Overview
- Reports indicate Tata is preparing to offer its Quad Wheel Drive on more affordable Harrier EV variants, likely around the mid-level Fearless line.
- AWD uptake has outpaced internal expectations, contributing nearly 30 percent of Harrier EV purchases versus an initial projection of roughly 20 percent.
- At present, QWD is limited to the Empowered 75 QWD trim priced at Rs 28.99 lakh (ex-showroom), keeping the dual-motor setup at the top end of the range.
- The AWD system uses dual motors—an induction unit up front and a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor—and adds Boost Mode, Offroad Assist and six terrain modes.
- It is unclear whether the expanded AWD offering will pair with the 65 kWh battery, and published figures for combined power and torque differ across reports, though the QWD variant is cited with a 622 km certified range and lower real‑world estimates.
