Tata Motors has lit up India’s EV landscape once again with a robust statement. The newly launched Harrier EV is now one of the quickest accelerating Indian cars in existence. But is it the quickest one actually made in India? That largely depends on how we interpret “Made in India”—and that’s precisely where this EV differs in a class of its own.
Tata Harrier EV Interior
The Harrier EV makes a quantum leap in power and features. It is Tata’s first electric SUV with two electric motors. AWD is finally a possibility, and with Boost Mode on board, this monster can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. This puts it among India’s quickest-accelerating electric cars. It is the first Tata vehicle also to introduce features such as auto summon and automatic parking.

- Boost mode for rapid acceleration
- 0–100 km/h in 6.3 seconds
- Comes in 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery versions
- Price begins at ₹21.49 lakh
- First Tata car with automatic parking

Comparison with India’s Fastest Cars
The Harrier EV is quick, but how does it stack up against the world-class cars available in India? Porsche Taycan Turbo takes the lead, accelerating from 0–100 km/h in a mere 2.7 seconds. But at a mind-boggling price of ₹2.69 crore. Lamborghini Revuelto clocks 2.8 seconds and is priced at ₹8.89 crore, with Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe and Porsche 911 Carrera not far behind with times less than 3 seconds, all costing more than ₹2 crore.
Fastest Cars Made in India
When talking about locally manufactured cars, BMW’s 3 Series M340i is at the top with a 0–100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds. But that car is made from imported components and has a price tag of ₹75.9 lakh. What sets Harrier EV apart is that the majority of its components come from Indian suppliers. It is completely developed and manufactured in India, so it has a special edge.
Closest Competitors in India
Among electric SUVs produced solely in India, Harrier EV takes pole position. It outruns future contenders such as Mahindra BE 6 (6.7 seconds), Mahindra XUV.e9 (6.8 seconds), and Hyundai Creta EV (7.9 seconds). This performance advantage, alongside a bountiful list of features, makes the Harrier EV an Indian buyer’s go-to option.

Tata is also conducting discounts on its best-selling models. The facelift of Altroz has been rolled out with up to ₹1.40 lakh discounts. Harrier, Punch, and Curve are also being retailed with significant offers. Tata’s monsoon check-up camp is also operational, providing free servicing to keep cars in prime condition during rain.
