The Tata Harrier EV, launched on June 3, 2025, is Tata Motors' flagship electric SUV, bringing advanced technology, robust performance, and eco-friendly innovation to the Indian market. Built on the Acti.ev Plus platform, this premium midsize SUV combines the bold design of its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart with EV-specific enhancements, making it a strong contender against rivals like the Mahindra XEV 9e, BYD Atto 3, and Hyundai Creta EV. Here’s a detailed look at its price, variants, features, and more.

On-road prices vary by location due to RTO charges and insurance. For example, in New Delhi, the on-road price for the Adventure variant starts at approximately ₹22.62 Lakh.
