First Impressions: Design That Stays True
At first glance, the Tata Harrier EV retains its signature silhouette. However, once you get closer, you will notice the closed front grille, LED illuminated Tata logo, and a more futuristic split headlamp design. There are camera sensors placed all around, and radar systems built in, for ADAS functions. The aero-style alloy wheels are not just for aesthetics, they are all geared towards increasing range.

Boot Space & Battery Impact
Though Tata states ~500L space in the boot, the rear motor and battery pack consume a lot. If the rise portion is removed some space should be regained. Spare tire also sits in there as well and naturally takes away any storage available. Expect some limited space relative to the ICE version.
