TATA Harrier: Setting NADA Auto Expo on Fire
"The main attraction for Tata Harrier is the high-mounted grille and the strips of LED lighting positioned at the base of the bonnet. The DRLs comes in all variants but the LED bulbs are only available in the top-end model."
Tata is planning to launch Harrier in the NADA Auto Expo 2019. Tata Harrier has been one of the most loved SUV in India and with the same expectations, they are launching it here. The Harrier SUV is an ultimate SUV as they have already expert in this segment with Sierra and Safari.
The main attraction for Tata Harrier is the high-mounted grille and the strips of LED lighting positioned at the base of the bonnet. The DRLs comes in all variants but the LED bulbs are only available in the top-end model.
One of the big highlights is the prominent, three-dimesional ‘humanity line’ front grille which shows us the company’s newest approach to vehicle design- the ‘Impact 2.0’.
The Harrier is powered by a 2 liter, 4 cylinder diesel engine. There's no petroleum on offer. The engine comes from Fiat's four-chamber Multijet II diesel unit that powers the Jeep Compass. This one produces 138 bhp and that is sufficient to drive a vehicle which tips the scales at near 1700 kilos. The 350 nm of torque kicks into this turbocharged unit at pretty much 1800 rpm and the low-end torque gives a direct power conveyance. It has a solid mid-range as well. There's just a 6 speed manual on offer and there's no programmed until further notice. The gear shifts effortlessly, however, it requires a touch of exertion to space them set up. Development from 2 to third and back is the place you feel a touch of twitch. The grip is decent and light, however, the movement is a considerable amount and not incredible in rush hour gridlock conditions.
