Tata Motors is all set to launch its latest 5-seater SUV, Tata Harrier. Making its first appearance at the Auto Expo 2018 under the shape of the concept H5X, Tata Harrier has caught the attention thanks to its stunning looks. Tata has been working hard on refining their cars as well as keeping them on the spotlight. We are only a month away to its official launch and after many teasers, Tata Harrier has come with all the details that we ever wished to know.
Tata Harrier, right from its start, has stood out as a looker. The concept H5X was among the most striking models at the Auto Expo 2018. Even though the production version of Tata Harrier has missed the exaggerated design elements for a more humble and conventional style, Tata Harrier still comes off as a good-looking car. Here are some highlight features of Tata Harrier.
Tata Harrier is a good-looking car with many defining highlights
If the H5X gets sleek three-tier headlamps, the mass-produced Harrier is given a more ordinary two-tier unit. Black gloss finish is cut down and replaced by blacked-out plastic. A thin LED trim is located above the headlamps housing. The headlights feature Xenon HID projector. These large and blunt headlights take a large estate on the front face, enhancing the bold and aggressive appearance of the SUV.

One subtle but interesting feature on the Harrier is its new wing mirror with a projector reflecting the logo of the Harrier on to the ground.
While the major of the models in the market is focusing creating an impressive front look, Tata Motors has taken one step further with the Harrier as it has put their spell on both the front and rear end. As the result, not only the fascia but also the rear of the Harrier gets us in awe. While the front is more tamed when compared to the concept car, the rear remains faithful to the initial design, stylish and plush.
The thin LED taillights look futuristic and sleek. A trim that connects the tail lamps gets the piano black application, making the rear look even more premium.

If the exterior look has been widely published, the interior of the Tata Harrier has just been revealed recently by Tata. And if you think the exterior of the Harrier is all the best that Tata could give you, seeing the interior of the Harrier might change your mind.
The interior of the Harrier features black and brown colour scheme, emphasizing the premiumness in its design language. Moreover, Harrier gets Premium Oak wood finish across the dashboard, along with some silver accent added around the air vent, steering wheel and lining the upper part and lower part of the dash. The dashboard features the up-market soft touch plastic with “Anti Reflective ‘Nappa’ Grain Top Layer”.

As expected, the centre console houses a floating touchscreen and AC controls/AC air vent panel located underneath, both of which merge into one large unit with piano black finish and silver contouring.
Tata will not be frugal in the uses of leather for Harrier’s cabin. The Harrier gets leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob along with the upholstery on the seats and door pad.
