New Tata Sierra Launched! Full Walkaround & First Look | autoX

The Tata Sierra is back! One of India’s most iconic nameplates has returned in an all-new avatar, and Aryan gives you a detailed walkaround straight from the launch floor.

The hatchback segment in India isn’t what it used to be. These days, all the action is happening in the SUV and even MPV segments (see our cover). So, it’s a rare treat when we get to review a new hatchback. And it’s even more exciting when that hatchback comes with a diesel engine.

I spent a day with both the diesel and CNG versions of the recently launched Tata Altroz facelift. The new model comes with some tweaks while retaining some of the standout qualities of the outgoing version.

So, how much better is the new Altroz, and how does it stack up against rivals in the same price bracket? Time to find out.

<h2>Tata Altroz Facelift Exterior Updates</h2>

The dimensions of the Altroz remain unchanged, but the styling has received a notable update. There’s a clear emphasis on blacked-out elements, visible on the front end and the newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels. The LED headlamps now sport a sharper, more modern design, enhancing the overall look.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Tata-Altroz-Facelift-1748336409778.webp" alt="Tata Altroz Facelift.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Further adding to the contemporary appeal are the front flush door handles and connected tail lamps. While I wasn’t particularly taken with the design when I first saw the photos, I have to admit it looks significantly better in person. This is yet another attractively styled offering from Tata – something that’s become the norm of late. That said, I’d still consider swapping out the black alloys. They currently give off a bit too much of an EV vibe for my liking.







<h2>Tata Altroz Facelift Interior Features &amp; Updates</h2>

The dashboard has been redesigned and looks rather impressive. It houses a 10.25-inch touchscreen that was free of any lag during our time with the hatch. This unit supports wireless smartphone connectivity and includes a 65W USB-C port at the front, with another provided for the second row – a thoughtful addition that laptop users will certainly appreciate.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Tata-Altroz-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1749464187723.webp" alt="Tata Altroz-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Tata has also introduced their illuminated, two-spoke steering wheel into the mix. The AC controls have been moved to a touch panel, which also houses buttons for switching to CNG mode and for activating the 360-degree camera. It’s great to see Tata offering a surround-view camera – the feed quality is decent – though the obstacle detection system does need some calibration. During our test, even when reversing on a flat, empty tarmac, the system repeatedly flagged non-existent obstacles and triggered warning alerts. An electronic sunroof and a larger ambient light strip further add to the interior appeal.







While you still get fabric seats, they provide excellent support and cushioning, particularly due to the new extensions at the base that offer better under-thigh support. This feature is also present in the rear seats. However, I do feel Tata missed a trick by not including powered &amp; ventilated front seats in this update.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Tata_Altroz_Facelift_First_Drive_Review_autoX_Aakash_Rear_Seats-1763970185236.webp" alt="Tata_Altroz_Facelift_First_Drive_Review_autoX_Aakash_Rear_Seats.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 The second-row space is adequate, though knee room may feel just about enough for taller passengers. One surprising omission is the absence of a weight sensor on the rear bench. As a result, the seatbelt warning system requires the rear seat belts to be buckled even when no one is seated at the back – otherwise, the alarm keeps beeping.







<h2>Tata Altroz Diesel &amp; CNG Driving Review</h2>

The new Altroz is available with a choice between a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine, both offering the same outputs as before. The petrol variant is also offered with a CNG option, although the more powerful turbo-petrol version is yet to be introduced.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Tata-Altroz-gear-lever-1749464179915.webp" alt="Tata Altroz-gear-lever.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

Notably, the Altroz remains the only hatchback to offer a diesel powertrain – a welcome change, especially given how punchy this motor is. It cruises effortlessly at highway speeds; however, at higher revs, engine noise and vibrations do become apparent. Both petrol and diesel engines suffer from a lack of low-end pulling power, which is noticeable in everyday driving.

