Tata Nexon [2017-2020]

Spacious and comfortable cabin

<p>The Nexon looks quite compact from the outside but on the inside, it has a lot offer, especially in terms of seating comfort and space at the rear. It is the ideal car for long journeys and there is plenty of space in the boot as well for luggage of five people.</p>


System settings reset after call on Bluetooth

<p>I am not sure if this fault can be rectified by an update or laptop diagnosis, but it is certainly annoying. Every time after receiving and ending a call when the phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth, the music settings, like the equalizer levels, are reset. I have to go into the menu to set them all over again. Will have it checked out at the workshop during my next visit.</p>


Music system and touch screen are very good

<p>The Harman music system on the XZ+ variant is by far the best quality system I have come across in a car of this price range. Even the touchscreen is smooth to use, does not hang and the resolution is also decent. Overall, it makes the car feel quite premium.</p>

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.

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>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.</p><p>
      <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>
    </p><p>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.</p>







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

<p>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.</p><p>
      <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>
    </p><p>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.</p>







<p>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.</p><p>
      <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>
    </p><p>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.</p>







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

<p>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.</p><p>
      <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>
    </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p><p>
      <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>
    </p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p><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><p>[tabs]</p>

Tata Altroz Facelift First Drive Review - Still Got the Juice?

It’s not often you see a new hatchback in 2025, let alone one powered by diesel. But Tata has refreshed the Altroz, and we have driven both the diesel and CNG versions to see if it still delivers.

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.

<p>
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.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><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></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><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></p>

<p>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.

<p>In this episode of the autoX Podcast, Kingshuk Dutta and Shivank Bhatt bring to life our October 2025 cover story — “Circuit Breaker.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Watch as we unpack:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Why the Creta EV emerged quickest around the BIC short loop</li><li>How weight and chassis tuning beat brute power</li><li>The role of electronics and drivetrain setup</li><li>What this means for India’s next generation of family EVs</li>

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.

<p>
    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.</p><p>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!</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

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

<p>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.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

    <p>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.</p>







<p>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.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong> <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></p><p>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!</p><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>
    







<p>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.</p><p>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.</p>







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

<p>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.</p><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>
    

<p>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.</p><p>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?</p>







<p>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.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong> <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></p>

<p>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.</p><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>
    <p>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.</p>







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

<p>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.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Tata-Harrier-EV-1760507486406.webp" alt="Tata Harrier EV.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>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?</p>

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Tata-Harrier-EV-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1760507506859.webp" alt="Tata Harrier EV-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    







<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

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

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

<p>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.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Mahindra-XEV-9e-vs-Hyundai-Creta-EV-vs-Tata-Harrier-4-1760507520590.webp" alt="Mahindra XEV 9e vs Hyundai Creta EV vs Tata Harrier-4.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>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.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong> <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></p>

Notably, the recently introduced Empowered+ A trim, which includes Level-2 ADAS, ambient lighting, and other features, is available solely with the Tata Nexon EV 45kWh battery pack.

<p>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?</p><p>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.</p>

      
    
      
    


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

<p>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.</p><p>
      <br></p><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>
    <p><br></p><p>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.</p>

      
    
      
    


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

<p>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.</p><p>
      <br></p><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>
    <p><br></p><p>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.</p>

      
    
      
    


<p>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.</p><p>
      <br></p><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>
    

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>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.</p><p>

Tata Harrier.ev First Drive Review - Homegrown Wattage

The Tata Harrier is born again with an electric heart instead of horses under the hood. Is this iteration its true calling?

<p>The all-electric Tata Harrier.ev is finally here — and it promises up to 622km of range from its 75kWh AWD variant. But how much does it actually deliver in the real world?</p>

Tata Harrier.ev Real-World Range Test - How Close to the Claimed 622km Can You Get? | autoX

The all-electric Tata Harrier.ev is finally here — and it promises up to 622km of range from its 75kWh AWD variant. But how much does it actually deliver in the real world?

