The Tata Harrier EV is finally here. Or at least the rear-wheel drive version is. After months of teasers, show appearances and speculative WhatsApp forwards, Tata has lifted the lid on prices for the RWD variants of its all-electric flagship SUV. Prices start at ₹21.49 lakh and top out at ₹27.49 lakh, ex-showroom. That’s a full ₹3 lakh less than its nearest rival, the Mahindra XUV 9e.
Tata has confirmed that all-wheel drive pricing will follow on June 27. Bookings officially open on July 2, which gives you just enough time to figure out which variant name means what.
Tata Harrier EV RWD Prices (Ex-showroom)
| Variant | Battery | Price |

| Adventure 65 | 65 kWh | ₹21.49 lakh |
| Adventure S 65 | 65 kWh | ₹21.99 lakh |

| Fearless+ 75 | 75 kWh | ₹24.99 lakh |

What’s Underneath?
The RWD Harrier EV is powered by a single motor producing 238 bhp and 350 Nm. The 75 kWh variant offers a claimed range of up to 627 km (MIDC). If that seems a bit optimistic, remember this is lab-tested range, not real-world hill station traffic range.
AWD versions, once revealed, will pack an additional front motor making 158 bhp. Combined output will stand at 396 bhp and 504 Nm, which is fairly brisk for a five-seat electric SUV.
Kit Count
It’s loaded. There’s a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, ventilated and powered front seats, JBL 10-speaker audio, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected car features, ambient lighting, digital key, dual-zone climate control and a boss mode for the rear seat that sounds vaguely tyrannical.
In terms of safety, there are 7 airbags, ESC, TPMS, auto-hold, Level 2 ADAS, auto-park assist, summon mode and a 540-degree camera system. Yes, 540, not a typo.
Should You Wait?
If you’re holding out for the AWD version, that’s sensible. But for most daily drivers, the RWD version offers more than enough grunt and range. The ₹3 lakh advantage over the Mahindra XUV 9e makes the Harrier EV a very strong contender.
Yes, there’s also the BYD Atto 3. But this looks better in pictures, feels more familiar inside and probably has a better charging network when Tata’s done updating it.
The Harrier EV RWD is not revolutionary, but it’s comprehensive, well-priced and largely sensible. Which, in today’s EV landscape, is a rare thing indeed.
