Primarily, Tata Harrier EV will rival the recently launched Mahindra XEV 9e, while Safari EV takes on upcoming XEV 7e
Ahead of the launch, more spy shots of Tata Harrier EV have been emerging on the internet. This suggests an increase in test mule sighting frequency and an indication of nearing launch. With the launch of Harrier EV, the company will set a new precedent, evolving its lineup and pushing boundaries, catering to varied audiences.
Tata Harrier EV AWD
Recent spy shots showed a Tata Harrier EV test mule blitzing the race track at CoASTT High Performance Centre in Coimbatore, suggesting a spirited character. However, it will also pack a sophisticated suspension setup that is likely to ensure highest level of versatility between comfort and exhilarating drive.
Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Aman Kharat, we now have spy shots showing Tata Harrier EV’s rear independent suspension setup. We can see what seems to be an electric motor, driving rear wheels. In the video, we can see just how composed Tata Harrier EV was when encountering road undulations.
That is due to the fact Tata Harrier EV is using rear independent suspension that is a lot more advanced than current semi-independant setup on Harrier ICE. The company might also be incorporating active dampers or at least semi-active dampers to further fine tune damping co-efficient on the fly at user’s discretion.
On Harrier’s new and advanced Terrain Response Modes, there was a manual or individual setting at the end, which could be making use of adjustable damper controls. With the presence of a rear electric motor and newer off-road oriented Terrain Response Modes, one can speculate Harrier EV to offer a dual-motor AWD setup.
What to expect?
Other notable elements seen with these recent spy shots include connecting rear LED tail lights, a new rear bumper, conventional door handles like the ICE model, aerodynamic alloy wheels that could be 19-inches in size and more. Exteriors and interiors will be more or less identical to current ICE Harrier.
On the inside, we can expect identical interiors to Harrier EV. There might be new finishes and colour themes, but vastly the same as current Harrier ICE. Battery size might go till 80 kWh in capacity, promising around 600 km of ARAI-certified range and around 500 km of real-world range. A dual-motor AWD setup is expected with higher performance.
Currently, the most expensive electric car you can buy from Tata Motors is Curvv EV 55 kWh variant priced at Rs 22 lakh (Ex-sh). Where rivals are concerned, Tata Harrier EV will lock horns with Mahindra XEV 9e, with respect to size and appeal are concerned. Prices for Harrier EV might start at around Rs 20 lakh (Ex-sh).
