Tata Motors recently released an advertisement for its upcoming Harrier EV. The ad features the electric SUV parked in front of a pothole-filled road. The tagline reads, “The perfect road for Harrier.ev.” This highlights the car’s off-road capabilities, including six different driving modes and an off-road cruise assist feature. The choice of a damaged road as a backdrop caught the public’s eye. It speaks to real driving conditions many Indian consumers face daily.
The ad quickly went viral on social media. Some viewers praised Tata’s bold marketing. One user called it “peak Indian marketing genius,” appreciating how the brand turned a problem into a selling point. Others found the ad insensitive. Critics argued that the ad exploited India’s poor road conditions to promote a product. Some even suggested that Tata should reconsider such marketing strategies.
Tata’s ad highlights a broader reality: India’s roads are often far from perfect. Instead of ignoring this fact, the brand embraced it. The message implies that the Harrier EV is built to handle even rough, pothole-ridden roads, making it a practical choice for Indian drivers. This approach sparked a lively debate about whether this was smart marketing or simply capitalizing on a national problem.
