Tata Motors is doing very well in the four-wheeler electric vehicle segment. The company also has the highest market share in the segment. However, its sales have declined slightly over the last 2-3 months. In such a situation, the company is going to make its new electric cars very special and powerful. In fact, the company is preparing to introduce it with all-wheel drive (AWD) modes. This is indicated by the patent photo that has surfaced.
The electric versions of Tata Safari and Harrier could be the first models from the company to feature this technology. In which 6 terrain response modes will be available. Currently, the ICE models of Tata Harrier and Tata Safari have 3 modes including Normal, Wet and Rough. The patent image shows that Tata will offer a higher terrain response mode in the AWD versions of the Safari EV and Harrier EV. This new advanced off-road mode could be called “Terrain Response 2”.
Terrain Response mode can include 6 modes like Normal, Snow, Mud & Ruts, Sand or Desert, Rough or Rocky and Personal or Manual. These can be selected from the same circular dial with integrated display. The selection mode is indicated by text below this dial. In personal mode, the driver will have the possibility to adjust the vehicle according to his choice. Apart from this, the company is preparing an advanced ESP mode to assist the driver while off-roading, which will make off-road driving easier.
