The Tata Harrier has been on sale since January this
year and a few days ago its sales reached 10,000 units. Apparently, it has been
quite a successful product in its segment. Now, it is about to get minor
enhancements based on media and customer feedback.
The new updates include NVH tuning for improved
sound insulation, new R10.X Software update for seamless infotainment system
experience, steering tuning for improved feedback, feel and responsiveness, and
clutch adjustment for optimal response. A Team-BHP forum post suggest that
customers are getting these updates done for free during the service of the
vehicle.
The flagship Tata SUV is based on the Omega-Arc
platform which is a modified version of the Jaguar Land Rover’s D8 platform.
Though currently it is only a 5-seater SUV, 7-seater version of the same,
called Tata Buzzard tentatively, is on the works. On the outside, the Tata
Harrier comes with features like multi-tier front light setup comprising
ultra-slim, dual-function LED DRLs, Xenon HID projector headlamps and fog lamps
with cornering function, 17-inch alloy wheels and sleek wraparound tail lamps.
Tata Motors also gave the Harrier a software update
a while ago, thanks to which its top-of-the-line, 8.8-inch Floating Island
touchscreen infotainment system now comes with Apple CarPlay as well. It comes
with safety features such as six airbags, ESP, reverse parking camera and
Perimetric Alarm System to name a few. It employs a 2.0-litre diesel engine
which delivers 140 PS of maximum power at 3,750 rpm and 350 Nm of torque at
1,750-2,500 rpm. This engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
Tata Motors recently introduced two dual-tone
exterior colour options in the celebration of the 10,000 units sales milestone
earlier this month. The C-SUV's prices start at INR 13.00 lakh* (in
single-tone) and extend up to INR 16.76 lakh* (in dual-tone).
