Tata Harrier Facelift launched in India, prices start from Rs 15.49 lakh
Tata Motors has finally launched the much-awaited Tata Harrier facelift and introductory prices for this updated SUV start from Rs 15.49 lakh. The refreshed SUV will be available in four variants: Smart, Pure, Adventure, and Fearless across seven colour options. The Harrier automatic range starts from Rs 19.99 lakh.
The Curvv idea inspires the Harrier's significant design makeover and looks stylish. It receives a new closed grille with silver inlays and a linked LED DRL that covers the width of the vehicle. The triangular housing below it houses modern LED headlights and fog lamps. The bumper has also been modified, adding to the overall aggressive appearance.
Aside from the freshly styled wheels and 'Harrier' badging on the front doors, no substantial alterations have been made to the profile. In the back, you'll find a new set of linked LED tail lights as well as a redesigned bumper.
The updated Harrier is available in seven paint options: Pebble Grey, Coral Red, Sunlit Yellow, Lunar White, Oberon Black, Ash Grey, and Seaweed Green. In addition, Tata also offers it with the Dark Edition version.
