      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Specs, Features, Size Compared

      by

      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e ComparedTata Harrier EV has been launched in India for a starting price of Rs 21.49 lakh (Ex-sh), which pits it directly against the Mahindra XEV 9e launched last year. Both vehicles are quite comparable in size and pack a futuristic set of features and creature comforts. Let’s take a look at how these vehicles differ in terms of specs, features and size on paper.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Specs
      Let us start with pricing of Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e, where the former has a clear edge. Harrier EV prices start from Rs 21.49 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base Adventure trim, while base Mahindra XEV 9e Pack One starts from 21.9 lakh (Ex-sh) and goes till Rs 30.5 lakh (Ex-sh). Prices for Harrier EV’s top trim levels are yet to be revealed.
      It has to be noted that Harrier EV offers a 65 kWh battery with base model, while it is only 59 kWh with XEV 9e’s base variant. With their top trims, XEV 9e has an advantage as it offers 79 kWh battery where Harrier EV tops out at 75 kWh. With a larger battery and larger size, XEV 9e claims 656 km range and Harrier EV claims 627 km. Both promise around 500 km real world range.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Specs
      Where performance is concerned, Harrier EV has an edge as it can sprint to 100 km/h in just 6.2s, while it takes 6.8s with XEV 9e. Both are RWD as standard, but Harrier EV is the first Indian EV to offer a dual-motor QWD setup with higher trims with off-roading capability. Interestingly, Tata does not disclose peak system power with this setup but peak system torque is 504 Nm. XEV 9e tops out at 282 bhp and 380 Nm.
      DC charging is up to 175 kW with XEV 9e and up to 125 kW with Harrier EV, whereas AC charging top out at 7.2 kW with Harrier EV, where XEV 9e offers a faster 11.2 kW unit. Also, it has to be noted that only the XEV 9e has crash tested with a 5 Star rating, but Harrier EV is yet to be tested. However, given Tata’s track record with crash ratings, one could expect Harrier EV to score full fat 5 Stars.
      Dimensions & Design
      Where dimensions are concerned, it is quite clear that Mahindra XEV 9e is a longer vehicle by a considerable margin. However, Harrier EV is wider and taller, which lends it a much-needed gangsta look. When viewing from the front or rear, Harrier EV looks more substantial, while XEV 9e definitely looks larger from the side profile. Longer length ensures a longer wheelbase with XEV 9e which also translates to more legroom on the inside.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Dimensions
      Harrier EV has smaller 502L boot space and up to 67L frunk. XEV 9e on the other hand, has a larger 663L boot and a 150L frunk. However, Harrier EV has a digital IRVM feature that allows you to load your luggage to the roof, while still offering rear view with the help of a camera positioned in its shark fin antenna. Both vehicles have almost similar ground clearance, but XEV 9e offers 19-inch wheels as standard. Harrier EV base variants start from 18-inchers. Also, XEV 9e offers an option to choose 20-inch wheels which is just absent with Harrier EV.
      Features & Creature Comforts
      Where features and creature comforts are concerned, both Harrier EV and XEV 9e blow a lot of punches. However, Harrier EV seems to blow more punches on paper. That’s because it has a panoramic sunroof that opens, a digital key feature, a digital IRVM with DVR function, a QLED screen with inky blacks for immersive visuals, electrically operated Boss Mode, winged headrest, Transparent Mode with 540-degree view and more.
      XEV 9e blows quite a few punches too as it has a triple screen layout, which is quite unique. Also, the instrument cluster is larger at 12.3-inches and a functional HUD with comprehensive features and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) facility for rear occupants. XEV 9e offers a 1400W 16-speaker Harman Kardon music system with Dolby Atmos support. Common features between both are ADAS, self park, summon mode, ventilated front seats, memory function for driver’s seat, independent rear suspension and more.
      Tata Harrier EV vs XEV 9e – Features
      Choosing between Tata Harrier EV and XEV 9e is likely to come down to their design and not spec sheets and comparison tables. While XEV 9e is a handsome machine in isolation, it looks quite overdesigned when compared to Harrier EV. Where off-roading is concerned, Harrier EV is the only one to offer QWD setup with Terrain Response Modes. It will be interesting to see sales figures of both these vehicles once Harrier EV goes on sale.

