Tata Motors has officially launched the Tata Harrier EV, marking a revolutionary step in India’s premium electric SUV segment. Priced from ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the electric Harrier isn’t just an alternative to its ICE counterpart – it’s a technological leap forward with seven never-before-seen features in Tata’s lineup, including some segment-first innovations.
1. 540° Camera with Transparent Mode – See the Invisible
The Harrier EV introduces India’s first 540° surround view system, going beyond conventional 360° cameras by adding a “transparent hood” function. This revolutionary feature:
- Projects a real-time view underneath the vehicle using front bumper cameras
- Enhances off-road confidence when navigating rocks or deep potholes
- Works with the existing 360° parking assist for unmatched maneuverability
Why It Matters: No more blind spots – whether parallel parking in Mumbai or trail driving in Ladakh.
2. Dual-Motor AWD – Electrifying Performance
The Harrier EV becomes India’s first mass-market EV with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system:
- Front Motor: 158 PS | Rear Motor: 238 PS
- Combined Output: 504 Nm torque (0-100 kmph in 6.3 seconds with Boost Mode)
- Terrain Adaptability: Maintains traction even on slippery surfaces
Real-World Benefit: Monsoon-ready stability and Himalayan-grade hill climbs without range anxiety.
3. 6 Multi-Terrain Modes – Conquer Every Landscape
While the ICE Harrier offers 3 drive modes, the EV variant doubles the capability:
| Mode | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Rock Crawl | Low-speed boulder climbing |
| Mud Ruts | Slushy village roads |
| Sand | Desert/beach drives |
| Snow/Grass | Slippery alpine trails |
| Custom | User-defined settings |
Tech Insight: Each mode electronically adjusts torque distribution, traction control, and regen braking.
4. 14.5″ Neo QLED Infotainment – A Theater on Wheels
Tata’s largest-ever display features:
- Samsung’s Neo QLED panel with 4K clarity
- Split-screen functionality (navigation + media)
- Harman Audio Integration with 3D sound mapping
Comparison: Outshines the 12.3″ screen in ICE Harrier and even rivals luxury German SUVs.
5. Digital IRVM with Dashcam – Sarter Rear Visibility
The electrochromic rearview mirror gets an upgrade:
- Live camera feed from shark-fin antenna (unobstructed view)
- Built-in recording acts as a dashcam (saves footage on USB)
- Night Vision capability for low-light driving
Safety Plus: Evidence recorder for accident disputes.
6. Auto-Park Assist – Hands-Free Parking
A first for Tata, this system:
- Automatically steers into parallel/perpendicular spots
- Controls acceleration/braking without driver input
- Works even in tight 4.8m parking slots
Urban Advantage: Stress-free parking in crowded markets.
7. Summon Mode – Remote Car Control
Exclusive to Harrier EV, this feature allows:
- Forward/Reverse movement via key fob (30m range)
- No driver inside – perfect for cramped garages
- Low-Speed (Under 5 kmph) for safety
Use Case Scenario: Extract your SUV from a tight parking spot before entering.
