Tata Harrier EV Showcases Off-Roading Skills Ahead of Launch
Tata Harrier EV's Off-Road Challenge
The Tata Harrier EV is set to make its debut tomorrow, but prior to its official unveiling, Tata has released a video demonstrating the vehicle's off-roading capabilities. The challenge features the Harrier EV tackling the formidable Elephant Rock, which rises to an impressive height of 3,937 feet.
To navigate this challenging ascent, professional off-roader Dr. Mohammed Fahed was enlisted. His extensive experience in off-roading allowed him to conquer the hill with relative ease. The climb was divided into three distinct stages: the first involved a rocky minefield with a narrow path and a continuous incline, the second stage featured a ridge leading to the mountain's summit, and the final stage culminated at the peak, surrounded by breathtaking skies and clouds.
Climbing the 3937-Foot Mountain
The initial stage of the climb presented loose gravel and soft terrain, necessitating a steady speed throughout. To tackle this, the Harrier EV was switched to off-road assist mode, which aids the vehicle in such conditions. Additionally, the SUV features a transparent mode that provides the driver with a clear view of the terrain beneath while driving.
The new SUV is equipped with various terrain modes, including snow, sand, and rock, along with a customizable driving dynamics mode. For the second stage of the climb, the Rock mode was selected to help the vehicle navigate the narrow, rocky passage effortlessly.
The instrument cluster indicated that all four wheels were engaged to facilitate the vehicle's ascent to the mountain's peak.
The third stage of the climb posed a significant challenge with a steep 34-degree incline, testing the vehicle's capabilities. To conquer this ascent, the Harrier EV was switched to Boost mode, utilizing its full power to reach the summit effortlessly. Leaks prior to the launch suggest that the vehicle will feature a new all-wheel-drive dual motor setup.
