Design: What’s seen sells!
The overall look of the Harrier EV is similar to its petrol-diesel (ICE) version, but it gets some amazing cosmetic changes that give it a modern and electric feel.
Front:
From the front, the Harrier EV gets a closed grille like the Curvv EV, which gives it a completely electric look. It has vertical LED headlights on either side, and these are connected to a connected LED DRL (Daytime Running Light), which makes a great identity at night or even during the day. And yes, it also has a welcome and goodbye animation function, meaning when you open or close the car, the lights will turn on and off in a grand manner!
Side Profile:
From the side, it gets new 19-inch alloy wheels with aero-dynamic covers, which help in increasing the range of the car. There is an ‘EV’ badge on the front door, which indicates that it is an electric car (the petrol one has ‘Harrier’ written on it). There is a silver kink on the C-pillar, which is black in the regular model, this small change also gives it a premium look. Up front, there are roof rails and a large panoramic sunroof, which lets in light and air into the cabin, making the ride even more wonderful.
Rear:
At the rear, there are connected LED tail lamps with welcome and goodbye animations, just like the ICE model. The rear bumper has also been redesigned, now with vertical slats that match the front design. Up front, there is also a roof-mounted spoiler and rear wiper washer.
Some other highlights:
It gets a camera in the shark fin antenna, which shows the traffic behind on the inside rear view mirror (IRVM) of the vehicle. This feature is not available in the regular Harrier and it works wonders in rain or fog. The vehicle comes in 4 colour options and a special colour option too, so you can choose the colour of your choice.
Interior: As soon as you sit inside, you will feel like you are in a futuristic vehicle!
The interior look of the Harrier EV is also similar to the petrol-diesel Harrier, but it has been given a white and grey color theme to give it a new and fresh feel. This theme is similar to new vehicles like Tata’s Curve EV and Nexon EV, and makes the cabin very airy and premium.
In this you will get a 4-spoke steering wheel with illuminated logo, which also gives a great look on the inside. There is a 10.25-inch digital display in front of the driver, which shows all the important information.
Features: A treasure trove of technology!
The Tata Harrier EV is loaded with features that take care of your every need:
- Convenience and Entertainment: Dual screens, Boss mode on front passenger seat, memory function on driver seat, huge panoramic sunroof, dual-zone auto AC with rear vents, wireless phone charger, 10-speaker JBL sound system, digital keys, powered and ventilated front seats (comfortable in both summer and winter), and multi-colour ambient lighting to change the mood of the cabin.
- EV-specific and off-road features:
- V2L (Vehicle-2-Load Charging): Power devices outside your vehicle’s battery, like when camping or during a power cut!
- V2V (Vehicle-2-Vehicle Charging Support): Yes, you can charge other electric vehicles with your Harrier EV! Amazing, isn’t it?
- Off-road assist, transparent mode with 360-degree camera (you will see the road underneath the vehicle as well!), boost mode, rock crawl mode and mud ruts mode (will prevent you from getting stuck in mud) – all these will make you a champion in off-roading!
Safety Features: Your safety, our priority!
Tata has left no stone unturned in the safety of Harrier EV. In this you will get:
- 7 airbags (6 standard + 1 for driver’s knee).
- 360-degree camera with blind spot monitor (parking the vehicle is child’s play).
- Front and rear parking sensors, auto park assist, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and electronic parking brake with auto hold.
- Adaptive Cruise Control (the car automatically maintains a distance from the vehicle in front).
- Driver Attention Warning (the car will alert you if you are getting tired or distracted).
- And the best part is that the feed of the rear view camera will be displayed directly on the inside rear view mirror (IRVM)! Meaning, no matter how much rain or fog there is, the road behind will always be clear!
