Tata Harrier EV Spotted Testing in India Ahead of Launch Next Year

The Tata Harrier EV has been spotted performing road tests in Ladakh before its launch in 2025. The test mule has alloy wheels, identical to the concept that was revealed at the auto show last year. Design-wise, the SUV will be largely similar to its ICE counterpart except for some EV-specific elements like a blanked-off grille and.ev badging on the fenders. The manufacturer may change the style of the front and rear bumpers for a more EV-like look. While it is too soon to talk about the price, industry speculations suggest that the electric Harrier may cost around 30 lakh (ex-showroom). It could be a premium alternative to the Hyundai Kona Electric and the MG ZS EV.
