Tata Motors has stormed into the premium electric vehicle arena with the Harrier.ev, India’s first homegrown all-wheel-drive (AWD) electric SUV, and the market’s response has been electric. Freshly leaked documents reveal that the overwhelming demand for this trailblazing SUV has led to wait times stretching up to 30 weeks—over seven months—for some variants, signaling a seismic shift in India’s EV segment.
High-Demand Variants Face Longest Delays
The Adventure 65 and Adventure 65 ACFC trims are stealing the spotlight, with eager buyers facing the steepest wait times of 28 to 30 weeks. These rugged, feature-packed models have clearly struck a chord with adventure-seekers. Close behind, the Adventure S 65 and Adventure S 65 ACFC variants carry wait periods of 18 to 21 weeks—roughly four to five months—while mid-tier Fearless+ models, including the 65, 65 ACFC, 75, and 75 ACFC, mirror this 18-to-21-week delay, reflecting robust demand across Tata’s electrified lineup.
Top-Tier Empowered Variants Offer Quicker Access
For those unwilling to endure the long haul, the premium Empowered variants provide a faster track to ownership, with wait times of 12 to 15 weeks—around three to three-and-a-half months. This lineup includes the Empowered 75, Empowered ST 75, Empowered 75 ACFC, Empowered ST 75 ACFC, and AWD-equipped models like the Empowered AWD 75 and AWD ST 75 FC. However, delivery timelines may still fluctuate depending on region, dealership stock, and production schedules.
Power and Price That Pack a Punch
Priced between ₹21.49 lakh and ₹30.23 lakh (ex-showroom), the Harrier.ev is a formidable player in India’s burgeoning electric SUV segment. It offers two battery packs—65 kWh for range enthusiasts and 75 kWh for performance lovers—delivering versatility and value. The dual-motor setup churns out 155.8 hp from the front motor and a robust 234.7 hp from the rear, ensuring dynamic AWD capability for urban streets and rugged trails alike.
Engineered for Every Journey
Tata has infused the Harrier.ev with six tailored driving modes—Sand, Snow, Rock, Mud/Ruts, Normal, and Custom—that dynamically adjust torque and suspension for seamless handling across diverse terrains. Whether navigating city traffic or conquering off-road challenges, this SUV is built to adapt and excel.
A Beacon of India’s EV Revolution
The Harrier.ev’s staggering wait times underscore its runaway success and the growing appetite for premium electric SUVs in India. As Tata Motors continues to innovate, the Harrier.ev stands as a bold testament to the nation’s automotive evolution—a fusion of cutting-edge technology, rugged versatility, and sustainable mobility that’s redefining the road ahead.
