Tata claims the MIDC-certified range for the 75kWh variant is 627km, while real-world testing has shown a range between 480-505km, making it among the most efficient EVs on Indian roads.

Battery Warranty and Ownership Benefits
One of the biggest highlights is the lifetime warranty on the battery for the first private owner. In case of ownership transfer, the battery warranty remains valid for 10 years or 2,00,000km, whichever is earlier.
Final Verdict
With the Harrier EV, Tata Motors has redefined expectations in the premium electric SUV space. Offering a great mix of performance, real-world range, cutting-edge features, and safety, it positions itself strongly against future competition like the Mahindra XUV.e8 and Hyundai’s upcoming electric SUVs.
Tata’s aggressive pricing strategy, combined with a practical range and segment-first features like auto park, summon mode, and a world-class infotainment system, make the Harrier EV RWD a compelling choice for both enthusiasts and everyday users.
