Tata Motors is redefining the in-car entertainment and electric SUV experience with the launch of the Tata Harrier EV, which now features Dolby Atmos premium sound technology, a segment-first offering aimed at elevating the cabin experience to a whole new level. This technological upgrade comes through a collaboration with Dolby Laboratories, further enhancing the Harrier EV’s premium credentials.
Dolby Atmos Meets Harman JBL in Harrier EV
Tata has partnered with Dolby Laboratories, Inc. to integrate Dolby Atmos audio into the Harrier.ev through a Harman JBL Black sound system. The system includes a suite of four 6.5-inch speakers, four tweeters strategically placed on the doors, mid-range speakers on the dashboard, and a powerful subwoofer housed in the boot area. Backed by an 8-channel amplifier, this setup offers a cinema-like auditory experience inside the car.
Users can access music and podcasts mixed in Dolby Atmos directly from supported apps like Gaana and Audible, available via the Arcade.ev infotainment platform integrated in the SUV’s dashboard.
Powertrain and Range Options
The Harrier EV is offered with two battery pack options: a 65 kWh and a 75 kWh unit, both supporting different drivetrain configurations. The entry-level 65 kWh model is available in three trims—Adventure, Adventure S, and Fearless+—while the larger 75 kWh battery powers the Fearless+, Empowered RWD, and Empowered QWD variants.
The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) trims are equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMS), delivering 238 PS of power and 315 Nm of torque. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) models go a step further by combining an induction motor at the front with a rear PMS motor, producing a combined torque of 504 Nm.
Tata claims a real-world driving range of up to 505 km on a single charge, making the Harrier EV one of the most capable electric SUVs in its class.
Off-Road Credentials and Terrain Modes
The QWD variants have been engineered for demanding terrain, offering a 600 mm water wading capacity and a 47% gradeability, giving them legitimate off-roading capabilities. These top trims also include six terrain modes, such as Snow/Grass, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, and a Custom setting, alongside standard Eco, City, Sport, and Boost drive modes.
Lower trims also offer Normal, Wet, and Rough terrain modes, ensuring that even the more affordable models maintain versatility.
Design and Technology Upgrades
Built on the brand’s Acti.ev+ platform, the Harrier EV is a five-seater electric SUV that balances ruggedness with sophistication. Among its standout features is a segment-first QLED touchscreen infotainment display, which serves as the central interface for controls, navigation, entertainment, and the Arcade.ev app store.
On the safety front, Tata Motors has left no stone unturned. Standard safety features across all variants include six airbags, all-disc brakes, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Pricing and Variants
The Tata Harrier EV is priced from ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base model and goes up to ₹30.23 lakh for the top-end Stealth Edition. The Stealth Edition is available in four trims: Empowered 75, Empowered 75 ACFC, Empowered QWD 75, and Empowered QWD 75 ACFC.