The petrol engine is now available with a 5-speed AMT, while the CNG and diesel variants are paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. While the gear shifts are generally easy, the throws are long, and there’s an occasional grinding sound mid-shifts. So, while the engine itself is reasonably competent, there haven’t been any notable improvements in terms of how it behaves.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Tata-Altroz-Rear-Three-Quarter-1749464194255.webp" alt="Tata Altroz-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

What does stand out, however, is the ride quality. Tata continues to deliver some of the best suspension setups in the business – the Altroz handles bumps with impressive composure while still offering good grip around faster corners. It may not be an outright driver’s car, but it comes remarkably close.

<h2>Tata Altroz Facelift Price &amp; Verdict</h2>

The new Altroz remains a well-rounded package – just as it always was. The refreshed styling and updated features make an even stronger case for it in today’s market. Even the introductory starting price of ₹ 6.89 lakh (ex-showroom) is quite competitive.

That said, the higher trims do feel a bit pricey and could have offered a few more features to justify the premium. If you’re looking for a diesel hatchback, the Altroz stands as your default choice. However, if you’re open to petrol or CNG, there are still several worthy contenders in the segment.<iframe width="1425" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vRR-HQN71v8" title="2025 Tata Altroz Review | Better Than a Compact SUV? | autoX" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>[tabs]

New Tata Sierra SUV Launch Tomorrow; Here's All You Need to Know

Tata Sierra will be launched on 25 November 2025 with petrol and diesel options, bringing back a known SUV name for a new group of Indian buyers.

The Tata Harrier EV was one of the most anticipated contenders in this year’s track day lineup. It scored impressively in categories that matter most for a family SUV – 4/5 for comfort and space, 4/5 for design, and that to, at a really good value. It looks and feels a class above, and the all-wheel-drive system – called ‘quad-wheel drive’ by Tata – adds a promise of go-anywhere capability to this luxurious and tech-laden SUV. Inside, the cabin wows with a stunning 14.53-inch screen, premium dual-tone finishes, and a thoughtfully laid-out interior that left a strong impression on the jury.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/tata-harrierev-first-drive-review-car-reviews-121537/">Tata Harrier.ev First Drive Review - Homegrown Wattage</a>

Performance, however, is where things become complicated. You see, on paper, the QWD version is a beast, with 504Nm of torque and a claimed 0 – 100 km/h sprint time of 6.3 seconds. Off the line, its acceleration is thrilling and intoxicating, while the AWD system ensures that power is delivered cleanly. But on the track, all this disappeared like smoke. It clocked a lap time of 1:14.1 – one of the slowest on the list. The reason? Well, it’s simple – the weight.

The Harrier EV is a big, heavy SUV, and you feel every kilogram the moment you push it hard. On the track, its bulk becomes apparent, and it doesn’t feel confident or composed. Moreover, its soft brakes, vague steering, and top-heavy feel make things difficult around tight corners. The Harrier struggles to use all that power to its advantage, for the chassis simply can’t keep up under stress – it tends to get overwhelmed by the weight. The Harrier EV’s low scores for performance and handling reflect this reality. In short, this isn’t a performance SUV despite what its spec sheet might suggest.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/mahindra-xev-9e-vs-hyundai-creta-ev-vs-tata-harrierev-comparison---circuit-breaker-121955/">Mahindra XEV 9e vs Hyundai Creta EV vs Tata Harrier.ev Comparison - Circuit Breaker</a>

That said, the Harrier EV is a supremely comfortable, high-tech, and spacious long-distance cruiser. Its premium cabin and phenomenal ride quality make it a fantastic place to be in for long journeys. It impressed the jury with its ambition and luxury, but it’s not a car to chase apexes in – it’s more suited for those who like to cruise on the highway in absolute comfort.

Tata Harrier.ev at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

The Tata Harrier EV is a heavy SUV, and its weight shows when pushed. On the track, the bulk becomes clear, and it doesn’t feel fully confident or composed.

