Tata Harrier EV Patent Leaked - What To Expect?
Last year, Tata Motors introduced updated versions of its Harrier and Safari models, and now they're gearing up to launch electric versions. The Punch EV model has already hit the market. Taking a closer look at the leaked design of the upcoming Harrier EV, you'll notice it retains much of the conventional Harrier's body but with some distinct changes.
One striking modification is found in the front-end aesthetics. Departing from the conventional headlight design, the Harrier EV introduces a sleek and modern triangular headlight structure. To add a contemporary touch, slim LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) have been incorporated above the headlights. This not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also aligns with the current trends in automotive design.
One noticeable change is the replacement of the traditional grille with a closed design, eliminating the need for a large air intake. The closed grille now has horizontal slats, and below it, there's a bottom grille with numerous vertical slats. This setup ensures proper air circulation, crucial for cooling the advanced battery system.
