Tata Motors has introduced its newest electric SUV, the Harrier EV, in India at an introductory starting price of ₹ 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

As the Tata Harrier EV joins its aforementioned siblings in revitalising the EV segment, it also poses a challenge to competitors like the Mahindra XEV 9e and Mahindra BE 6, among others. The Tata Harrier EV comes loaded with a wide array of features, many of which are segment-leading.
For those considering the purchase of an electric SUV in the above ₹ 20 lakh segment and feeling perplexed between the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra BE 6, this guide highlights the key features that the Tata SUV offers over its counterpart from Mahindra.
Moreover, the Tata Harrier EV comes with an electric Boss mode for the co-driver's seat. This innovative feature enables the rear seat occupant to electronically move the front passenger seat forward, thereby increasing legroom and knee space for rear-seat passengers. Conversely, the Mahindra BE 6 features powered front seats with a memory function for the driver's seat, but does not provide this convenience technology.
One of the most intriguing and unique features of the Tata Harrier EV is its Summon Mode, allowing the driver to move the vehicle forward or backwards using the key fob, without needing to enter the vehicle. Furthermore, this electric SUV features a reverse assist capability that recalls the last 50 metres driven and can automatically retrace the same route. Although the Mahindra BE 6 also offers automatic parking, it lacks the reverse memory feature.
Additionally, the Tata Harrier EV not only presents a 360-degree view of the vehicle but also provides a remarkable 540-degree camera view. A notable feature is the added view of the terrain beneath the SUV's bonnet, which includes a transparent mode. This allows the driver to visually assess the terrain under the vehicle, facilitating easier driving on rough surfaces. The Mahindra BE 6, on the other hand, is equipped with a standard 360-degree camera with blind spot detection, but does not include an underbody view.
A standout feature within the cabin of the Tata Harrier EV is its digital IRVM, which integrates a dashcam. This IRVM provides a live video feed captured by a roof-mounted camera, displaying the rear view of the vehicle. It includes various soft-touch buttons that enable the user to take snapshots, zoom in and out for better image or video details, and browse through older recordings and images. In contrast, the Mahindra BE 6 is equipped with a standard auto-dimming IRVM.
The Tata Harrier EV is equipped with a larger 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen infotainment system, offering a plethora of connectivity features, in comparison to the Mahindra BE 6's 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment unit. Both systems provide wireless connectivity options for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The Tata Harrier EV offers multiple terrain modes, comprising a total of six distinct options: Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Sand, and a Custom setting. In comparison, the Mahindra BE 6 is limited to just three driving modes: Range, Everyday, and Race.

Auto supply chain: Tata Motors mulls alternate magnet sources amid China curbs, Chandrasekaran says firm has sufficient inventory
Tata Motors is exploring alternate sources for rare earth magnets and working closely with the government after China restricted exports of critical materials, Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Friday. He was addressing shareholders at the company's annual general meeting. Responding to concerns over the impact of China's curbs on rare earth element exports, Chandrasekaran said the company is not currently facing any disruption. 'As of now, this is not a concern, but this is something that we are watching very carefully,' he told shareholders. 'We are able to source the magnets that we need, and also we have plans for having the right level of inventory. We are working with the government. Also, we are working on sourcing from alternate sources,' he added, as quoted PTI. China's export restrictions have affected sectors including automobiles and white goods, with the domestic auto industry seeking fast-tracked approvals for magnet imports. On the impact of the Iran-Israel war, Chandrasekaran said it is difficult to predict outcomes in such situations but affirmed the group's resilience. 'They will be able to tide over any of these geopolitical issues in the short term but are completely ready and poised for excellent growth and leverage the opportunity that this industry has to offer,' he said of Tata Motors' commercial vehicle, passenger vehicle, and JLR divisions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Responding to a shareholder query on expanding the passenger vehicle business overseas, Chandrasekaran said Tata Motors is monitoring global developments. 'This is something that we are always in discussions but we are waiting for the right geopolitical environment to be able to launch but we are getting prepared,' he said. On the long-anticipated demerger of Tata Motors' commercial and passenger vehicle businesses into separate listed entities, Chandrasekaran said the process should conclude in the December quarter.