<p>The Kia Carens Clavis EV and Tata Harrier EV represent two distinctly different approaches to electric mobility in India. The Carens Clavis, the country’s first indigenously manufactured 7-seater electric MPV, is priced from Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and offers up to 490 km of range from a 51.4kWh battery. It delivers 169bhp and 255Nm of torque, achieving 0-100km/h in 8.4 seconds. In contrast, the Tata Harrier EV, starting at Rs 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom), is a premium 5-seater SUV available with 65kWh and 75kWh battery options, delivering a claimed range of up to 627 km. It also offers an optional dual-motor AWD setup producing 504Nm, with a 0-100km/h sprint time of 6.3 seconds. This comparison explores how they differ in specs, performance, and everyday usability.</p><h2>Kia Carens Clavis EV vs Tata Harrier EV Spec Comparison: Price</h2><p>The Kia Carens Clavis EV is offered in four variants: HTK+, HTX, HTX ER, and HTX+ ER, with prices starting at Rs 17.99 lakh and going up to Rs 24.49 lakh for the fully loaded model.</p><p>

Kia Carens Clavis EV vs Tata Harrier EV Spec Comparison: What's Different?

This comparison between the Kia Carens Clavis EV and Tata Harrier EV explores how they differ in specs, performance, and everyday usability.

<p><strong>Adding to the impressive package that the Nexon already is, Tata Motor will soon launch the car with an AMT option - both, for its petrol and diesel engine options.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>It’s no secret that India ranks at the top among the fastest growing automotive markets in the world. This surely brings a lot of excitement for enthusiasts as we get introduced to new products and manufacturers year after year. But there’s a downside to it too. You see, India has achieved this feat primarily on the basis sales numbers – after all, that’s the endgame for every business function. Over the last year or so, an average of more than 2.5 lakh cars are sold in India every month – a good chunk of these are concentrated in the metros and Tier II towns. In fact, it won’t be too bold to say that roads aren’t being built as fast as cars are getting sold in the country – and the aftermath is traffic. In such conditions, automatic cars are gradually becoming the weapon of choice for car buyers. Add to that, our innate love for SUVs and what you need is a compact offering with a two-pedal setup. Of course, where there is demand, supply follows closely. Tata is all set to introduce the Nexon with AMT option for its petrol as well as diesel engines. We take them both for a spin to find out how they drive.</p>

<p><img alt="Tata Nexon Amt Review Interior Dashboard M" height="335" src="/uploads/2020/01/tata-nexon-amt-review-interior-dashboard-m.jpg" width="642" /></p>

<p><b>‘box talks</b></p>

<p>Before we get into the details of the new AMT ‘box, let’s first get the engine specifications out of the way. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/tata-nexon-review-first-drive/">Tata Nexon</a> will continue to be plonked with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol and a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel motor. While both these engines make 108bhp, the diesel, of course, produces more torque – 260Nm in comparison to 170Nm in the petrol. Both these engines come paired with the same 6-speed AMT which shifts in a very unobjectionable manner. Upshifts are somewhat smooth but undeniably slow. There is also that typical AMT head jerk when the car is driven in the D mode, but it sure is a lot better contained than some of the other AMTs in the business. Just like the manual transmission Nexon, this one too comes with three drive modes – Eco, City, and Sport. The shift jerks are a lot more controlled in the Eco and the City in comparison to the Sport mode. That being said, the AMT box also features a Tiptronic option that essentially allows you to take control of shifting gears. Slot the lever in M by pushing it to the left and the car automatically shifts to the Sport mode. When taking matters into your own hands, upshifts are noticeably less jerky. The Nexon also features the creep and hill-assist function, both of which make driving it that much simpler. &nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Tata Nexon AMT Static" src="/uploads/2018/04/tata-nexon-amt-review-static-m1.jpg" /></p>

<p>Coming back to the engine, when we first got our hands on the Nexon petrol MT, we found it to be sluggish in its low-range. The setback is highlighted even further when paired with this AMT. In fact, on more than a few occasions, we felt some engine knocking when picking up from standstill. Shorter ratios on the petrol don’t quite help ease things either. Thanks to oodles of torque on offer and slightly taller ratios, this isn’t the case with the diesel. In fact, of the two options, even in the AMT iterations, the diesel feels more tractable. However, in both cars, the top gear only engages at speeds of 80km/h or over, depending on the mode you are in and the throttle inputs.</p>

