5 Key Updates Made To The Tata Harrier Facelift

The refreshed Tata Harrier gets its most thorough update since launch, with a modern design and more features than ever

The Tata Harrier facelift is about to be launched soon, and the carmaker has revealed the updated SUV in images. Bookings for the new Harrier are now open both online and at Tata dealerships, for Rs 25,000. Here are 5 key updates that have been made to the refreshed avatar of the Harrier SUV:

Design Similarities With The New Nexon

Remember the Tata Curvv concept that was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023? Well, that has been the inspiration for the carmaker’s modern design language, which was seen on the new Tata Harrier EV concept from the same showcase. It then made its market debut with the Tata Nexon and Tata Nexon EV facelifts, and this production-ready design philosophy has been carried over onto the new Harrier. It has a split-LED headlight setup stacked vertically, and an elongated LED DRL strip across the bonnet.

Even its back has been redone a bit, which now sports connected LED taillights featuring a Z-shaped lighting element. It gets a new font style for the ‘Harrier’ badging which is not only present on the boot but is now also provided on the lower side of the front doors. The Harrier facelift is also being offered with optional 19-inch alloy wheels, while the 18-inch alloys gets an updated design featuring aerodynamic inserts.

The new Tata Harrier will be available in seven exterior paint options: Sunlit Yellow, Oberon Black, Pebble Grey, Lunar White, Coral Red, Seaweed Green, and Ash Grey.

A Refreshed Cabin

Tata has redesigned the dashboard of the Harrier SUV as it gets a layered setup with curves at the bottom. Its central AC vents have been redone and it now comes with a touch-enabled climate control panel, as seen on the new Nexon. Other big updates include the new 4-spoke steering wheel with a backlit Tata logo and the rotary drive mode selector with a display. Its cabin has colour-coordinated inserts based on the exterior paint option chosen.

Expansive Features List

With the biggest midlife update yet, the Tata SUV’s features set has only grown bigger. The Harrier now gets dual-zone climate control, powered tailgate, powered front seats (6-way for the driver and 4-way for the co-driver), multi-colour ambient lighting, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display.

It has retained features such as ventilated front seats, push-button start/stop, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless phone charging.

Advanced Safety

With the refresh, the SUV has been provided with seven airbags with six of them as standard, and a more robust set of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which now includes adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. Other safety features include a 360-degree camera, electronic stability programme (ESP), and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

New Variant Lineup

Tata will be offering the Harrier facelift in new variants (also known as ‘personas’), something we’ve also seen on the Nexon facelift. The flagship 5-seater SUV will be available in four broad variants: Smart, Pure, Adventure, and Fearless.

The SUV continues with its 2-litre diesel engine (170PS/350Nm) unit as before. It comes with both 6-speed manual and automatic transmission options, the latter now with paddle-shifters. We expect the new Tata Harrier to go on sale soon, with prices likely to start from Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival the MG Hector, Mahindra XUV700, Jeep Compass, and higher variants of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