In this episode of the autoX Podcast, Kingshuk Dutta and Shivank Bhatt bring to life our October 2025 cover story — “Circuit Breaker.”
On paper, the Tata Harrier.ev is the most powerful, and the Hyundai Creta EV the least. But on the racetrack, the tables turn — dramatically.
Watch as we unpack:

Creta EV vs Harrier.ev vs Mahindra XEV 9e | Family EVs on the Racetrack?! | autoX Podcast

In this episode of the autoX Podcast, Kingshuk Dutta and Shivank Bhatt bring to life our October 2025 cover story — “Circuit Breaker.” On paper, the Tata Harrier.ev is the most powerful, and the Hyundai Creta EV the least. But on the racetrack, the tables turn — dramatically.

If you want to assess a person’s true character, watch how they behave when they’re angry. And if you want to test a vehicle’s engineering credentials, push it to its absolute limits on the track. Believe it or not, it’s only when you drive a machine at the edge of adhesion that its true capabilities, underlying engineering, and limitations are laid bare. And that’s precisely why we took the three seemingly humble family e-SUVs - the Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra XEV 9e, and Tata Harrier.EV - for a day out on the track. Not to see if they can scorch the racetrack with blistering lap times, but to explore, or rather expose, their dynamic capabilities.For this test, we used the shorter 2.1km layout of the BIC, which includes the racetrack’s fast-flowing and technical sections. The job was simple - push these three SUVs to achieve their fastest lap times and see how composed each one feels without falling apart!<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Hyundai-Creta-EV-Side-Profile-1760507379626.webp" alt="Hyundai Creta EV-Side-Profile.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV: The Quiet Evolution</h2>

Of the three contenders here, the Creta is by far the most unassuming EV. Instead of wanting to look otherworldly, it sticks to the tried-and-tested formula of the ICE Creta and is all but indistinguishable from its petrol and diesel siblings. Coming to the technical details, the Creta EV isn’t built on a dedicated electric vehicle platform like the Kona or Ioniq 5. It’s basically your regular Creta that has been re-engineered under the skin to house electric architecture. Consequently, its dimensions are identical to those of the ICE version.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Hyundai-Creta-EV-Front-Three-Quarter-1760507247433.webp" alt="Hyundai Creta EV-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 The only real difference lies in the weight - the Creta EV is around 250 - 300kgs heavier than the diesel Creta (1,265kgs), thanks to a big battery pack mounted in the floor. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, for it results in a lower centre of gravity, which offers it an edge on the racetrack.







Despite being the least powerful (169bhp/255Nm) of the bunch, with the slowest 0 - 100km/h time of 7.9 seconds, the Creta EV posted the fastest lap time of the trio here. Surprising? Absolutely, but also true. And it’s all because of Hyundai’s meticulous engineering and how well each component has been integrated into the vehicle.Also Read: <a href="https://www.autox.com/exclusive-stories/how-has-the-hyundai-creta-remained-so-popular-for-over-10-years-in-india-121996/" target="_blank">How Has the Hyundai Creta Remained So Popular for Over 10 Years in India?</a>The Creta EV is available with two battery pack options - 42kWh and 51.4kWh - which power a motor mounted at the front axle. We tested the latter. The power delivery is seamless. It’s not blistering fast, but there’s a linear progression in the way it builds speed. This also means that the electronics don’t have to work overtime every time you plant your right foot on the A-pedal. Of the three EVs here, the Creta puts the power down in the most efficient manner, period!<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Hyundai-Creta-EV-Steering-Controls-1760507282401.webp" alt="Hyundai Creta EV-Steering-Controls.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 







It’s the same story in the dynamics department. Despite having the least impressive components on its spec sheet - standard dampers, torsion-beam rear axle, and 17-inch wheels - the Creta EV surprisingly offers a well-balanced handling experience. The steering is progressive and feels the most precise and direct of the three during quick direction changes. The body movements are well contained, with minimal body roll, all thanks to its low and heavy build.Sure, the stock tyres do plead for mercy when pushed to the limit of adhesion, but even then, the grip levels are surprisingly impressive. The electronics are the most refined of the trio, never imposing harshly when you hustle the car around corners. To say that the Creta EV exceeded our expectations on the track wouldn’t be an exaggeration.







