The BS-IV Tata Harrier has been confirmed to be unveiled at Auto Expo 2020 next month. Unlike the old model, the new model will be available with an automatic transmission, a panoramic sunroof and 18-inch alloy wheels. Here's a new video showing its panoramic sunroof in operation.

The BS-VI Tata Harrier will be available with the same 18-inch alloy wheels as the Tata Buzzard (to be launched as Tata Gravitas next month). Also, unlike the old model, it will be available in a dual-tone red-black colour scheme, which was revealed at the launch of the Tata Altroz and other BS-VI models last week.


The Tata Harrier automatic seen here features the familiar dual-tone brown and black interior, but with a lighter brown shade for the upholstery and a glossy dark brown/black panel on the dashboard. Also, there's no matte wood treatment. The gearshift lever has been distinguished with the signature tri-arrow pattern design on the top.

The Tata Harrier automatic will likely be offered in a new XZ+ range-topping grade. On the outside, the test mule seen here sports double-spoke alloy wheels in the same design as the Tata Buzzard that's going to be launched as the Tata Gravitas soon. However, while the size of the alloy wheels of the three-row model was 18 inches, the size of the alloy wheels of the two-row model seems to be 17 inches.


In addition to an automatic transmission and new alloy wheels, the Tata Harrier is set to gain a two-tone red-black dual-tone exterior colour scheme and a panoramic sunroof with the BS-VI upgrade. The operation of the panoramic sunroof was shown in a teaser video recently.

As far as the mechanicals are concerned, the BS-VI Harrier will use a cleaner version of the 2.0L Kryotec diesel mill which delivers 140 PS and 350 Nm of torque in the current, BS-IV version. Reports say that it will be available with the with the 170 PS/350 Nm 2.0L diesel engine of the Tata Gravitas as well later. The 6-speed automatic transmission will be a Hyundai sourced torque converter unit. The dual-tone colour scheme, panoramic sunroof and automatic transmission may be exclusive to the new 'XZ+' grade. Also part of the new equipment may be a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Tata Motors hiked the prices of the Harrier earlier this month by up to INR 45,000.
