The craze for electric vehicles is constantly growing in India, but till now this segment was lacking a real off-roader. Tata Motors has filled this gap by launching Harrier.ev – India’s first Dual-Motor AWD Electric SUV, which comes with powerful performance, great range and advanced technology.
What Makes Tata Harrier.ev a True Off-Road Champion?
This SUV is designed not only for urban travel, but also to run well on difficult hills, mud, sand and snow. For the first time since the Tata Hexa was discontinued in 2020, the AWD setup has been brought back in a Tata SUV.
Let’s know about the powerful features of Tata Harrier.ev that make it the new king of off-roading.
Powerful powertrain: Two battery options and excellent acceleration
Tata Harrier.ev is built on the company’s Gen 2 EV platform and has two battery options – 65 kWh and 75 kWh. With Dual-Motor setup:
