Tata Motors launches Harrier.ev to redefine premium Electric SUV Space

Tata Motors has taken another leap in India’s electric mobility journey with the launch of the Harrier.ev, an all-electric iteration of its popular SUV. Priced from ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the new model boasts a driving range of up to 500 km, placing it firmly in competition with premium internal combustion engine (ICE) SUVs.

Aimed at expanding its reach in the high-end SUV segment, Tata Motors is positioning the Harrier.ev as an option for both urban drivers and off-road adventurers. Ā ā€œThe high SUV category is seeing rapid growth. We saw an opportunity to introduce an EV that’s high on performance, rugged capability, and comfort,ā€ said Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.

The Harrier.ev features two battery pack options, including a 75 kWh variant, and delivers 504 Nm of torque through an all-wheel-drive system. Equipped with features like auto park assist, six terrain modes, and over 55 connected technologies, the model also comes with a lifetime battery warranty, reinforcing Tata’s confidence in its EV platform.

Chandra emphasized that the Harrier.ev addresses common EV concerns like charging speed and driving range. He highlighted that it offers a genuine alternative to petrol and diesel SUVs—without compromises.

ā€œThis isn’t just another EV—it’s a better, more refined choice than many ICE models. It blends advanced features with superior convenience, performance, and luxury,ā€ he added.

Tata Motors currently commands a 25% market share in the high SUV category, thanks to the success of models like the Harrier and Safari. With SUVs now accounting for 54% of total passenger vehicle sales in India, the company expects the Harrier.ev to strengthen its presence in a highly competitive space.

Although Tata’s EV sales dipped by 10% in FY25, with 65,000 units sold, the company remains a dominant player in India’s electric vehicle landscape.

ā€œFrom pioneering SUVs in the 1990s to transforming the EV space today, innovation has been our constant driver. The Harrier.ev sets a new benchmark for what Indian electric SUVs can deliver,ā€ Chandra said.
