To be capable of carrying around the massive weight of the battery pack as well as the rear mounted motor for AWD.
Earlier Harrier EV Spotting On The Race Track
The Harrier is not exactly the vehicle that belongs on a race track, often such cars are witnessed while being tested on the highways. But the new EV version of the Tata Harrier EV would possibly have a AWD system that would give it a lot more performance credentials than the outgoing model.

The XEV 9 only has a single motor that powers the rear wheels.
Along with a powerful dual motor setup the vehicle would be provided with a sophisticated multilink suspension in the rear along with a MacPherson Strutt in the front.
