Tata Harrier EV
Tata Motors revealed the Harrier EV concept at the Auto Expo 2023. Right now, the home-grown auto giant hasn't revealed any exact information, but market speculations claim that the production model of the concept will arrive in India sometime in 2024. Visually, the concept version of the EV differs from the petrol-powered model. The front profile includes an updated bumper, split headlights with a newly designed LED light bar, a blackened housing, and geometric creases, aside from a blanked-off new grille. According to industry reports, the upcoming production-spec Harrier EV will retain the styling of the concept. The reports also claim that the Tata Gen 2 (also known as Sigma) platform, which is a substantially modified version, will serve as the foundation for the upcoming electric SUV.
Tata Punch EV
The electric Punch will reportedly go on sale in the country during the festive season 2023. Inside, the micro EV will presumably sport a redesigned two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated emblem in the centre, similar to the Curvv. In addition, it might feature an automated parking brake, a 360-degree camera, and more features. In terms of the powertrain, the electric SUV will probably offer the same options as the Tiago EV hatchback - 19.2kWh and 24kWh batteries. On a full charge, the upcoming electric Punch is anticipated to offer a driving range of approximately 300 kilometres. More details on the SUV are expected to emerge closer to the launch, which might take place around the Diwali season of this year.
Tata Safari EV
According to industry speculations, the electric Harrier will launch next year. It is anticipated to be joined by an electric variant of the Safari SUV. Several industry reports claim that the electric Safari will look like the EV version of the Harrier. Its powertrain configuration might contain a battery with a 60kWh capacity, with a range of about 400–500 kilometres. Similar to the Harrier EV, the electric version of the Safari may also get a reworked front bumper, blackened housing surrounding the headlamp clusters, updated central air intake with a blanked-off panel, and more.
Tata Sierra EV
Tata Motors unveiled the Sierra EV concept at the 2023 Auto Expo in India. The Tata Sierra EV was displayed previously with three doors at the Auto Expo 2020, however, the carmaker showcased the upgraded version with five doors, dual-tone alloy wheels, and many other amenities in this year's Auto Expo show.
