Tata’s typical approach of retaining the overall design of its ICE counterpart while incorporating EV-specific changes. As seen in the patent images, the front fascia features a closed-off grille with horizontal trims, distinguishing it from the diesel-powered model. The lower bumper gets a refreshed look with vertical and diagonal slats, resembling the design seen on the Curvv EV.

Tata Harrier EV Exterior Design

The Harrier EV maintains a bold SUV stance with familiar lighting elements at the front and rear. The side profile includes conventional door handles, blacked-out pillars, and body cladding. The ORVMs are dual-tone and integrate turn signals.

One of the key differences is the newly designed aerodynamic alloy wheels with sharp cuts and grooves, enhancing efficiency and road presence. An ‘ev’ badge is positioned on the front doors, replacing the ‘Harrier’ branding seen on the ICE variant. At the rear, the EV version carries over elements like the shark fin antenna, roof-mounted spoiler, raked windshield, connected tail lamps, and a muscular bumper.

Tata Harrier EV Interior

Inside, the Harrier EV shares most features with its ICE version. It comes equipped with a 12.3-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The centre console layout remains unchanged, housing the terrain mode rotary dial, gear selector, and an electronic parking brake. On top of that, you get new white theme for the cabin.

The SUV also offers a dual-pane sunroof, dual-zone climate control, and a four-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo. One of the key advantages of the EV model will be lower noise and vibration levels, enhancing cabin comfort.

Tata Harrier EV – Expected Performance and Launch

While Tata has not disclosed full specifications, it has confirmed that the Harrier EV will offer a range of over 500 km on a single charge. The SUV will feature a dual-motor setup with an AWD system, delivering approximately 500 Nm of torque.

Additionally, the Harrier EV will be equipped with a multi-link suspension, which offers better ride quality compared to the torsion beam suspension on the ICE model. This setup enhances traction, cornering stability, and overall driving comfort.

The Tata Harrier EV is expected to be priced from around Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom) and will be a significant addition to Tata’s growing EV portfolio.