      Tata Harrier EV Quad Day Experience : Off Road, Technology Demo, Details

      by

      Tata Harrier EV Quad Day ExperienceTata Motors has been upping their EV game in Indian market and Harrier EV is the pinnacle of that journey. This is their flagship electric SUV and it packs features and technology that rivals don’t offer. Also, it packs mechanical equipment that frankly can be termed a revolution in the Indian electric car segment.
      The company organised a Quad Day event at Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida for the media to showcase the latest and greatest features, technology and off-road prowess of Harrier EV. The Harrier EV Quad Day event was split between four zones – Precision Zone, Off-road Zone, Performance Zone and Tech Zone. Let’s go through them one by one.
      Harrier EV Coordinated Slaloms
      Precision Zone
      At the precision zone, Tata Motors showed-off a few stunts with Harrier EV including some slaloms, reverse slaloms, J-turns and more. The coordinated slaloms where expert stunt drivers were driving in both forward and reverse while maintaining optimum space was quite notable.
      Harrier EV Pulling WhAP 8X8
      That said, the notable stunt Harrier EV performed was pulling the WhAP 8X8 combat vehicle from Tata Advanced Systems that weighed more than 11 times as that of Harrier EV. Tata Motors demonstrated Harrier EV’s acceleration with table cloth stunt too, on which glasses containing fluids were placed and there were no spills even after Harrier EV pulled the tablecloth away.
      Off-road Zone
      Harrier EV is being advertised as an electric off-roader as it comes with RWD as standard in single-motor variants and QWD (Quad Wheel Drive) with dual motor variants, allowing for four-wheel traction to tackle tricky stuff. With 504 Nm total system torque, Harrier EV has more than enough grunt to handle off-road challenges.
      Because it has QWD (AWD) setup, the company has given it an updated Terrain Response system with more Terrain Modes than what we see in Harrier ICE. This is where the handshake between software and hardware is tested to its full extent. Tata Motors had multiple off-road challenges strategically laid out to test the capabilities of Harrier EV. So, we did just that.
      Harrier EV Rock Bed
      1. Rock Bed
      Tata Motors had organized a rock bed for Harrier EV to cross. The pit was filled with rocks and small boulders on which Harrier EV had to cross. This is where Tata’s new Terrain Response Modes come into action as I chose Rock Crawl Mode. In this mode user does not even have to give throttle inputs and Harrier EV will soldier on at 6 km/h speed with utmost precision making this rather daunting task look like a cake walk.
      Harrier EV Axle Twister
      2. Axle Twister
      In the axle twister challenge, Harrier EV’s Rock Crawl mode was disabled as it needs more throttle inputs from user owing to its tricky nature. This challenge tests the wheel articulation of an off-roader, putting stress on its front and rear independent suspension and chassis, while vehicle’s ability to maintain traction. Even with one wheel in the air, Harrier EV cleverly puts down power and gets moving with relative ease.
      Harrier EV Incline & Decline
      3. Incline & Decline
      What’s an off-road experience if the classic incline & decline is not in it. At the Harrier EV Quad Day event, there was one. A big one at that, with an incline angle of 34° and a decline angle of 35°. We put Harrier EV in Mud & Ruts Mode to tackle this steep incline. Dual motor QWD setup comes into its own here and pulls on with little fuss. All-wheel disc brakes are quite strong, assisting us with the steep decline.
      Harrier EV See-Saw
      Special mention to Harrier EV’s 540° camera that stitches underbody camera feed into the 360° camera feed, offering a Transparent Mode where you can see what’s happening below the vehicle during off-roading. This is great when you’re trying to position Harrier EV’s wheels where you want them to.
      Harrier EV Sand Pit
      4. Sand Pit
      While sand pits could prove a nightmare for 2WD vehicles, it was not at all a problem for Harrier EV and its improved Terrain Response Modes. To tackle this sand pit, we slotted Harrier EV into Sand Mode and it might make light work of this sand pit, clearing it with utmost ease and zero fuss.
      Harrier EV Side Incline
      5. Side Incline
      Going through side incline challenge, we put Harrier EV in Rock Crawl Mode again where you don’t need to give throttle inputs as the SUV maintains 6 km/h speed on its own. This side incline was rather steep too, but did not unphase Harrier EV in any way possible.
      Harrier EV Camel Hump
      6. Camel Hump
      Camel hump is a technical off-road challenge designed to test an off-roader’s approach angle, departure angle and breakover angle. In Harrier EV’s case, it has 25.3° approach angle, 26.4° departure angle and 16.6° breakover angle. Also, camel hump started with a see-saw which was quite challenging to get right the first time. This tests ground clearance of an off-roader too and Harrier EV’s 200mm+ true ground clearance was not an issue here. For an EV with batteries in the floor, that is reassuring.
      Harrier EV Mud & Ruts
      7. Mud & Ruts
