Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XUV.e8 – Range, Power & Practical Usage Comparison

Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XUV.e8 – Now we have electric SUVs. But there is no conclusive information to know whether family or daily commuters would prefer EV SUVs in India. As we get into late 2026, Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XUV.e8, two toughest ones in the competition, will hit the market. These two SUVs are also going to offer large battery packs, impressive power, and practicality. But which SUV tips the scales in favour in terms of everyday usability, range, and driving feel? Let’s find out.

Range Distance per Charge

The core weakness of the Tata Harrier EV is also the greatest strength: the very large battery capacity. Harrier EV is expected to run for about 450-500 km per charge. While the car can easily run at low power settings in the city, it is still able to provide a huge highway range. Another frontrunner EV from Mahindra is also blessed with a brilliant range, but its way of optimising the battery pack may differ, so that the expected real-world range may be about 420-480 km. Though this range is lower than that of the Harrier EV, both these vehicles offer more than enough for everyday commute, city travel and occasional highway runs.

Power and Driving Performance

Tata Harrier EV should be creating power and torque smoothly. Sudden city acceleration with stillness from an electric motor with minimum jerk creates a great perception of speed. Balanced suspension settings for the city and highway will attract buyers who want a relaxed and confident experience.

This will be set to a slightly more aggressive tuning than that available on the XUV.e8 from Mahindra. Incredibly familiar feedback while overtaking with a good input of torque. Some variants may have AWD (All-Wheel Drive) to help enhance handling and grip on long roads and rugged terrain.

Practical Touch

The Harrier EV will have good space inside. The body structure of Tata is a lot more solid than that of other SUVs and provides ample boot space for family trips. Touches like connected car features, digital screen, and cutting-edge safety systems allow one to live a comfortable everyday life.XUV.e8’s interior will be tasteful and plush. Mahindra has loaded the newer models with comfort and infotainment features. The larger wheels and sporty stance will instil a massive amount of confidence both in city driving and long-distance journeys.

Expected Price

Talks are that the Tata Harrier EV will have a price tag between INR 25-30 lakh(ex-showroom). Now, that seems a good price for an EV within that segment. On the other side, the Mahindra XUV.e8 is expected to be priced between INR 24-29 lakh. Both SUVs seem to have a common pricing range, with slight differences in features and performance.

Conclusion

Tata Harrier EV fits the electric SUV brief with a balanced range and smooth ride with adequate daily drivability. On the contrary, one should consider XUV.e8 of Mahindra for additional muscle and a feeling of sportiness with assured handling.
