Tata Motors has officially launched the Tata Harrier.ev AWD in India. With prices starting at ₹28.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the all-wheel-drive variant builds upon the momentum created by the earlier RWD versions and now adds performance, capability, and safety enhancements through dual-motor technology.
The Tata Harrier.ev AWD is now available for booking from July 2, expanding Tata’s electric portfolio to the mid-size premium SUV segment. Prices for the full Harrier.ev range begin at ₹21.49 lakh for the RWD variants, with the AWD variant being the top end. These prices are introductory and do not include the cost of a home charger or installation. An AC fast charger is available as an optional extra.
Tata Harrier.ev AWD – Powertrain and Performance
The Tata Harrier.ev AWD is powered by a dual-motor setup — a 158 PS (116 kW) front motor and a 238 PS (175 kW) rear motor. Combined, the system delivers a peak torque of 504 Nm. This enables a claimed 0–100 km/h sprint in a claimed 6.3 seconds, placing it among the fastest accelerating mainstream electric SUVs in the country.
It gets six terrain modes, an Off-Road Assist function, and a Boost Mode — all of which sound impressive on paper. These are clearly meant to give the Harrier.ev AWD some credibility beyond just being a road-going electric SUV. Whether buyers actually need or use all of these features is to be seen, but they do add a layer of flexibility that most competitors like the XEV 9e for instance in this price range don’t currently offer.
Tata Harrier.ev AWD – Range and Charging Capabilities
One of the strongest points of the Tata Harrier.ev AWD is its range. Equipped with Tata’s latest generation of battery tech, the AWD variant offers a certified MIDC range of 627 km (combined from P1 + P2 battery configuration). This figure places it firmly in the long-range EV bracket, helping ease range anxiety for prospective buyers.
Fast charging is another highlight — the Harrier.ev AWD can gain 250 km of range in just 15 minutes using a DC fast charger, making it suitable for both long-distance drives and daily city commutes.
Tata Harrier.ev AWD – Safety
The Tata Harrier.ev AWD is also India’s safest electric AWD SUV so far, boasting a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating. The SUV scored 32/32 for Adult Occupant Protection and 45/49 for Child Occupant Protection. Tata Motors also offers a lifetime warranty on the high-voltage battery pack. Active safety features like ADAS is also on offer. Tata has equipped the Harrier.ev AWD with 7 airbags, Hill Descent Control, Hill Hold Control, ISOFIX child seat mounts, TPMS, ABS with EBD, ESP and Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold.
Tata Harrier.ev AWD – Design and Interior Technology
While the AWD variant retains the design language of its ICE counterpart, subtle enhancements underline its capability. Expect a similar futuristic design with signature EV styling elements, LED lighting, and rugged stance.
Inside, the Harrier.ev AWD comes packed with connected car features, a premium 14.3-inch Samsung NEO Q-LED infotainment system, and terrain-specific drive modes. The audio setup includes a 10-speaker JBL Black system with Dolby Atmos support assuring a premium in-car entertainment experience. Other highlights include: Ultra Glide Suspension with Frequency Dependent Damping for a smoother ride Digi Access (digital key), DrivePay, and e-Valet Auto Park Assist for convenience and Advanced 540-degree surround view camera system
Tata Harrier.ev AWD – Market Positioning and Rivals
The Tata Harrier.ev AWD arrives at a time when India’s electric SUV segment is evolving rapidly. With its dual-motor setup, off-road credentials, and competitive 627 km MIDC range, it certainly raises the bar for what Indian OEMs are delivering in this space. However, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. There are strong rivals like the Mahindra XEV 9e/BE6, Hyundai Creta EV and even the BYD Atto 3. While the Harrier.ev AWD brings segment-first features and impressive range on paper, its real-world efficiency, charging ecosystem support, and long-term ownership experience will ultimately decide how well it holds up against growing competition.