      After all these challenges, it was finally time to get Harrier EV dirty in mud and ruts. It was wet, it was slushy and quite tricky, especially with Harrier EV’s H/T tyres. However, Harrier EV didn’t break a sweat here and with steady throttle inputs, it easily cleared this challenging section with composure and negligible wheel spins.
      Harrier EV Stairs Climb
      8. Stairs Climb
      Last challenge at the Off-road Zone was the good ol’ stairs climb, which is no big deal for Harrier EV after experiencing all these obstacles. However, the climb down through a sheet metal ramp was the most challenging bit, especially with H/T tyres that just cleared mud & ruts. With utmost caution, we cleared this section too and were impressed with Harrier EV’s braking and traction.
      Harrier EV Jump & Water wading
      Tata Motors had arranged for a few stunts at the Off-road Zone where Harrier EV made a few jumps while another Harrier EV was water wading. Speaking of water wading, we were not allowed to do it as part of our Off-road experience. Only experts from Tata Motors did it.
      Harrier EV Chassis Strength
      There was a 1.5 tonnes shipping container placed on a Harrier EV BIW (Body in White) to demonstrate chassis integrity and strength of Harrier EV’s pillars as well. Also demonstrating chassis integrity was crane hang which suspended a Harrier EV BIW on a sky hook while an entire Harrier EV (with powertrain and every other component) was strapped to this BIW.
      Performance Zone
      The most extensive part of Harrier EV Quad Day event was Off-road Zone and Tata even allowed media personnel to do these technical off-road challenges. Same can’t be said about Performance Zone and Tech Zone. For starters, we were not allowed to drive Harrier EV during Performance Zone on the race track at Buddh International Circuit.
      Harrier EV Hot Laps
      An expert from Tata Motors drove Harrier EV on the race track and showcased acceleration, performance and handling. At the race track, Tata showcased Harrier EV’s acceleration which is claimed to be around 6.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill with Boost Mode. We also saw braking performance of Harrier EV, which was quite impressive considering the 2.3 tonnes+ kerb weight of QWD variants.
      For its size and weight, Harrier EV handles quite well too as the heavy batteries are at the floor, taking the centre of gravity low. We asked whether Tata Motors did a timed lap of Buddh International Circuit with Harrier EV like they did with Altroz Racer at CoASTT High Performance Centre in Coimbatore. And the answer is ‘no’.
      Tech Zone
      Finally, we experienced Tech Zone where Tata Motors had curated an experience to demonstrate Harrier EV’s technological advancements. Again, we were not allowed to drive in this zone and we could only experience while Tata personnel demonstrated these features to us.
      Harrier EV Auto Emergency Braking
      ADAS features
      We started off with ADAS features with Harrier EV’s adaptive cruise control feature where it detects the speed of leading vehicle and maintains a safe distance from it. With a mannequin placed on the road, Tata showcased AEB (Auto Emergency Braking) as well where Harrier EV came to a grinding halt before hitting said mannequin.
      However, Harrier EV applied brakes at the very last moment and the distance between Harrier EV and mannequin was quite short. Tata mentions that it is deliberate as their ADAS systems are trained to adapt to Indian road conditions and will not dominate the driving experience by being intrusive from far away.
      Dead-end Assist
      Another impressive feature Harrier EV has which was demonstrated at the Tech Zone was dead end assist. When you meet a dead end, say in a market, Harrier EV can get out of that dead end as it remembers last 50 m distance traversed and it will crawl out of that 50 m distance on its own without any inputs from driver. We have to try this in the real world to judge it properly.
      [embedded content]
      Self Parking
      Party piece of Tata’s Tech Zone was self parking that the company is introducing for the very first time in Harrier EV. It can be activated from the inside when the vehicle detects an empty space and user selects that space from its infotainment screen. It will automatically park itself while doing steering maneuvers and giving throttle and brake inputs on its own. Parking was quite impressive and it was right in the middle of a properly marked parking space.
      Users can just select parking space on the screen and get out and walk away, while Harrier EV will park itself and Tata personnel demonstrated this as well and it worked. There are a few nuances to this as Harrier EV will cut off this self park feature if it detects a person around the vehicle and it happened while we were experiencing it. Also, parking space has to be properly marked for it to work, something we will have to test in real world.
      Summon Mode
      The new circular key allows users to manually summon Harrier EV from its parked space. Cameras and sensors will be working at all times to detect obstacles along with people or animals. It is definitely convenient in parking spaces and it is quite a flex to show off as well.
      There are quite a lot of other features on the new Tata Harrier EV, but these are all the experiences Tata Motors had curated for us at the Harrier EV Quad Day. Tata Motors has launched Harrier EV for a starting price of Rs 21.5 lakh (Ex-sh) and prices of all variants are yet to be revealed. It directly takes on Mahindra’s XEV 9e among others. More

