Tata Harrier EV: Here are 5 features that make the SUV stand out from its rivals
Tata Motors has introduced its newest electric SUV, the Harrier EV, in India at an introductory starting price of ₹ 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This premium electric SUV enhances the homegrown automaker's strong presence in the Indian electric passenger vehicle market, where Tata Motors already leads the competition with its diverse array of products including the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv EV. (Also check out: Upcoming cars in India) 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.

VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 vs rivals: How do the Vietnamese EV SUVs fare against Indian competition?
The VinFast VF 6 will take on the Mahindra BE 6 and other similar electric cars. Notify me Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast is set to enter the Indian market ahead of the festive season with its first two offerings — the VF 6 and VF 7. Positioned as premium electric SUVs, these models aim to take on homegrown contenders like the Mahindra BE 6, Mahindra XEV 9e, Tata Curvv EV and Tata Harrier EV. With competitive specifications, modern technology, and a localisation strategy in the works, VinFast is gearing up to enter one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the world. VinFast also teased future models like the VF 3, VF e34, VF 8, and VF 9 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, showing its ambitions beyond just two SUVs. However, it's the VF 6 and VF 7 that will define the company's reputation in India. If VinFast can deliver on range, features, and pricing while rapidly expanding its after-sales support and manufacturing footprint, it could become a strong contender in India's rapidly expanding EV segment. VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 vs rivals: Powertrain and battery VinFast's VF 6 and VF 7 are equipped with battery packs of 59.6 kWh and 70.8 kWh, respectively. The VF 6's motor produces 201 bhp, while the VF 7 delivers a significantly more powerful 349 bhp. Although their official driving ranges haven't been disclosed yet, the power figures suggest a performance-oriented focus, especially in the VF 7. By comparison, Mahindra's BE 6 and XEV 9e come with 59-kWh and 79-kWh battery options, delivering up to 281 bhp and offering a range exceeding 600 km on the larger pack. The Tata Curvv EV offers 45-kWh and 55-kWh batteries, with motors producing 147 bhp and 165 bhp. The Harrier EV comes with 65-kWh and 75-kWh options, promising stronger performance, but its exact power and range figures are yet to be confirmed. In terms of outright power, the VF 7 leads the pack, even outmuscling the larger Mahindra EVs. However, VinFast still needs to match or exceed the claimed 600 km range offered by Mahindra to win over range-conscious buyers. VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 vs rivals: Features and tech The Plus variants of both the VF 6 and VF 7 come with a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, heads-up display, and OTA (over-the-air) updates — matching or even exceeding what's offered by rivals. Inside, the design focuses on a dual-tone, aircraft cockpit-inspired cabin, and offers panoramic sunroof or full-glass roof options, depending on the variant. In terms of safety, VinFast is going all-in. Both SUVs offer seven airbags, Level 2 ADAS, electronic stability control, blind spot warning, and lane departure warning. This places them on par with or ahead of competitors like the Curvv EV and Harrier EV, both of which are still in the process of confirming the level of ADAS features they will offer. VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 vs rivals: Price expectations Although VinFast hasn't yet revealed prices, its localisation plans indicate a strategic effort to remain competitive. The Mahindra BE 6 is priced between ₹ 18.9 and ₹ 26.9 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Mahindra XEV 9e ranges from ₹ 21.9 to ₹ 30.5 lakh. The Tata Curvv EV is priced between ₹ 17.49 and ₹ 21.99 lakh, and the Harrier EV starts at ₹ 21.49 lakh. Given its premium positioning and powerful specs, the VF 6 is expected to be priced around ₹ 22 to 25 lakh, and the VF 7 closer to ₹ 28 to 32 lakh, depending on the variant and local production status. VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 vs rivals: Localisation and service strategy VinFast is not just aiming to sell EVs; the company is developing a local manufacturing plant in India, which is aided by government support. It is also setting up a wide retail and service network across tier-1 and tier-2 cities. In addition, VinFast is planning an omnichannel approach that blends physical showrooms with a digital-first experience for bookings, service, and customer support.
