Thoughts About The Tata Harrier (Buzzard) AMT Variant Seen Testing

The Harrier has witnessed a big decline in sales thanks to the MG Hector and the Kia Seltos. Tata has been making small upgrades based on customer feedback, but they know this isn't enough to keep customers loyal.

We think it will be very difficult to match the connectivity features and other creature comforts that the Seltos offers, but we're sure sales will increase. If we can't offer better tech, we'll offer more seats. Problem solved. Yes, and we hope the vehicle passed its tests.