      Tata Harrier EV Top Speed 180 Kmph – Kerb Weight 2,336 Kgs

      by

      Tata Harrier EVWith the launch of Harrier EV, Tata Motors has evolved into a new space where Mahindra XEV 9e has been operating. While Harrier EV is undercutting XEV 9e with base prices, top-spec variant prices are still under wraps. Now, the company has revealed some crucial specs of Harrier EV that were not disclosed before. Let’s take a closer look.
      Tata Harrier EV Top Speed
      The Indian automotive fraternity has been asking one question about Harrier EV since launch. That question is regarding Harrier EV’s total system output, which remains unanswered. What has been revealed, are some performance metrics other than the already revealed 0-100 sprint along with kerb weight info.
      Tata Harrier EV
      For starters, Harrier EV is powered by a 65 kWh or a 75 kWh battery pack option. Where kerb weight is concerned, RWD variants could weigh up to 2,235 kg and QWD variants could weigh up to 2,336 kg. When compared to the ICE version, Harrier EV RWD can be around 300 kg heavier and QWD can be around 400 kg heavier, depending on variants.
      Unlike its ICE counterpart, Harrier EV is RWD as standard with a single electric motor and higher variants get a dual motor layout, one powering each axle, with what the company calls QWD (Quad Wheel Drive) for off-road capabilities. RWD variants offers 238 PS of peak power and QWD variants get an additional 158 PS front motor with a total system torque output of 504 Nm.
      Tata Harrier EV Off-Road
      What’s the top speed?
      Total system power output is still under wraps and you can’t just add front and rear power numbers and arrive at ~400 PS mark. Now, top speed of Harrier EV has been revealed to be 180 km/h with an electronic speed limit. Unleashed, Harrier EV might probably go over 200 km/h, which the arch rival Mahindra XEV 9e does as well.
      With the launch of Harrier EV, Tata Motors has been incorporating a lot of features and creature comforts that were never offered with any Tata vehicle before. Some of these include an electronic IRVM with DVR, Digital Key with NFC key card, self park function along with summon mode, Samsung NEO QLED infotainment screen and more.
      Tata Harrier EV Off-Road Features
      There’s also underbody cameras that allow for what Tata calls 540-degree view, Boss Mode which is now electrically controlled, improved Terrain Response Modes, Ultraglide fully independent suspension at all four corners with frequency dependent dampers and more.
      Where pricing is concerned, Harrier EV comes out as more affordable than its ICE counterpart as it starts from Adventure trim onwards. Harrier Adventure Diesel AT is around Rs 1 lakh pricier than base Harrier EV Adventure, which is staggering achievement. More

