Tata Motors has officially launched the rear-wheel drive (RWD) variants of its much-anticipated Harrier EV in India, marking a significant milestone in the country’s growing electric vehicle landscape. With prices starting at ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Harrier EV RWD enters the market as a compelling alternative to traditional ICE-powered SUVs—offering electrifying performance without compromising on luxury, technology, or safety.
Variants, Pricing and Bookings: What You Need to Know
The RWD lineup begins with the Adventure 65 variant at ₹21.49 lakh and goes up to the top-spec Empowered 75 priced at ₹27.49 lakh. These are introductory ex-showroom prices, valid for a limited period.
Tata has also confirmed that the prices for the all-wheel drive (AWD) versions—referred to as QWD (Quad-Motor Drive) in Tata’s terminology—will be announced on June 27, with official bookings opening on July 2.
Powertrain & Battery: Range Meets Performance
The Harrier EV RWD is powered by a single rear motor delivering a punchy 234 bhp, while the upcoming AWD model will add a front motor pushing the combined output to 504Nm of torque—placing it among the most powerful EVs in its segment.
Buyers can choose between 65kWh and 75kWh battery packs, with the larger one offering a claimed range of up to 627 km on a single charge. Although detailed range figures across all variants will be revealed on June 27, the company has disclosed that 250 km of range can be topped up in just 15 minutes using a 120kW DC fast charger. A 20-80% charge takes about 25 minutes.
Additional highlights include V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) capabilities, making the SUV practical for powering external devices or even homes in emergencies. The battery pack comes with unlimited kilometre warranty for first private owners, while subsequent owners receive coverage for 10 years or 2,00,000 km—whichever comes first.
