Tata Motors has unveiled the electric version of its popular Harrier SUV at the Bharat Mobility Show 2024. Alongside other Tata models like the Curvv Concept, Altroz Racer, Nexon EV Dark, and Nexon CNG, the all-electric Harrier grabbed attention at the event. Let's delve into the key highlights of the upcoming Tata Harrier EV Concept.
Exterior
The electric Harrier maintains its robust appearance, largely resembling its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart. However, several distinctive elements differentiate it such as a blanked-off front grille, a redesigned front bumper with vertical slats, aero-designed alloy wheels, and a revised rear profile. It continues to feature a full-width LED light bar spanning the front and tailgate. Notable exterior highlights include dual-tone paint options including the striking Seaweed Green color, split LED headlamps, a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite, blacked-out pillars, and black cladding around the SUV.
Powertrain and Specifications
The new Harrier EV will utilize the recently introduced Activ.EV platform. Unlike its ICE counterpart, the EV version will boast an all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration. Furthermore, it is anticipated to feature a larger and more efficient battery pack compared to the Nexon EV offering a claimed range exceeding 500 kilometers on a single charge.
Interior and Features
While the cabin of the Tata Harrier EV will resemble that of the ICE model, it will offer increased spaciousness owing to the new ground-up EV platform. In terms of features, the electric Harrier will be generously equipped with amenities, including a sizable touchscreen infotainment system featuring Arcade EV technology, a digital instrument cluster with navigation support, a twin-spoke steering wheel adorned with a glowing Tata logo, touch-based phygital HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) controls, powered and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree surround camera, a Level 2 ADAS suite, and a revised center console housing AWD controls.
