What’s new on the outside?Nothing much except for this new metallic paint shade that Tata calls ‘Nitro Crimson’. It replaces the Fearless Red shade, which was a solid paint option. IMO, this shade of red looks good in person: There are no design changes to the exterior of the car. When Tata introduced the ‘Personas’ for its variants, they decided not to have variant or engine badges on the car. Hence, you won’t be able to tell the petrol engine variant apart from the diesel variant: A new feature addition to the Harrier is that you get a washer for the front camera… … and the rear as well: 18-inch alloy wheels with 235/60 section tyres have been carried forward:What’s new on the inside?The outgoing Harrier has a black interior theme, which looks sporty, but is not everyone’s cup of tea. What does Tata do? Get the light coloured interior theme from the Safari! Yes, now you get the Oyster White & Titan Brown interiors on the Harrier. Tata has also tried to bridge the features gap between the Harrier EV and the ICE Harrier: Even the theme of the instrument cluster has been changed to match the interiors: You now get the bigger 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment unit from the Harrier EV. The display unit is a Neo QLED from Samsung. It surely feels high-quality and crisp. The infotainment system is paired with a 10-speaker JBL Black audio system, which has Dolby Atmos 5.1. The sound quality is excellent across all ranges and should satisfy most users: Another feature that has been carried forward from the Harrier EV is the e-IRVM, which displays the feed from the camera installed in the shark-fin antenna. The camera feed is of good quality, and there’s almost no lag. If you keep the IRVM in the middle, there will be reflections, so you can turn it towards you so that you can directly see the display: These are the Oyster White leatherette seats. The driver’s seat has a memory function that has been paired with the ORVMs, which dip when reverse is engaged. The seat bolstering is good and wide enough for larger users. Like in the Harrier EV, I had pushed the seat all the way back to drive comfortably (I’m 5’10” tall). If I had to drive with a slightly higher seating position, there would be no room for me to push the seat back. You can always lower the seat, which also pushes the seat behind. Long story short, 6-footers will find the movement of the front seat restricted: A look at the passenger side of the dashboard. You get this nice fake wooden finish that looks premium. Below you have a gloss black strip, which also has the mood lighting strip: The rear seat is wide enough to accommodate 3 adults, and you get 3-point seatbelts for the 3 passengers, but only two adjustable headrests: You get a panoramic sunroof, and the roof also gets the white treatment: Read Team-BHP’s detailedTata Harrier 1.5L TGDi Turbo-Petrol ATreview here