      10 Notable Elements In Tata Harrier EV Which Stand Out

      by

      Tata Harrier EVTata Harrier EV is one of the most anticipated launches in India. The company has launched it at a starting price of Rs 21.49 lakh (Ex-sh) and it is Tata’s flagship electric SUV. Tata has kitted it accordingly and it packs quite a lot of new elements that are noteworthy. In this post, we have compiled 10 notable elements of the just launched Harrier EV.
      Tata Harrier EV Launch Price
      1. More Affordable Than Harrier ICE
      We have to start with pricing because Harrier EV is more affordable than Harrier ICE. It is a hard pill to swallow given the notion that EVs are pricier than ICE vehicles. However, Harrier EV starts from Adventure trim level for Rs 21.49 lakh (Ex-sh) and Harrier Diesel Adventure AT starts from Rs 22.45 lakh (Ex-sh). A brave new world, eh?
      Tata Harrier EV Samsung Neo QLED Screen
      2. Largest-In-Segment Samsung Neo QLED Infotainment Screen
      For the first time in mainstream Indian car segment, Tata Motors is upping the quality of display technology in infotainment field. That’s because Harrier EV packs a Neo QLED screen from Samsung, which is the largest in its segment at 14.53-inch. Also, the Quantum layer it packs, has high contrast with inky blacks and exceptional HDR performance for life-like visuals. This infotainment screen packs off-line maps by MAPPL for reassurance.
      Harrier EV E-Valet
      3. Self Parking & Summon Mode
      Harrier EV packs a suite of autonomous parking features bundled as e-Valet. Under this suite, Tata is offering features like autonomous parallel parking (in and out) and autonomous perpendicular parking (in and out). Also notable are ‘anywhere parking’, remote park assist and summon mode.
      Harrier EV New Circular Key
      4. New Set Of Keys
      To access these new set of self parking features, Tata is offering Harrier EV a new remote key, which is circular in shape and is quite small and sleek with dedicated buttons for self parking and summon mode. There’s a Digital Key feature too which supports key sharing. When you don’t want to carry your physical key or your smartphone, Tata offers a NFC key card as well.
      Harrier EV E-IRVM
      5. E-IRVM with DVR Function
      Tata Harrier EV is the first mainstream vehicle in India to offer an E-IRVM that also has DVR function. This replaces a regular IRVM and it packs a display projecting the feed from rear camera and front camera. Even if you fill Harrier EV’s boot till the roof, you can have uninterrupted rear vision with this E-IRVM. With the help of a QR Code, users can download footage of front and rear cameras for documentation. Like a Dashcam.
      Harrier EV Ultra Glide Suspension
      6. Ultraglide Suspension
      For the first time after discontinuation of Nano, Tata Motors is offering independent rear suspension on their vehicles. Called Ultra Glide suspension, it is a multi-link setup with frequency dependent dampers to unlock sharp handling and supreme comfort depending on the Terrain Mode Harrier EV is in.
      Harrier EV 540-Degree Camera
      7. 540-Degree Cameras
      You may have heard of 360-degree cameras and Transparent Bonnet features. Tata Motors is taking these features a notch above and is offering what they call 540-degree view with Transparent Mode. Cameras capture the view of Harrer EV’s underbody and stitch it with 360-degree camera feed to create a truly holistic view of what’s around.
      Harrier EV Performance
      8. Performance
      Wanted a sportscar-like performance in a mainstream car? Harrier EV comes the closest as it packs dual-motor setup with a peak torque of 504 Nm in Boost Mode. While Tata did not disclose combined total system power, rear motor is rated at 238 PS and front motor at 158 PS. 0-100 km/h sprint comes up in just 6.3s. Good news is that Harrier EV is the first ‘RWD as standard’ vehicle from Tata since the discontinuation of Nano, Safari Storme and Hexa in 2020.
      Harrier EV Terrain Modes
      9. Off-Road Capabilities
      The same QWD setup that unlocks massive performance on road, also allows for exceptional off-road prowess as well. Harrier EV has an approach angle of 25.3°, departure angle of 26.4° and a break over angle of 16.6°. There are 6 Terrain Modes on offer with Harrier EV to aid users during off-roading – Normal, Sand, Mud Ruts, Snow / Grass, Rock Crawl and a Custom Mode. Harrier EV was even the first vehicle to do the impossible Elephant Rock Climb challenge in Kerala.
      Harrier EV Zenith Suite
      10. Zenith Suite
      Harrier EV comes with Tata’s Zenith suite as standard. This suite brings a host of comfort features for Harrier EV occupants. These features include powered front seats, ventilated front seats, memory function for driver’s seat, powered Boss Mode for front passenger seat, panoramic sunroof, 65W fast-charging Type C ports, comfort headrest and more.

