Tata Harrier 2025
Tata Harrier 2025 A Bold Leap into the Future with ICE, Hybrid, and Electric Power.
Tata Motors steps confidently into 2025 by elevating the Harrier to a technology‑rich, safety‑focused, and design‑driven flagship within its SUV portfolio. The Tata Harrier has always symbolized Tata’s premium ambitions, but the 2025 refresh (especially with the Harrier.ev) marks a watershed moment—merging off‑road ruggedness, modern luxury, and future‑ready electric mobility.
2. Bold Exterior Redesign
The 2025 Harrier dons a redesigned front fascia, characterized by a larger, more refined hexagonal grille with complex diamond‑pattern inserts and a split LED headlamp cluster with sleek DRLs—a styling capsule that both commands attention and communicates sophistication.
Other highlights include:
-
Full‑width LED tail lamps with dynamic indicators
-
19‑inch diamond‑cut alloy wheels in select trims
-
A floating panoramic roof, shark‑fin antenna, and crisp roofline
-
Fresh exterior colour schemes like “Aurora Borealis” and stealth‑inspired “Black Shadow” or “Aurora Green” that shift hues under changing light.
3. Interior: Tech meets Comfort
3.1 Cabin & Infotainment
Step inside to discover a pleasing blend of premium materials (leatherette upholstery, brushed aluminium, soft‑touch panels, and optionally, oak‑veneer trim) that elevate the sense of refinement.
The centrepiece is a 12.3‑inch floating touchscreen infotainment display, paired with a digital instrument cluster (10.25‑inch or larger), both furnished with Tata’s intuitive UX 2.0 or iRA 2.0 connectivity suite. This includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over‑the‑air updates, voice command integration, gesture tailgate control, and personalized driver profiles.
3.2 Comfort & Luxury
The 2025 cabin also includes:
-
Ventilated seats (front & rear), ambient lighting with multiple color zones, wireless charging pads front and rear, and multiple USB‑C and power outlets
-
Optional massaging zero‑gravity front seats, and generous rear legroom with reclining backrests and individual air‑conditioning zones.
-
A panoramic sunroof that extends almost the full length of the roof, bringing in abundant daylight and airiness.
3.3 Safety & ADAS
Safety has been overhauled with a Level‑2 ADAS suite, including adaptive cruise control, lane‑keep assist, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind‑spot monitoring, rear cross‑traffic alert, and 360° surround‑view camera systems.
Passive safety remains strong with 6 to 7 airbags, reinforced high‑strength steel structure, ESP with hill‑hold/trail‑hold assistance, roll‑over mitigation, TPMS and ISOFIX mounts. The Harrier holds a 5‑star Global NCAP rating, reaffirming Tata’s commitment to safety.
4. Powertrain Options: Flexibility & Performance
4.1 ICE Variants
Tata presents tuned engine options:
-
A 2.0 L Kryotec diesel (~170 PS, ~350 Nm) available with 6‑speed manual or torque‑converter automatic
-
A 1.5 L turbocharged petrol (~160–170 PS, ~250–280 Nm) offered with manual or 7‑speed DCT automatic transmission.
These powertrains now benefit from better refinement, tuning, and optimised suspension and steering calibration for a balanced blend of ride comfort and dynamic response.
4.2 Hybrid & PHEV Variants (Projected)
Select sources speak of a mild‑hybrid 2.0 L diesel (200 HP) and a plug‑in hybrid (1.5 L petrol plus electric motor delivering ~250 HP with ~50 km EV‑only range). While these remain speculative, they reflect Tata’s green ambitions.
4.3 Harrier.ev – Flagship Electric SUV
Rather than just a facelift, the Harrier.ev is a full‑fledged EV variant launched mid‑2025. Built on a modified JLR D8 platform re‑engineered to “Acti.ev+”, it is offered in both rear‑wheel‑drive (RWD) and all‑wheel‑drive (AWD) dual‑motor setups.
Specs Breakdown:
-
RWD version: A permanent‑magnet motor producing approx. 175 kW (240 PS) and 304 Nm torque
-
AWD variant: Adds a front induction motor (116 kW, 164 Nm), with a rear boost mode lifting torque to 340 Nm, yielding a combined 291 kW output (~390 PS) and 504 Nm torque.
In AWD boost mode, 0–100 km/h takes just 6.3 seconds. AN ARAI range figure of ~627 km is claimed for the 75 kWh battery, and fast‑charging can add up to 250 km of range in just 15 minutes.
Features include six terrain modes, boost and off‑road assist, ultra‑glide adaptive suspension, quad‑wheel drive, ultra‑glide damping, 360° surround cam, Neo QLED display interfaces, e‑valet parking assist, digital key, and JBL sound systems—all contributing to its positioning as India’s most potent consumer EV SUV so far.
