Tata Motors has long been a symbol of reliability and innovation in the Indian automotive market, and with the introduction of the Tata Harrier, the brand once again reasserts its commitment to bold design, rugged performance, and cutting-edge technology. Now envisioned as a 7-seater SUV, the new Tata Harrier is all set to redefine expectations in the premium SUV segment. A perfect balance between comfort and capability, the 7-seater Harrier offers Indian families the kind of spaciousness, features, and fuel economy that make long road trips and daily commutes equally enjoyable.
The Evolution of the Tata Harrier
Originally launched as a 5-seater SUV, the Tata Harrier took inspiration from the Land Rover D8 platform and was underpinned by Tata’s own OMEGA-Arc architecture. Its bold styling and well-balanced proportions made it an instant hit. The new 7-seater iteration builds upon this foundation, enhancing the dimensions to make room for an extra row of seats without compromising the aggressive stance and striking road presence the Harrier is known for.
The Tata Harrier embraces Tata Motors’ “Impact 2.0” design language, which means sharp LED DRLs, a wide chrome-finished grille, muscular wheel arches, and sculpted sides. Whether you’re driving through the city or on rugged terrain, the Harrier manages to turn heads wherever it goes.
Room for Everyone: Big on Space and Comfort
The 7-seater Tata Harrier is tailored for large Indian families who enjoy traveling together. The additional row of seating is not just an afterthought—it has been intelligently integrated into the vehicle’s overall design. What’s more impressive is how the new Harrier manages to retain generous legroom and headspace for all passengers across all three rows.
The seats are ergonomically designed to ensure optimum back support, especially for long journeys. Premium upholstery, adjustable headrests, and a flat floor design contribute to a high level of comfort. The driver’s seat is electrically adjustable, and there’s a tilt-and-telescopic steering option for added convenience. Rear AC vents and USB charging ports for all rows make this SUV a true family companion.
Mileage and Performance: Balancing Power with Efficiency
Perhaps one of the most eye-catching aspects of the Tata Harrier is its ARAI-rated mileage of 28 km/l, which puts it among the most fuel-efficient full-size SUVs in India. This exceptional mileage makes it highly desirable for long-distance travel as well as city commutes.
Under the hood, the Harrier is powered by a refined 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel engine that delivers 170 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. Whether paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque converter automatic, the engine offers seamless power delivery and efficient cruising. For urban traffic or highway overtakes, the Harrier maintains responsiveness without compromising on smoothness.
Robust Build, Ready for Adventure
The 7-seater Tata Harrier retains the robust characteristics of its 5-seater predecessor. Built on the OMEGA-Arc platform derived from Land Rover, it offers exceptional torsional rigidity and impact absorption. The high ground clearance and a well-calibrated suspension system mean the Harrier is just as comfortable tackling rough patches as it is gliding over smooth asphalt.
This SUV is equipped to handle hilly terrains, gravel tracks, and rural roads with ease. The driving modes—Eco, City, and Sport—allow you to adjust the vehicle’s behavior depending on your driving environment. For adventurers and city slickers alike, the Harrier ensures a stable and planted ride.
Packed with Tech and Features
In keeping with modern demands, the Tata Harrier comes fully loaded with a suite of tech and convenience features that elevate the driving experience:
- 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with high-resolution graphics
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Panoramic sunroof for a more open and airy cabin
- Qi wireless charging pad for smartphones
- Ventilated front seats with multi-stage cooling
- Voice-activated controls for navigation, music, and calls
- Connected car tech via the Tata iRA platform
The infotainment system is intuitive and snappy, while the sound quality from the JBL audio system creates a rich audio experience for all passengers.
Uncompromised Safety
Tata Motors has always taken passenger safety seriously, and the Tata Harrier is no exception. It comes with:
- 6 airbags (front, side, and curtain)
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Hill Hold Control and Hill Descent Control
- ABS with EBD
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on higher variants, including lane departure warning, blind spot detection, and autonomous emergency braking
- 360-degree camera for easier parking and maneuvering
With a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating in its earlier avatar, the new Harrier is expected to meet or exceed that benchmark, giving peace of mind to buyers.
Pricing and Variants
While Tata Motors has yet to officially announce all the details, industry insiders suggest that the 7-seater Tata Harrier will be priced between ₹15.50 lakh to ₹20.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Given the feature list, design quality, and performance benchmarks, this is a highly competitive price bracket.
Variants are likely to be structured as follows:
- XE: Entry-level variant with standard safety and tech
- XM: Mid-level with added infotainment features
- XZ: High-end trim with all the bells and whistles
- XZ+ (O): Top variant featuring ADAS and luxury elements
This pricing structure positions the Harrier to directly challenge rivals like the Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra XUV700, and MG Hector Plus.
Tata Harrier vs The Competition
The Indian SUV market is fiercely competitive, especially in the 7-seater category. Here’s how the Tata Harrier stacks up:
- Against Mahindra XUV700: Harrier’s rugged build and better ride quality give it an edge for off-road users
- Against Hyundai Alcazar: Harrier offers more power and a bolder design
- Against MG Hector Plus: The Harrier’s mileage and mechanical robustness stand out
Tata’s brand reliability, service network, and safety standards further tip the scales in favor of the Harrier.
