As the only AWD SUV in its segment, the Harrier EV comes packed with a few useful inclusions for when you want to venture off the beaten path. Chief among these is a new ‘Ultra Glide’ rear suspension setup that gets frequency-dependent dampers, which absorb bumps more effectively.
Harrier EV off-road features
You also get six terrain modes – Normal, Snow/Grass, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, and Custom – to optimise drivability on rough surfaces, low-speed cruise control that can be set as low as 5kph, and a 540-degree camera that projects a view of what’s underneath the car.
Should you buy the Tata Harrier EV or the Mahindra XEV 9e?
Harrier EV beats XEV 9e on the price front
As detailed above, the Harrier EV has the price advantage over the XEV 9e throughout their respective variant line-ups, and there isn’t much variance between their feature offerings, too. The XEV 9e does offer flashier goodies like an extra touchscreen for the front passenger and lighting effects on its panoramic sunroof, but these may not appeal to everyone.
XEV 9e offers a greater range and more luggage capacity
Additionally, the XEV 9e’s swoopier coupe-SUV design can be a bit more divisive than that of the Harrier EV, which looks largely similar to the diesel Harrier. In terms of range, though, the XEV 9e is ahead of the Harrier EV by up to 29km. Moreover, the XEV 9e’s 663-litre boot is substantially larger than the Harrier EV’s 502-litre capacity (measured until the roof instead of the parcel tray), and the Mahindra SUV also gets a larger 150-litre frunk.
