The Indian EV revolution has entered a new chapter with the Tata Harrier EV 2025—a flagship electric SUV that blends cutting-edge technology, electrifying performance, and premium comfort into a single, future-ready package. Built on Tata’s all-new acti.ev+ architecture, the Harrier EV is more than just an electric version of the popular Harrier—it’s a bold reimagining designed from the ground up for electric mobility.
From dual-motor performance to next-gen infotainment, here’s a deep dive into the top 10 advanced features that make the Harrier EV a true game-changer in the Indian electric SUV space.
1. Dual-Motor AWD Powertrain

Thanks to 1.5C DC fast-charging support, drivers can add 250 km of range in just 15 minutes, making long-distance travel far more convenient.
3. Terrain Management with Transparent Off-Road Mode
Retaining Tata’s rugged SUV legacy, the Harrier EV includes:
- Six terrain modes: Mud, Sand, Rock Crawl, Snow, Eco, and Sport

This ensures it’s not just urban-capable but trail-ready too.
