Tata Harrier

Introduction

• Tata Motors gave a mid-life refresh to its popular mid-size SUV, the Harrier, in late 2023.
• This update gave the SUV a much-needed update ever since it was first introduced in India.
• As of late 2025, the brand retails this SUV with only a diesel powertrain, which will change soon.
• The company will introduce a petrol version to compete with the Creta and Grand Vitara alongside the EV derivative launch timeline.
• But for now, prospective buyers can expect a well-packaged diesel mid-size SUV.

Exterior

• The exterior highlights of the current Harrier include new LED bars at the front and rear and tweaked bumpers.
• Up front is a new grille and LED headlamps that are now placed in the corner of the front bumpers.
• The silhouette of the car remains almost identical to the original Harrier, but it now rides on 19-inch alloy wheels.
• Otherwise, the most prominent change at the back is the 'Harrier' lettering along with new LED taillamps.
• As for the special editions, each come in a unique colour and embellishments to provide some exclusivity to a buyer.

Interior

• The current Harrier is a facelifted version, and its cabin received a major overhaul.
• The top-spec variants boast a dual-tone interior theme along with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment screen with wireless mobile connectivity.
• A fully digital instrument cluster comes with a new interface and can be customised according to the driver's choice.
• The old aircon control panel is now replaced by a touchscreen unit with two toggle switches.
• Moreover, the SUV now boasts an illuminated panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting.
• It also gets a JLR-inspired gear knob, JBL-sourced speaker with in-built subwoofer, air purifier, rotary dial for drive modes, and a wireless charger.
• The Harrier SUV has already scored a five-star safety rating in the global NCAP crash test.
• On the safety front, it comes equipped with seven airbags, advanced electronic stability program, ADAS with 11 safety functions, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Powertrain

• Tata Motors has not made any mechanical changes to the facelifted Harrier.
• It continues to be powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine.
• This oil burner churns out 170bhp and 350Nm of torque.
• The power is sent only to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque converter.
• Recently, the carmaker has introduced the Harrier EV and soon there will also be a petrol Harrier.
