Dual-Motor AWD Setup

The Harrier EV is the first SUV in its segment to feature a dual-motor setup. It is built on an updated platform known as acti.ev+, which allows for a motor on each axle. The Harrier EV comes standard with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup, where the front motor generates 158 PS of power and the rear motor produces 238 PS of power. As a baseline, this EV will also be available with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configuration. In contrast, the Mahindra XEV 9e is available only with an RWD setup.
Integrated Front & Rear Camera, Smart Digital IRVM

Tata Motors has made the Harrier EV smarter and tech-savvy with the integrated drive recorders. The Harrier EV gets a smart digital IRVM, connected to a camera to give you a view of the rear. This rear camera is cleverly installed in the shark fin antenna, allowing it to function as a rear recorder as well. Additionally, a DVR camera is integrated behind the IRVM, serving as a dashcam that records your drives. You can easily turn your mirror into a full-fledged HD Rear-view Mirror with DVR, with a wide-angle lens, and intelligent view modes.
540-Degree Surround View Camera With Transparent Mode

The Mahindra XEV 9e features a 360-degree surround view camera. However, Tata has raised the bar by equipping the Harrier EV with a 540-degree surround view camera, which includes a transparent mode. This innovative camera provides a clear view of the area beneath the car, making it easier to navigate off-road conditions. This feature helps avoid obstacles while traversing rough terrain.
Theatre Maax Experience With QLED Display

The new Tata Harrier EV offers the TheaterMaax Experience with the World's first and exclusive 14.53-inch Infotainment display by Harman, powered by Samsung Neo QLED. This screen is paired with 10-JBL speakers to offer an immersive sound experience. The Mahindra XEV 9e, on the other hand, offers a triple screen setup with the 16-speaker system from Harmon Kardon.
