Tata Motors has launched the Harrier.ev in the Indian market at an introductory starting price of Rs 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom) with bookings opening on July 2. Joining the electric vehicle lineup of the automaker, the SUV claims multiple firsts in its name. To begin with, the SUV is the first model of the brand with an all-wheel-drive system since the discontinuation of the Safari Storme. Furthermore, it is claimed to have multiple segment-first features and upgrades over its ICE cousins despite having visual similarities. Here are all the details of the Tata Harrier.ev.

Tata Harrier.ev: Design

The latest electric SUV of the brand comes with a design very similar to its ICE counterpart. However, it has multiple unique elements, creating its own identity. For instance, the electric SUV gets a closed-off grille complementing the DRLs and the LED strip covering the width of the vehicle. The projector headlamps are placed in a polygonal housing on either side of a new design for the bumper, consisting of straight lines running in different directions. Along with this, the silhouette of the EV is the same as its ICE counterpart, with a different design for the 19-inch alloy wheels. All of this is complemented by Nainital Nocturne, Empowered Oxide, Pristine White, and Pure Grey paint schemes. Along with this, there is a Stealth edition with black exterior and interior.