<p>In terms of ride and handling, the Nexon is just as we remember it from before. Ride quality is absolutely amazing – small and medium-sized potholes don’t quite upset the Nexon. Over some of the larger bumps though, the Nexon does tend to bottom out. We were pleasantly surprised with the way the Nexon performs over a series of twisties. Body roll is limited and the grip from the 215 section tyres is good too. it may not be the most fun car to drive in its class, but it sure does keep you engaged.</p>

<p><img alt="2018 Tata Nexon AMT Grille Bumper" src="/uploads/2018/04/tata-nexon-amt-review-grille-bumper-m3.jpg" /></p>

<p><b>Design Discussion</b></p>

<p>The Nexon has been around in the market for over a year and even today it grabs a lot of eyeballs thanks to its unconventional design. Of course, except for the badge at the back, the AMT looks identical to the manual transmission versions. Tata will be introducing what they call as ‘imaginator’. This feature essentially allows buyers to experiment with different customisable designs before making a pick. From seat covers to mats, buyers will be able to choose from a long list of customisation options.</p>

<p><img alt="New Tata Nexon AMT Badge" src="/uploads/2018/04/tata-nexon-amt-review-badge-m.jpg" /></p>

<p><b>Verdict:</b></p>

<p>The Tata Nexon isn’t a car that you immediately fall in love with – but does tick all the boxes in a very likable and neutral way. As far as the AMT versions are concerned, they may not be ideal for spirited driving, but it does the job of offering convenience rather well. And then it also has the advantage of being the only diesel AMT in its class. Tata will launch the Nexon AMTs sometime next month. Considering the cost-effectiveness of an AMT, we expect it to be priced aggressively and won’t be surprised if it undercuts the EcoSport be a considerable margin. Tata has always nailed the value equation and they seem to be on track to do it again with the Nexon AMTs.&nbsp;</p>

Tata Nexon AMT Review, First Drive

Automatic cars are now the mainstream choice of an urban commuter. The Tata Nexon AMT is the latest entrant to receive the automatic treatment. We get behind the wheel of the petrol and diesel Nexon AMT, for our extensive review.

<p><em><strong>Will the Nexon be the game changer, not only for the compact-SUV segment but also for Tata Motors? We find out.&nbsp;</strong></em></p>

<p>It’s an open secret that we, Indians, love SUVs. That’s the reason why this segment has been growing by leaps and bounds, especially the compact SUVs. Their volumes have actually increased five times in the last 4 years. No wonder there’s been a slew of compact SUV launches in the last couple of years and the future of this segment looks even brighter as many more manufacturers will soon be joining the party. One automobile manufacturer that has been creating a buzz since the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo is Tata Motors when they showcased the Nexon concept car. With a lot anticipation, even though there were some serious doubts whether the production version would be able to retain the concept’s design elements, we were happy to see that Tata Motors stuck to the original concept’s looks as we got the keys to drive the production ready under 4-metre SUV, which will hit the roads before the festive season this year.</p>

<p>Without a doubt this is one crowded segment with the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza leading the pack, the Ford EcoSport still doing decent numbers, the new kid on block Honda WR-V making its presence felt and with Hyundai soon to join in, Tata Motors have their work cut out. &nbsp;For starters, the Nexon does manage to stand out with its aerodynamic coupe-like design, unlike its competition, which looks boxy miniature version of full-sized traditional SUVs. Based on Tata Motors new design language, IMPACT, the Nexon certainly is refreshing and one of the most dynamic vehicles in its class.</p>

<p><strong>Coupe-like exteriors</strong></p>

<p><img alt="Tata Nexon Side Profile" src="/uploads/2017/07/tata-nexon-side-profile.jpg" style="height:336px; width:642px" /></p>

<p>When it comes to exteriors, an SUV must have a commanding driving position and an imposing road presence - the Nexon ticks both these criteria. It gets a big honeycomb grille mesh that gives it a butch look, which beautifully compliments the sleek projector headlights with day time running lamps (DRLs). The fog lamps come with eye brow-like accents which the Nexon could have done without. As mentioned earlier, the coupe silhouette adds the funky design element to the Nexon while the broad shoulder lines running across the doors add more muscle. Coming to its tall stance, the Nexon boasts of 209mm of ground clearance, which is the best in the segment, and the meaty 215/60 R16 tyres with 16-inch alloys add to the overall height of this SUV.</p>

