Tata Motors is charging into the future (literally) with the launch of the new all-electric Tata Harrier EV on June 3rd, 2025. Designed for those who crave adventure without compromising on comfort or sustainability, the Harrier EV is not just another electric SUV, it’s a bold reimagination of what a modern SUV should be.
With a starting price of ₹21.49 lakh, it brings EV excellence to the masses, challenging the dominance of ICE-powered SUVs in the Indian market. But how does it truly stack up against its fossil-fuel-burning rivals?
Let’s dive deep and see why the Tata Harrier EV could be your next SUV and why an ICE vehicle might no longer cut it.
Powertrain & Performance: Harrier EV vs ICE
Winner: Tata Harrier EV, with instant torque, silent performance, and advanced dual-motor QWD setup.
Terrain Modes & Drive Modes: Tech Meets Tough
While ICE SUVs have mechanical AWD systems and basic traction modes, the Harrier EV takes off-roading to the next level:
Drive Modes
- Eco – Maximize range
- City – Smooth, balanced drive
- Sport – Aggressive torque for thrill
- Boost – Adrenaline kick for 10 seconds
Terrain Modes
- Normal, Sand, Mud & Ruts, Snow & Grass, Rock Crawl
- Drift Mode & Custom Mode
- Transparent Terrain View – See under the SUV while off-roading
- Off-Road Assist
- Cruise control at crawling speeds
- Real-time terrain mapping
Compared to ICE SUVs, this intelligent digital terrain management ensures better traction, fewer breakdowns, and greater precision.
Winner: Tata Harrier EV, with software-defined off-roading.
Charging vs Refueling: Convenience vs Habit
- Home Charging: 65kWh battery = ~9.5 hrs | 75kWh = ~10.7 hrs
- DC Fast Charging: 20–80% in just 25 minutes
- V2L & V2V: Power your campsite or charge another EV!
While ICE SUVs can refuel faster, they depend on petrol/diesel availability. EV owners gain charging flexibility and cleaner energy, especially with home solar setups.
Winner: Depends, but EV wins in long-term sustainability and cost.
Safety & Digital Tech: Harrier EV Leads the Way
- ADAS Level 2 with Auto Park Assist, Reverse Assist, and Summon Mode
- 540° Camera with Transparent Terrain View
- Digital Key, Smart Card, Remote Access
- HD Rearview Mirror with 6-hour recording
- Blind Spot View Monitor
ICE SUVs are slowly adopting these, but Tata Harrier EV makes next-gen tech standard, not optional.
Winner: Harrier EV – safer, smarter, more connected.
Interior & Comfort: The Zenith Suite Experience
Step into the Zenith Suite, Tata's answer to luxury car interiors:
- Premium leatherette upholstery (Carbon Noir in Stealth Edition)
- Panoramic Skyroof
- 36.9 cm Neo QLED Display by Harman – world's first automotive Neo QLED
- JBL Black Edition 5.1 Dolby Atmos Sound System
- 25+ apps including OTT, music, utility, and car functions
- The Stealth Black Edition takes style further with a matte black exterior and fully blacked-out interior theme.
ICE SUVs are playing catch-up here too. Many still rely on dated infotainment, analog dials, and minimal digital integration.
Winner: Tata Harrier EV, hands down.
Space, Boot, and Frunk
- Boot Space: 502L (expandable to 999L)
- Frunk (Front Trunk): 67L (RWD) / 35L (AWD)
ICE SUVs don’t have a frunk. That’s 35–67 liters of lost utility. Wanna guess what EVs don’t require that lets them have a frunk space?
Warranty & Ownership Experience
Tata offers an industry-first lifetime unlimited battery warranty for first owners of the Harrier EV, a bold move no ICE or even EV rival matches.
Combine that with low running costs (₹1–1.5/km vs ₹7–8/km for ICE), minimal servicing, and future-proof tech.
Price, Variants & Booking
- Price: ₹21.49 Lakh
- Launch Date: June 3, 2025
- Booking Starts: July 2, 2025
- Variants: Adventure, Fearless, Empowered
- Expected Top Variant Price: ₹29 Lakh
- Available Colors: Pristine White, Pure Grey, Empowered Oxide, Nainital Nocturne, Stealth Black Edition
Tata Harrier EV vs ICE SUV – Final Verdict
