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.

Tata Motors to invest up to ₹35,000 crore in PV business in 5 years; focus on new models and cleaner powertrain tech
Tata Motors is working on a plan to launch a wide range of new cars across different powertrain segments over the next five years. Check Offers Tata Motors is planning to invest up to ₹ 35,000 crore in its passenger vehicle business. The homegrown automobile giant has stated during its investor day presentation on Monday that it plans to invest the amount in the development of electric vehicles as well as new models, which are expected to be launched in the market over the course of the next five years. With this huge investment strategy, the carmaker aims to cement its position as the country's top electric passenger vehicle manufacturer amid the rising competition and greater push to adopt cleaner cars. Tata Motors currently holds the lion's share in the Indian electric passenger vehicle market with its models like the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, Curvv EV, as well as the newly launched Harrier EV. Besides that, the automaker sells some of the popular SUVs as well, which have been propelling growth for the brand amid the rapidly surging demand for utility vehicles in India. These SUVs include Nexon, Punch, Harrier, Safari, etc. The company is planning to bring the Sierra to the Indian market too, in its EV form as well as ICE guise. Also Read : Upcoming cars in India Reuters has reported that in its investor day presentation, Tata Motors has revealed the plan to nearly double the company's PV product portfolio from eight models to 15. This target will be achieved through launching more electric vehicles and CNG cars. Besides that, there will be technology feature enhancements for the existing vehicles, claims the report. Despite revealing the plan of investment for the next five years, Tata Motors did not share its investment plan for the current financial year, which will end in March 2026. The move from Tata Motors comes at a time when India, the world's third-largest passenger vehicle market, is planning to enforce stricter emission norms starting from 2027. Also, the Indian government wants electric vehicles to form 30 per cent of all car sales in the country by 2030. Intense competition in the combustion engine market has allowed rival Mahindra to overtake Tata. MG Motor has also challenged Tata's EV dominance with the Windsor model, outselling its products since late last year. However, despite that, Tata Motors maintained its target of 16 per cent market share by March 2027, aiming to reach 18-20 per cent by March 2030.

Tata Motors charts long-term PV roadmap with focus on EVs
Amid rising competition from its rivals, Tata Motors has laid out a holistic strategy and long-term targets for its passenger vehicle (PV) business, aiming for significant growth by the end of the decade. As part of its 360-degree plan, Tata Motors is targeting an 18–20 per cent market share, including EVs, by FY30, with seven new nameplates and 23 product refreshes, the company revealed in its Investor Day presentation. The Mumbai-based automaker plans to invest around ₹33,000–₹35,000 crore to execute this roadmap-- to be carried out between FY26 and FY30. The investment would primarily be towards electric mobility, software-defined vehicles (SDVs), new-age powertrains, product innovation, and feature-rich launches to drive higher EV penetration and stay competitive. Currently, Tata's PV unit holds a 14 per cent market share, and aims to scale it to 16 per cent by FY27. By FY30, the company aims to expand to 15 nameplates across multiple powertrains, compared to eight today. As per the presentation, upcoming models include the Sierra, two under the Avinya range, four ICE models, and two EVs. For its PV business, Tata Motors is also eyeing double-digit EBITDA margins and free cash flow of over ₹1,000 crore, as per the presentation. A push to EVs The auto giant is also working to raise the share of EVs in its PV sales to 20 per cent by FY27 and over 30 per cent by FY30. The EV space in the country is witnessing heated competition with players like Mahindra & Mahindra and JSW MG vying for a larger share of the growing market. Tata Motors is the market leader in this space although it has seen its pie decline from around 71 per cent in FY24 to 54 per cent in FY25. So far, Tata Motors has sold over 2 lakh EVs so far. At present, Tata's EV portfolio—including the Tiago EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv EV—has a strong pipeline, with plans to introduce two new models under its Avinya EV concept which is designed for premium and innovation-led EV offerings. Recently, it launched the Harrier electric SUV to gain traction in the crowded space. The aggressive push by the carmaker is likely to turn its EV business EBITDA positive during the ongoing fiscal. Realising the importance of accessible EV infrastructure, the carmaker is aiming for 1 million home-charging stations and 1 lakh public charging stations, with a focus on models like vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging and valet charging, the company noted. At the same time, recognizing the growing resale market, Tata Motors is also planning partnerships to establish a structured aftermarket for EVs, including refurbishing and added benefits like extended warranties. This move is expected to improve EV resale value and support upgrade programmes for existing EV owners.
