Tata Harrier EV Quad Day: Can This Electric SUV Really Tow A Tank?
Tata Motors aimed to prove the Harrier EV's all-round capabilities—from tackling off-road conditions to cruising confidently on high-speed corners.
Tata Motors invited CNN-News18 Auto to the Buddh International Circuit to showcase the all-new Tata Harrier EV, and let's just say—it wasn't your regular test drive.
The event, dubbed Quad Day, was designed to prove what the electric Harrier could really do—not just on straight tracks, but in wild, real-world conditions too.
Expectations were high—but what the Harrier EV delivered left everyone stunned.
Instead of just showing off acceleration or top speed, the Harrier EV was put through a series of tough challenges. From zig-zag manoeuvres on tight corners to high-speed tests on the circuit's long straights, the SUV handled it all with surprising ease.
But the biggest surprise? It pulled a 1.5-tonne army tank. Yes, you read that right—an electric SUV towing a tank, and doing it effortlessly.
Power-Packed Performance
This extraordinary performance is made possible thanks to the Harrier EV's dual-motor setup and a high-voltage battery pack. Tata hasn't revealed the exact figures yet, but the electric SUV is expected to offer all-wheel drive (AWD) capability and strong torque delivery from the get-go.
The steering felt sharper than its ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) sibling, and regenerative braking was tuned to perfection—strong enough to assist in tight corners without being too aggressive.
Despite the Harrier EV being a large SUV, it handled the twists and turns of the Buddh circuit better than expected. It stayed composed at high speeds, responded well to sudden direction changes, and showed no signs of strain—even when tested to its limits.