<p><strong>Plush interiors</strong></p>

<p>The cabin is all new, which is a good thing, as the build quality is right up there with the competition and so is the fit-and-finish. I have never been a big fan of beige interiors, therefore, I liked the smart looking black and dull white combination, although maintenance could be a problem. &nbsp;What clearly stands out is the Harman infotainment system’s 6.5-inch floating touchscreen, which is connected to an 8 speaker surround system. The sound quality is impressive as each and every note was crystal clear. Tata could have opted for a bit more vibrant colours for its display, but apart from that, the interface was very intuitive and easy to use. It is currently equipped with Android Auto, but Tata Motors has promised to introduce Apple CarPlay very soon.</p>

<p><img alt="Tata Nexon Interior" src="/uploads/2017/07/Tata-Nexon-interior.jpg" style="height:336px; width:642px" /></p>

<p>Coming to the cabin, it feels spacious and according to Tata Motors, the Nexon comes with 31 utility spaces including handy little umbrella slots designed in the front doors and a sliding tambour door in the centre console. It also comes with 3 driving modes – Eco, City and Sport – and this nob is neatly tucked below the gear stick. The Sport mode actually makes the diesel engine more engaging to drive as it revs freely. We will get to that bit later. The Nexon also comes with a fairly spacious boot which offers 350 litres of space. Thanks to a 60:40 ratio split rear seats, the luggage space can be increased to 690 litres once the seats are folded completely.</p>

<p><strong>Rev or rant?</strong></p>

<p>The Nexon is powered by two new engines. Well, technically it uses the Tigor’s 1.2-litre three-cylinder Revotron petrol motor, but it now comes fitted with a turbocharger. It boasts of 108bhp of power and 170Nm of torque and is mated to a new 6-speed transmission. The powertrain certainly felt a lot more refined than the Tigor’s, but it’s the midrange where the Nexon starts to pick up space. Below the 2500rpm mark, the compact SUV feels slightly sluggish. The gear stick, unfortunately, felt vague and didn’t slot in easily, especially when you try to put it in reverse.</p>

<p><img alt="Tata Nexon Side Profile Dynamic" src="/uploads/2017/07/tata-nexon-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="height:336px; width:642px" /></p>

<p>The diesel variant, on the other hand, is the more fun option and is powered by an all-new 1.5-litre powertrain, which is based on the Tigor’s 1.05-litre engine. Tata has finally said goodbye to Fiat’s 1.3-litre Multijet diesel engine. The new turbocharged diesel motor also produces 108bhp but has a higher torque rating of 260Nm and is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. This motor offers a refined and linear pick up without any turbo lag, which is very impressive. The power is well spread out in low, mid and top range.</p>

<p>Both the petrol and the diesel offer three driving modes – Eco, City and Sport. While the first mode is all about conservative driving, thereby, ensuring a high fuel economy, the City mode is apt for your day-to-day drive in the city and offers decent power. But it’s the Sport mode that actually makes the engine quite engaging to drive, especially the diesel engine thanks to its healthy 260Nm of torque.</p>

<p><strong>Ride and handling</strong></p>

<p>I hate getting all technical, but in this case, I must say that Tata got the suspension setup spot-on. The independent McPherson strut with coil spring at the front and the semi-independent twist beam with coil spring at the rear soak up any pothole or broken tarmac you throw at it. It is soft enough to provide a very comfortable ride, but at the same time not too soft to make you feel nauseous. I think it can be safely said that the Nexon has the plushest ride quality in its segment.</p>

<p>Coming to handling, this compact SUV managed to surprise us even further. It was hugging the tarmac while taking turns as body roll was down to bare minimum. It isn’t in the league of the Brezza, but the Nexon still exuberates a lot of confidence in the corners. In terms of braking, the disc (front) and drum (rear) combination manage to ensure that the SUV comes to a full halt quickly. The Nexon comes with ABS as standard.</p>

<p><strong>Verdict</strong></p>

<p>The Tata Nexon is a decent sub-4metre SUV, which comes with a spacious cabin, fully loaded with features like a fitness band which works as the car key, floating 6.5-inch infotainment system, safety features like dual front air bags and ISOFIX child car seats and excellent ride quality. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is ideal for city commuting while the 1.5-litre diesel is the more engaging motor to opt for. So will the Nexon be able to create a storm in the compact SUV segment? Well it all depends on how well Tata Motors price it.</p>