<h2>Mahindra XEV 9e: Space-age Ballistic</h2>

Mahindra’s new-age EV twins - the BE.6 and XEV 9e - have been making waves ever since they entered the Indian market. While both offerings are flying off the shelves, it’s the XEV that’s a more sensible choice for families, thanks to its more practical approach.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mahindra-XEV-9e-Tata-Harrier.ev-1760507497774.webp" alt="Mahindra XEV 9e-Tata Harrier.ev.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

First things first, unlike the Creta EV or Harrier.EV, the XEV is a ‘born electric’ SUV, which basically means it’s built on a dedicated EV platform (INGLO) rather than a modified ICE platform. The XEV is easily the sportiest-looking SUV here, thanks to its spaceship-inspired coupe design, full of sharp creases and sleek angles. And it’s not just the outer appearance - it has equally impressive sporty credentials underneath.At 4,789mm long with a 2,775mm wheelbase, it’s the longest EV here. It gets independent suspension all around, featuring a multi-link rear setup and semi-active dampers. The XEV is available with two battery pack options - 59kWh and 79kWh. We tested the version with the bigger battery pack, with the motor rated at 282bhp and 380Nm. Unlike the Creta EV, the XEV is driven by the rear wheels. Mahindra claims a 0 - 100km/h time of 6.8 seconds. On paper, the XEV seems to have a clear advantage over the Creta EV, and yet, it turned out to be slightly slower. Why?







Well, there isn’t a single reason. First and foremost is weight - at nearly 2,200kgs, the XEV weighs around 700kgs more than the Creta EV. When driving fast, you can feel its extra mass eat up half its firepower. That said, its acceleration is still brisk and seamless, although it doesn’t feel blisteringly quick as you’d expect from an EV with nearly 300 horses under its hood. In a straight line, it’s faster than the Creta EV for sure, but not by a huge margin.Also Read: <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/mahindra-xuv-9e-be-6-first-drive-review-resetting-the-goal-posts-119546/" target="_blank">Mahindra XUV 9e First Drive Review: Resetting the Goal Posts</a>

Around corners, the XEV’s rear bias and impeccable chassis balance shine through. The handling is taut, and the steering is precise. However, it’s not as wieldy as the Creta. Again, that comes down to its weight and relatively higher centre of gravity. In the XEV, you also feel that its electronics and tyres are fighting harder with the laws of physics to keep the SUV on line. What’s more, the power delivery to the wheels is directly linked to the steering angle - the ESC won’t let the motor unleash its full fury unless the front wheels are pointed straight. So, when you come out of a corner, there’s a bit of waiting before the XEV can slingshot out.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mahindra-XEV-9e-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1760507392335.webp" alt="Mahindra XEV 9e-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 You can take a wider line and use the full width of the track (including kerbs) to cut lap times marginally. And while you’re at it, the BIC’s wide kerbs let you appreciate the supple and absorbent nature of its suspension, which is definitely superior to the Creta’s setup over rough surfaces.







<h2>Tata Harrier.EV: The Big EV Bruiser</h2>

The Harrier.EV isn’t built completely from the ground up like the XEV 9e, although it’s not derived entirely from an ICE version either, like the Creta EV. Instead, its architecture is a bit of a hybrid, featuring the top shell of the ICE Harrier paired with a completely new floor design to house the electric running gear. In terms of length and wheelbase, it’s slightly smaller than the XEV, but it’s substantially wider and taller. And like the Mahindra, it runs independent suspension all around, with frequency-dependent damping (FDD) to keep things composed.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

Now, if you compare the three contenders purely based on their spec sheets, the Harrier.EV comes out on top without a shadow of a doubt. It’s not just the most powerful EV of the bunch, but it also features an AWD setup. But does it dominate the other two when the rubber hits the track?

