With the launch of the new Harrier EV and the already-on-sale Curvv EV, Tata Motors now offers two distinctive electric SUVs that reflect different design philosophies and use cases. Though both share the Gen 2 EV architecture and come loaded with modern tech, their appeal lies in unique packaging. The Harrier EV stands tall as a robust, traditional SUV meant for spacious travel and tougher road conditions. Meanwhile, the Curvv EV sports a sleek, futuristic coupe profile with urban agility in mind. From design and performance to battery specs and interior features, this detailed comparison highlights all the ways these two EVs set themselves apart in Tata’s growing electric portfolio.
The Harrier EV transforms the rugged look of the diesel model by incorporating electric-specific design elements. It replaces the open grille with a sealed front, introduces redesigned bumpers, and uses aerodynamic wheels to improve efficiency. Developed on Tata’s latest Gen 2 EV platform, the vehicle balances its familiar, robust shape with a modern electric vehicle style.

Coming to the Curvv EV, it features a modern and elegant coupe-inspired SUV styling, with door handles that sit flush to the body, stylish 18-inch alloy wheels with a unique pattern, and a smoothly angled roofline. Its powered tailgate and sleek LED daytime running lights further elevate its premium and refined appearance.
The Tata Harrier EV is priced from Rs 21.49 lakh, positioning it as a more affordable option compared to the BYD Atto 3, which ranges between Rs 24.99 lakh and Rs 33.99 lakh.
Meanwhile, the Tata Curvv EV starts at Rs 17.49 lakh, with the battery included in the price. The fully loaded variant is priced at Rs 21.99 lakh. All mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures.
The Harrier EV is built on an enhanced version of Tata’s Acti.ev platform and offers two battery options. The base models come with a 65kWh battery paired with a single rear motor delivering 235bhp. Higher trims feature a more powerful setup with dual motors and a larger 75kWh LFP battery, producing a combined output of 390.5bhp and 504Nm of torque through an all-wheel-drive system. Regarding range, the 75kWh variant is rated for up to 627 km under MIDC standards, while Tata’s internal C75 real-world cycle estimates the rear-wheel-drive version can cover between 480 and 505 km.
On the other hand, the Tata Curvv EV is equipped with smaller battery options of 45kWh and 55kWh. The 45kWh pack produces 148bhp, whereas the 55kWh delivers 165bhp, both with 215Nm of torque. Their certified driving ranges are 502 km and 585 km, respectively.
While the Tata Harrier EV’s dashboard closely mirrors that of its internal combustion counterpart, it sets itself apart with an elegant grey-and-white interior theme. It features a redesigned four-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo and a high-end Samsung Neo QLED infotainment screen. Notable amenities include dual-zone climate control, a 10-speaker JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos 5.1, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated powered front seats, and bi-directional charging support through V2L and V2C.
A key highlight is the ‘Summon Mode,’ allowing the car to be moved forward or backward remotely using the key fob. The 360-degree camera includes a Transparent Mode for enhanced off-road visibility. For diverse terrains, the EV offers six driving modes – Normal, Mud Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, Snow/Grass, and Custom – paired with Tata’s Off-Road Assist, which acts like cruise control for off-road conditions.

It includes a range of practical amenities such as a motorised tailgate, wireless charging, electric parking brake (EPB), power-adjustable driver’s seat, an updated key fob, and a push-button start.
The model boasts a voice-controlled panoramic sunroof and a unique four-spoke steering wheel, reminiscent of the Harrier’s, which adds a distinctive touch compared to the simpler two-spoke wheel found in the Nexon EV.
