Amid growing competition in the SUV segment, Tata Motors is now working to strengthen its portfolio. This year, the company is going to launch three new SUVs, one of which will be electric and the other two will be petrol versions.
Tata Harrier EV will be launched soon
Tata’s most popular electric SUV, Harrier EV, is being launched in India early next month. This vehicle has been specially designed keeping in mind long range and powerful performance. Harrier EV will be available in two versions – one with a single motor and the other with dual motor.
The company claims that the range of this SUV will be more than 500 km on a single full charge, which will make it one of the most powerful EVs in its segment. It will also get advanced features like DC fast charging as well as V2L (vehicle-to-load) and V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle).
Harrier EV is built on the Gen 2 EV platform, which is an updated version of OMEGA Arc. Its top variants are expected to get a 75 kWh lithium-ion battery and it will be able to give around 500 Nm of torque.
Petrol version of Harrier and Safari will also be launched
Till now Tata has been selling Harrier and Safari only with diesel engines, but by the end of this year, their petrol versions are also going to come in the market. The company is preparing a new 1.5-liter GDi petrol engine, which will power both these vehicles.
