Tata Harrier EV Spotted Testing – What’s New For 2025?

Among others, the Tata Harrier EV, brought to our attention at the Tata Pune plant, was divulged in its production-spec a bit ahead of the official Tata Harrier EV launch date. Hence, in contrast to merely sitting around, the all-electric Harrier performs maneuvers on the screen, including ramp-overs and obstacle tests. A comparative analysis of the Harrier EV‘s design and features in comparison to its diesel counterpart is rendered below.

Tata Harrier EV Front View

While the design of both Harrier siblings is uniform, the Harrier EV is distinguished by a closed-off grille and new bumper styling that features vertical slats similar to those on the Tata Nexon EV. Meanwhile, the diesel version of the Harrier has a chrome mesh grille and a unique air dam. Regardless, the headlight housing and connected LED DRLs remain common to both models.

Tata Harrier EV Side View

The window lines of both the SUVs remain the same, although the Harrier EV enjoys a special “.EV” naming on its front doors for easy differentiation from the diesel model, whose badge reads “HARRIER.”

Another point of difference is in the wheel layout. The Harrier EV comes with dual-tone alloy wheels styled aerodynamically, while the top-spec diesel Harrier features 18-inch alloy wheels in black color. Opting for the Dark Edition variant in the diesel Harrier allows the wheels to be upgraded to 19-inch black alloys.

Tata Harrier EV Rear View

Both versions come equipped with connected LED taillights, but the Harrier EV is easily recognizable with the Harrier.EV badge on the tailgate. Additionally, it features a redesigned rear bumper with vertical slats, similar to the Nexon EV.

Tata Harrier EV Interior & Features

While Tata did not reveal the Harrier EV interior during our plant visit, we did get a sneak peek when it was displayed at the Auto Expo 2025.

The dashboard layout remains the same as the diesel version but comes with a dual-tone grey and white theme, compared to the variant-based color scheme of the regular Harrier.
Both SUVs feature a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
The Tata Harrier EV could also inherit premium features like a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charger, and dual-zone climate control from the regular Harrier.
A notable addition to the Harrier EV is the Summon Mode, which allows the car to move forward and backward using the key.

In terms of safety, the Harrier EV is expected to offer up to 7 airbags, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). It might also include additional creature comforts to further differentiate it from the diesel model.
