Tata Harrier EV Launch Preparations
Tata Motors is set to introduce the all-new Harrier EV, which will join its existing lineup of electric vehicles, including the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv EV. The company has established a strong presence in the electric vehicle market with a diverse range of electric passenger cars. As competition intensifies with new players entering the market, Tata is eager to unveil the highly anticipated Harrier EV.
Significance of the Harrier EV
The Harrier EV is poised to be a significant addition to Tata's offerings in the Indian electric vehicle sector. Alongside the Harrier, Tata is also developing a new Sierra EV, which is expected to follow the Harrier's launch.
What to Anticipate
The Harrier EV was recently showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo and has been spotted undergoing tests prior to its official launch. This electric vehicle features a redesigned front fascia, distinguishing it from the diesel variant. It incorporates new design elements tailored for electric vehicles, including a fresh grille and aerodynamic wheels aimed at reducing drag.
Inside, the cabin is expected to maintain a familiar layout similar to the conventional Harrier, enhanced with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and a JBL audio system. Additionally, it is anticipated to offer Vehicle-to-Load and Vehicle-to-Vehicle charging capabilities. Known for its safety features, the Harrier EV is likely to include seven airbags, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS capabilities.
