Update: A new teaser video showing the Tata Harrier with an automatic transmission, revealing the interesting design of its gearshift lever, and hinting the new red body colour option has been released.
24 January 2020 -
At the launch event of its first four BS-VI vehicles, including the Altroz, Tata Motors teased a Tata Harrier with 18-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic sunroof. In a new development, Guenter Butschek, CEO & MD, Tata Motors, has revealed that the company will launch the Harrier with an automatic transmission, a sunroof and a BS-VI engine at Auto Expo 2020 next month.
In all likeliness, the BS-VI Tata Harrier will be available with not only an automatic transmission and a panoramic sunroof but also the new, 18-inch alloy wheels borrowed from the Tata Buzzard (to be launched as Tata Gravitas soon) and the new, dual-tone red-black colour scheme it was teased with at the launch of the Tata Altroz and other BS-VI models this week. The latest development was revealed by Butschek in an interview with The Times of India. Below were his words:
The Harrier upgrade will be presented in the Auto Expo. Like the others, the BS6 version will be packed with other features including automatic transmission and a sunroof.
The BS-VI engine of the Tata Harrier will be simply an upgraded 2.0L Kryotec diesel mill that delivers 140 PS and 350 Nm of torque currently. A more powerful, 170 PS version that will debut in the Tata Gravitas is said to make it to this model at some point. The automatic transmission will be a 6-speed torque converter sourced from Hyundai. Expect the dual-tone colour scheme, panoramic sunroof and automatic transmission to be offered in a new 'XZ+' grade. The list of new features introduced with the BS-VI upgrade may include even a tyre pressure monitoring system.
