Tata Motors launched the Harrier EV earlier this month at a starting price of Rs 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). However, at the time of launch Tata revealed prices of only the entry-level variant of the Harrier EV. To be available in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD), the company revealed prices of all single-motor variants of the all-electric Harrier yesterday.
Now we all know that Harrier EV competes against the Mahindra XEV 9e.
