Four months after it was first unveiled in its full production-spec avatar at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, the launch date of Tata Harrier EV has come to light. The upcoming electric SUV has been in development for a very long time with the first concept prototype unveiled back at Auto Expo 2020.
Since then, test mules of the electric mid-size SUV have been spotted on numerous occasions. A design patent for the same was filed by the company fairly recently which reveals the updated exterior of the Harrier EV over the previous prototypes. It has now come to light that Tata Harrier EV will launch on June 3. Here’s everything you need to know about the Harrier EV ahead of its launch.
Tata Harrier EV: Expected Design
The Harrier EV flaunts a redesigned, fully enclosed front fascia with a nose that incorporates four horizontal creases. The front bumper has been updated to include vertical slats. The patent images reveal a new set of alloy wheels, resembling those found on the Harrier Stealth Edition. Additionally, the roof rails look noticeably chunkier compared to previous Harrier models. Apart from these changes and the distinct Harrier.ev branding, the overall design remains largely the same as the diesel-powered version.
Tata Harrier EV: Expected Interiors & Features
As revealed in earlier spy shots, the Harrier EV’s cabin layout will closely mirror that of its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart. The Stealth Edition is likely to feature the same design finished in an all-black theme, while the standard version is expected to sport a dual-tone dashboard. Key interior highlights include a 12.3-inch Harman infotainment system and a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster.
Tata has retained the two-tone dashboard design, dual-zone climate control with touch-sensitive buttons and toggle switches, a Terrain mode selector dial, and a four-spoke steering wheel featuring an illuminated Tata logo. Similar to the ICE variant, the Harrier EV is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, a JBL sound system, and electronic parking brake. Additionally, it introduces new features such as vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging capabilities.
Tata Harrier EV: Expected Specs
Tata has yet to disclose full details about the Harrier EV, but it is confirmed to be built on the new Gen 2 Acti.ev platform. This will mark Tata’s first all-wheel-drive electric vehicle, expected to feature a dual-motor setup. The Harrier EV is anticipated to deliver 500 Nm of torque and offer a driving range of up to 500 km on a single charge.