Let’s look at the actual numbers. The Harrier.EV on test here is the top-of-the-line QWD (quad wheel drive) version, featuring a 75kWh battery pack. It has two motors - an induction unit at the front rated at 156bhp and a PMS motor at the rear rated at 235bhp. The combined system output stands at 309bhp, with a peak torque of 504Nm. Tata claims it can clock 0 - 100km/h in 6.3 seconds, which is believable given the figures.In terms of outright performance and acceleration, the Harrier feels the most urgent. And since it’s the tallest and heaviest EV of the bunch - the QWD variant tips the scales at over 2,300kgs - it’s subjected to higher g-forces, or at least that’s how it feels. Thanks to its AWD system, it’s got superb traction and launches off the line in the most sure-footed manner.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

However, life gets troubling for the Harrier.EV the moment you hit a corner, especially at racetrack speeds. Like the Mahindra, this Tata is a heavy bruiser, and given its high centre of gravity and weight, pushing it to the limits immediately turns into a wrestling match with the laws of motion. Around the fast and flowing corners of the short loop of the BIC, the Harrier.EV struggled to put its power down neatly. It tends to understeer as soon as you step on the A-pedal mid-corner, while the electronics frantically try to shuffle power between all four wheels.

Part of the blame also lay with the tyres of our test car, as they weren’t in good nick. However, given the mass and the stupendous acceleration forces these tyres have to deal with, it’s hardly surprising.

The Harrier.EV’s electronics, too, feel the most intrusive, cutting power abruptly and making it difficult to get into a rhythm when doing back-to-back laps. Again, more than anything, it’s a direct fight with physics. The Harrier.EV has to deal with so much weight and inertia that it’s impossible to get a clean and tidy lap time. What also doesn’t help is its rather vague steering - it doesn’t feel as consistent or progressive as the Creta’s or the XEV’s.

Although in comparison to the XEV, the electronics are a little more lenient and don’t sap the power completely at the slightest steering angle. When it comes to shedding speed, the Harrier.EV’s all-disc braking setup offers immense retardation force, although a slightly more progressive pedal feel would have been better.

All in all, all these inconsistencies resulted in the Harrier.EV posting the slowest lap time, despite being the most potent contender on paper.

<h2>Creta EV vs XEV 9e vs Harrier.ev Verdict - Balance Beats Power</h2>

As mentioned in the beginning, this test was purely meant to assess the dynamic capabilities of these three family SUVs, which means it’s not a usual comprehensive comparison where we talk about aspects like practicality, comfort, space, driving range, value-for-money, and so on. However, if there’s one thing this track test proved, it’s that spec sheets don’t always paint the actual picture. You see, the Creta EV may not have the biggest numbers or the most exotic hardware, but it feels the most cohesive and confidence-inspiring when pushed to the limit. On the other hand, the Mahindra XEV 9e impresses with its dedicated new-age EV platform, but its sheer mass and overly cautious electronics rob it of some of the thrill it promises. The Harrier.EV, meanwhile, is the most powerful and ambitious of the three, yet it’s let down by its weight and intrusive electronics.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

In the end, this track test proves that while outright numbers may get you the bragging rights, what truly sets a benchmark is the right balance and execution.Also Read: <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/maruti-suzuki-grand-vitara-vs-kia-seltos-vs-vw-taigun-vs-mg-zs-ev-comparison-112187/" target="_blank">Grand Vitara Hybrid vs Seltos Diesel vs Taigun Petrol vs ZS EV</a>

Not too long ago, the idea of a homegrown electric SUV that could rival international luxury brands in terms of performance, technology, and sheer desirability seemed like a distant dream. But here we are, under the overcast skies of Delhi, staring at Tata’s new Harrier.ev. A dream realised, or just a clever illusion?The Harrier name has always carried weight and now, with the Harrier.ev, specifically the top-spec Empowered QWD 75 kWh variant, Tata is making bold claims – sportscar-like performance, go-anywhere ability, a 600-km range, and indulgent luxury. Can it deliver on all fronts and truly redefine what a premium electric SUV means in India? We set out to find out.

