Bharat Mobility Expo: Tata Motors has showcased its new Harrier EV Concept at this week's Bharat Mobility Expo 2024 in New Delhi. The Expo is scheduled to be held between February 1 and 3. The production-spec Tata Harrier EV is expected to go on sale later this year in the country; however, official details are yet to be revealed. To refresh your memory, the Tata Harrier EV concept made its public appearance for the first time at the Auto Expo 2023, which also had the Sierra EV concept, the Curvv ICE concept, and the Avinya concept on display. The Harrier EV sits on Tata's Gen 2 EV architecture, acti.ev, which also underpins the newly launched Tata Punch.ev. The new architecture, in combination with the Omega platform used by the internal combustion engine-powered SUV, incorporates an all-wheel-drive setup and cabin modifications.

Up front, the EV gets a blanked-off grille, the same split headlight setup housing a new set of DRLs, and a reworked bumper with new creases. In profile, the EV sports distinctive alloy wheels, flush door handles, and ‘.EV’ badging on the fenders. At the rear, it has a redesigned bumper, linked LED tail lamps, and a new LED light bar.
Tata Harrier EV Concept: Interior
On the inside, expect the five-seater Harrier EV to feature a large touchscreen infotainment system with connected car technology and OTA updates. Other bits include ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) and a 360-degree camera for safety.
Tata Showcases These Models As Well
In addition, the Nexon i-CNG and the Curvv SUV have also been exhibited on the first day of the Bharat Mobility Expo. The former comes powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine connected to a factory-installed twin-cylinder CNG kit, while the latter gets a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, diesel engine that churns out 113bhp and 260Nm of torque. Both models are expected to go on sale this year.