      Tata Harrier EV Spied Undisguised – Launch Nears

      by

      Tata Harrier EV Spied UndisguisedWhile following largely the same styling approach as its ICE sibling, Harrier EV will be getting several additional features
      As competition intensifies in the electric vehicle segment, Tata Motors aims to boost sales with new product offerings. One of these is the Harrier EV, scheduled for launch on 3rd June. Ahead of that Harrier EV has been spotted undisguised on road tests as seen in the spy shots from automotive enthusiast Avinash Anushe. Harrier EV exudes a macho appeal and massive road presence. Let’s take a look.
      Harrier EV Spied Undisguised – Upgrades over ICE Harrier
      Based on Tata’s acti.ev Gen 2 EV architecture, Harrier EV is designed to deliver a better performance. It will be Tata’s first electric car to have an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup. With a dual motor setup, one mounted on each axle, Harrier EV will have improved traction and stability across challenging environments such as off-road, snow and rain. In Tata’s terminology, Harrier EV’s AWD configuration will be marketed as QWD (Quad Wheel Drive).

      With dual motors, Harrier EV will have a higher torque output of around 500 Nm. In comparison, ICE Harrier utilizes a 2.0-litre diesel engine that makes 170 PS and 350 Nm. With the Harrier EV, enthusiasts will be able to unlock more exciting experiences across diverse terrains. Users can also expect enhanced acceleration, easier overtaking and a more dynamic overall performance with the AWD improving handling and versatility.
      Overall performance will be further improved with a multi-link rear suspension. In comparison, the ICE Harrier utilizes a torsion beam rear suspension. Users can expect smoother rides over uneven surfaces, along with better handling and stability. Harrier EV will also be getting a self-parking function that Tata calls the ‘Summon Mode’. It is expected that Harrier EV could be equipped with a 60-75 kWh battery pack. Range is expected around 500 km.

      Exteriors, equipment list
      Exterior styling of Harrier EV is largely the same as its ICE counterpart. In the latest spy shots, one can notice the serrated turbine blade wheels that are designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The wheels are the same as seen with the unit showcased at the 2025 Bharat Expo. Apart from the wheels, the side profile retains the styling seen with the ICE model. The EV has conventional body-coloured door handles, blacked-out pillars, a slightly rising belt line and the charging port mounted on the right.
      At the rear too, Harrier EV has the same profile as the ICE version. At the front, Harrier EV borrows the lighting elements from the ICE Harrier. However, there are some EV-specific differences such as the closed-off grille and a more refined and futuristic bumper section. Harrier EV could also get some new colourways.

      Inside, the equipment list will be mostly the same as seen with ICE Harrier. Some of the key highlights include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control and a 10-speaker JBL sound system. There will be some EV-specific features such as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging. Safety kit will include Level 2 ADAS, 7 airbags, 360° camera, hill hold assist, blind spot monitoring and tyre pressure monitoring system. More
