While the prototype is fully draped in camouflage, the latest spy shots reveal its rear-mounted electric motor setup. The images further hint at the fact that the Harrier EV will offer an all-wheel drive configuration with two electric motors - one mounted on each axle. There’s no official word yet on the Harrier EV’s battery capacity or range, but we expect it to sport a 60kWh battery pack that delivers about 500km of range on a single charge.
The test mules also reveal a new alloy wheel design, however, the styling cannot be ascertained yet with the camouflage on. Design changes over the ICE Harrier will include a closed-off grille, new front and rear bumpers and of course, the new alloys. On the inside, We expect the Harrier EV to feature a flat floor, and Tata has already confirmed that it will have vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging capacities.
