टाटा हैरियर लॉन्च, कीमत 12.69 लाख रूपए से शुरू

Harrier launched

The Harrier has been launched in India with the base variant priced at Rs 12.69 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai) and the top-spec variant priced at Rs 16.25 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).

Harrier's assembly line

Harrier’s manufacturing process conforms to Industry 4.0' standards. A central command centre is in contact with practically every robot on the assembly line.

Launch about to begin

We are present at the Renaissance Hotel in Powai, Mumbai for the launch of the new Tata Harrier. The launch event is about to begin in a few minutes so stay tuned to this space for the latest updates on the Harrier, including the price.

Deliveries will begin today

Tata will start giving deliveries of the SUV from today itself. So if you had put your money down on the Harrier when bookings were opened in October 2018, expect to get your hands on one soon.

7-seater Harrier to arrive by end of 2019

A 7-seater variant of the Harrier is also in the works and Tata plans to launch it in the Indian market by the end of 2019. It is expected to come with the same 2.0-litre diesel engine that will do duty on the 5-seater Harrier, albeit in a higher state of tune.

Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity

While Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are present on the features list, Apple CarPlay will not be available on the Harrier at the time of launch. It will be rolled out later as an update.

Driving and Terrain Response Modes

The Harrier comes equipped with driving modes - Eco, City and Sport. These are married to the terrain response modes - Normal, Wet and Rough. Coupled together, these two functions help the Harrier navigate different kind of terrains we encounter in everyday driving with relative ease.

No automatic at launch

Once launched, the Harrier will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission only. A 6-speed automatic gearbox sourced from Hyundai will be introduced on the Harrier sometime in mid-2019.

Bookings open since mid-October

Tata has been accepting bookings for the Harrier for a little over three months now. So, definitely expect a bit of waiting period if you put your money down on the Harrier today, after the prices are revealed.

Harrier based on the H5X concept

The Harrier SUV is based on the H5X concept that was shown by Tata Motors at the 2018 Auto Expo. In terms of design, the Indian carmaker has managed to carry forward a lot of elements from the concept vehicle to the production ready Harrier.
