Alongside this, Tata has also introduced a new Seaweed Green exterior colour across the lineup.
Tata Harrier EV – Exterior Design
There are no visual changes with this update. The Harrier EV continues with the same design that we have seen since the facelifted Harrier was introduced in 2023. It carries a familiar road presence but adds a few EV specific elements.At the front, the SUV gets a closed off grille, connected LED DRLs and projector headlamps. There are also LED fog lamps that blend well with the overall design. The side profile remains clean and strong, now complemented by aero optimized alloy wheels that improve efficiency.
At the rear, the connected LED tail lamps give it a modern look. In terms of dimensions, the Harrier EV is slightly larger than the ICE version. It is 2 mm longer and 22 mm taller, while the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2741 mm. The new Seaweed Green shade adds a fresh option for buyers looking for something different.

Inside, the Fearless Plus variant comes well equipped and focuses on comfort and practicality. You get a 12.3 inch touchscreen infotainment system, which is easy to use and responsive. The driver seat is 6 way powered with memory function, while the co driver seat gets 2 way power adjustment.
