The new Tata Harrier EV just got a five-star safety rating from the Bharat NCAP crash tests, which is pretty impressive. It did really well at keeping its passengers safe in crashes, even outperforming the diesel version in these tests.

For child safety, the Harrier EV scored a perfect 24 out of 24. In terms of adult occupant protection, it racked up 45 out of 49 points, and it even got a full score of 32 for adult protection, which is better than the 30.08 points scored by the internal combustion engine model.

The SUV went through tough testing, involving both frontal and side crash tests, and in both, it scored 16 points. This shows that the car is well-designed and puts safety first.

The crash reports show that both the driver and front passenger's safety ratings were consistently 'good' in various impact tests, including frontal crashes, side collisions, and even tough side pole tests. The strong vehicle build and effective safety features helped it score higher for adult occupants compared to the fuel version.

Tata Motors has disclosed the starting prices for the rear wheel drive (RWD) versions, which range from Rs 21.49 lakh to Rs 27.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
