Tata Motors has officially launched the Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) variant of its highly anticipated Harrier EV, marking a significant milestone in India’s electric vehicle revolution. Priced at an introductory ₹28.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Harrier EV QWD arrives as a top-tier offering, promising unparalleled performance, advanced features, and formidable all-wheel-drive capability. Bookings for the entire Harrier EV range, including the QWD, are set to commence on July 2, 2025.

The Harrier EV QWD distinguishes itself with a dual-motor setup, making it Tata Motors’ first all-wheel-drive EV and the only AWD vehicle from their current lineup. This strategic move aims to solidify the Harrier EV’s position as India’s most powerful, capable, and intelligent homegrown electric SUV.

Key Highlights: Power, Precision, and Prowess

Performance: The Harrier EV QWD is a true powerhouse, boasting a combined output of 390 PS (287 kW) and a staggering 504 Nm of torque from its dual-motor system (158 PS front, 238 PS rear). This translates to a blistering 0-100 kmph acceleration in just 6.3 seconds. The advanced QWD system is complemented by six terrain modes (Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow & Grass, Sand, and Custom) for optimal traction and control across varied landscapes. For an added thrill, a Boost Mode offers instant power bursts, while a unique Drift Mode provides a playful driving experience.

Battery & Range: Equipped with a high-capacity 75 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Harrier EV QWD delivers an impressive ARAI-certified range of up to 622-627 km. In real-world conditions, Tata Motors estimates a practical range of 460-490 km. Fast charging is efficient, with a 120 kW DC fast charger enabling a 20% to 80% charge in a mere 25 minutes. AC charging (7.2 kW) takes approximately 10.7 hours for a full charge (10% to 100%).

Features: The Harrier EV QWD is brimming with cutting-edge technology and comfort. Highlights include a large 14.5-inch Samsung Neo QLED cinematic touchscreen infotainment system with JBL Black 10-speaker audio and Dolby Atmos. Convenience features like Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging add versatility, allowing the SUV to power external devices or even charge another EV. For ease of parking, Summon Mode and Reverse Assist with Auto Park Assist are available. Other notable features include a digital HD rearview mirror with dashcam, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a hands-free tailgate.
