2023 Tata Harrier Spotted Testing - Gets ADAS, New Design & More

Thanks to ADAS, the upcoming facelifted version of the Tata Harrier SUV is expected to come with features such as automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, rear-cross traffic alert, forward collision alert, blind-spot alert and a few more.

Speaking of updates, the upcoming 2023 Tata Harrier facelift is most likely to sport an extensively reworked front fascia with a new front grille, new headlamps, and a completely reprofiled front bumper with larger air dams. However, we are not expecting to see any major changes on the side and rear profile of the upcoming updated Tata Harrier SUV.

In addition to that, the upcoming facelifted version of the Tata Harrier SUV is likely to sport an updated interior with a larger touchscreen infotainment system and a fully-digital instrument cluster.

It is also worth mentioning that features such as a 360-degree surround-view camera system, ventilated seats, power-adjustable passenger seats could be part of the standard trim levels on the upcoming facelifted version of the Tata Harrier SUV.

Recently, Tata Motors launched the XMS and XMAS variants of the Harrier SUV in India, and the XMS variant of the Tata Harrier SUV is priced at Rs 17.20 lakh (ex-showroom, India), whereas the XMAS variant of the Tata Harrier SUV comes with a price tag of Rs 18.50 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Though the upcoming facelifted Tata Harrier may sport plenty of changes on the exterior and interior, we do not expect to see any mechanical changes taking place. Speaking of which, the outgoing iteration of the 5-seater SUV is powered by a 2.0-litre, turbocharged, 4-cylinder, Kryotec diesel engine. This engine produces a healthy 167.67bhp of peak power at 3,750 rpm and 350Nm of peak torque at 1,750 rpm. Moreover, this engine comes mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

The outgoing iteration of the Tata Harrier SUV is also quite fuel-efficient for its size as the official fuel-efficiency figure stands at 16.35 km/l for the manual gearbox variants and 14.6 km/l for the models equipped with the automatic transmission.

Apart from that, the outgoing model of the Tata Harrier SUV is also among one of the best-equipped SUVs in the Indian automobile market and the top-spec variants come with features such as a semi-digital instrument console, a large 9-inch Harman touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, iRA connected car tech, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), smart keyless entry, push-button start/stop, multi-function steering wheel, automatic climate control, power-operated ORVMs, auto-folding ORVMs, cruise control and many more.

In addition to the reputation regarding safety and build quality, the Tata Harrier SUV comes with a whole suite of safety features such as multiple airbags, electronic stability program (ESP), ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Control, Hill Descent Control, auto-dimming IRVM, reverse parking sensors, and many more.

Thoughts About The Facelifted Iteration Of The Tata Harrier SUV

The Tata Harrier is one of the best-looking SUVs currently available in the market. We expect the upcoming facelifted iteration of the SUV to sport a bit more aggressiveness than the outgoing model. Moreover, having ADAS will make the SUV future-proof and a lot more desirable.
