Tata is not far behind Hyundai in launching their new EV’s, the manufacturer has been testing their new Harrier EV to be ready of the expected launch of the vehicle soon. In a recent news the Harrier EV was seen being driven around in a test track in Coimbatore.

The vehicle was seen being driven around quite vigorously at the CoASTT high performance center.

Harrier EV 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.

Tata has a unique EV architecture that allows them to mount the battery packs down low in the car chassis giving the vehicle a low center of gravity. Such a low center of gravity helps the vehicle perform better and have a balanced drive. The low center of gravity along with the instantaneous torque of the EV motors would give the car the ability to function well.

The Dual Motor Setup

The perfromance spec of the vehicle is expected to be quite higher than any existing Harrier EV. Tata has been planning to launch a significant competitor to any of the EV’s currently available in the market. As per speculations the car would be able to go against the likes of XEV9e which boasts a performance spec of around 268 PS and 380 NM of Torque. 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. Tata has imagined to provide the market with a vehicle like no other. Asper the speculated news it has also been established that the vehicle would have new sophisticated terrain response system with upto six modes this time around.

New Terrain Response system and Modes

The vehicle would have new rotary dial to choose between different terrain response systems and other modes that would allow the vehicle the easily drive along some of the most toughest terrains. The vehicle would have modes such as Normal, Snow, Mud&Ruts and Sand and Desert.

New Look of the Tata Harrier EV

The new Tata EV would not be completely dissimilar to ICE Harrier, the car would have a new front fascia and design distinctions that are often seen on the EV versions of ICE cars. The interior of the vehicle would be quite similar to that of the existing Harrier.

Other Expected Launches from Tata- Sierra EV

Sierra is a name etched in history, it was one of the first vehicles that Tata started mass producing in India. Tata has been in the talks of reimagining and bringing a newer variant of the Sierra for a long time. But now it seems that the brand would launch a EV version of the vehicle first than a ICE variant as well. The powertrain as well as the battery pack of the vehicle are still to be disclosed, no information has been released about them as of yet. Its possible that the vehicle might have the same powertrain as that of the Harrier EV.

As per the rendering of the vehicle it has been established that it would still have the iconic design cues of the original Tata Sierra. It would have a large glass area at the back as the older sierra did.

Powertrain Options of The Tata Sierra EV

The New Sierra EV is expected to be launched with a All Wheel Drive variant of the vehicle and a Rear Wheel Drive variant. While the battery specifications remains to be undisclosed the vehicle is being expected to have a driving range of around 500 km.