 
 
 
 


<h2>Tata Harrier.ev Design - Familiar Face, Electric Heart</h2>

At first glance, the Harrier.ev is instantly familiar, retaining the strong, muscular silhouette of its internal combustion engine (ICE) sibling. Look closer, though, and its electric personality comes into focus. The most noticeable change is the closed-off front grille, paired with a sleek, connected LED DRL that stretches across the width of the car, giving it a sharp, futuristic appearance. The 19-inch alloy wheels feature aero inserts, while discreet ‘.ev’ badges are the final nod to its electric identity. It’s a handsome evolution.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tata-Harrier-EV-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1755511654490.webp" alt="Tata Harrier EV-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Step inside, and the premium feel carries through. This Empowered trim, with its light-coloured dual-tone cabin, feels airy and upmarket. Tata also offers different interior themes across variants – from sporty all-black to elegant bronze – adding a welcome dose of personalisation. The dashboard is dominated by a striking 14.53-inch Harman infotainment system powered by Samsung’s Neo QLED display tech, delivering crisp visuals and rich features. Alongside it sits a 10.25-inch digital cockpit, together creating an environment that feels thoroughly modern. But for many Indian buyers, the real star of the show will be the rear seat experience. With features like powered Boss Mode to maximise legroom, rear sunshades, comfort headrests, and two 65W fast-charging ports, it easily doubles as a space fit for chauffeur-driven owners.

 
 
 
 


<h2>Tata Harrier.ev Performance &amp; Handling</h2>

This is where the Harrier.ev truly distances itself from both its predecessor and its rivals. The QWD (Quad-Wheel Drive) version uses a dual-motor setup, delivering 504Nm of torque to all four wheels. The result? A claimed 0 – 100 km/h time of just 6.3 seconds.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tata-Harrier-EV-Front-Three-Quarter-1755511714063.webp" alt="Tata Harrier EV-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 From behind the wheel, that performance is intoxicating – the Harrier.ev feels every bit as quick as the numbers suggest. Where the diesel Harrier feels sluggish off the line, the EV responds with an immediate, brisk bite. Step on the accelerator in Boost mode, and it surges forward with an urgency that pins you to your seat.

 
 
 
 


But it’s not just about raw acceleration. The power delivery is linear, and the chassis feels planted and composed, giving you a strong sense of control. The only letdown in terms of handling is the steering, which feels numb and vague at both low and high speeds, somewhat marring the overall drive experience.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Tata-Harrier-EV-Rear-View-1755511744286.webp" alt="Tata Harrier EV-Rear View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

An equally impressive chassis complement this newfound performance. Ride quality is phenomenal; the car stays calm and composed, gliding over bumps and potholes that would unsettle lesser vehicles. Yet this focus on comfort doesn’t come at the expense of agility. The Harrier.ev feels remarkably balanced around corners. The all-wheel-drive system provides immense grip, letting you hold your line without any drama. The brakes – a sore point in its ICE-powered sibling – have been improved, now offering the strong stopping power needed to rein in this electric powerhouse. That said, they still feel a bit soft under hard emergency braking.

<h2>Tata Harrier.ev Review Conclusion</h2>

The Tata Harrier.ev blends explosive performance and a luxurious, tech-packed cabin with the kind of ride comfort and practicality Indian families expect. With its potent dual-motor setup, long list of features, and well-balanced ride quality, the Harrier.ev is a new high for Indian-made luxury EVs. In fact, it’s a genuine contender capable of challenging the best in the premium SUV space. The only challenge Tata Motors must address is ensuring quality control and delivering consistent, top-tier after-sales service.
