Tata Harrier Specs, Features Revealed Ahead Of January 2019 Launch

The Harrier misses out on a 4x4 system but gets terrain response modes

• Tata’s Harrier will available only with a six-speed manual transmission at launch.

• The sunroof has been given a miss, altogether.

• The Harrier biggest rival will be the popular Jeep Compass.

Details of Tata’s upcoming SUV, Harrier, have been under much speculation in the past months, but we finally have official word from Tata Motors on how things stand:

Powertrain

The Tata Harrier gets a 2.0-litre diesel engine that makes 140PS of max power and 350Nm of torque. All that output is transferred to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The Harrier with a petrol engine and automatic transmission will likely be launched later. The SUV will feature three driving modes: Eco, City and Sport, which control engine output. While a four-wheel-drive system is not available at this stage, the Harrier will have terrain response modes like Normal, Wet and Rough for taking on difficult terrain. Both, the driving modes and terrain response modes are married to each other and work in tandem.
