Tata Motors has unveiled brand new version of the Tata Harrier, introducing substantial visual and feature enhancements that promises to captivate the Indian market
Tata Harrier, in its introductory phase, presents a competitive starting price of Rs 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an attractive option for SUV enthusiasts. The automatic version of the Harrier starts at Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom)
The most evident transformation is the striking redesign of the front fascia. A full-width LED light bar situated above the grille, not only enhancing the aesthetic but infusing a contemporary touch. The front bumper has been segmented into two parts, separated by a glossy black band
While the side profile of the Harrier remains fairly consistent, the key visual alteration centres around the utilisation of new alloys for the 18- and 19-inch wheels. It's worth mentioning that the larger 19-inch wheels are exclusive to the Dark edition variants, adding a touch of distinctiveness
The dashboard has been thoughtfully refreshed, incorporating various materials such as a textured top panel, gleaming gloss black surfaces, and leatherette padding adorned with contrasting stitching
Depending on the specific trim level, customers can choose between two remarkable infotainment touchscreen sizes: a 10.25-inch display or the larger 12.3-inch variant. Furthermore, the centre console features a touch-based panel designed to facilitate HVAC controls
Mechanically, these SUVs retain the robust 170hp, 350Nm 2.0-litre diesel engine, known for its reliable performance. This engine can be paired with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic transmission, depending on the buyer's preference
The Tata Harrier now offers a diverse lineup of four core trims: Smart, Pure, Adventure, and Fearless. Each trim can be further customized with additional packages denoted by ‘+’ or ‘A’ suffixes, tailoring the vehicle to meet the specific desires and preferences of each buyer. This expanded selection adds an extra layer of versatility and choice to the range, catering to a broad spectrum of customer preferences
The interior enhancements extend to encompass a comprehensive array of features. These include a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a stylish new four-spoke steering wheel illuminated with the iconic Tata Motors logo, a novel drive selector catering to automatic variants, dual-zone climate control, a premium 10-speaker JBL-tuned sound system, convenient rear window shades, a versatile 360-degree camera for enhanced visibility, a coveted panoramic sunroof, and an array of other amenities designed to elevate the overall driving experience
Safety is paramount, and Tata Harrier prioritizes it. It offers the assurance of multiple airbags (with 6 airbags as standard across the range), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), hill-hold control, and reminders for three-point seat belts across all passengers
