Introduction
The Tata Harrier is a mid-size pure diesel SUV that was launched in India in 2019. The Harrier is positioned between the Nexon and the Safari within the Indian carmaker’s SUV lineup. It is built on the OmegaArc platform, which is a monocoque construction derived from the Jaguar Land Rover D8 platform, which in turn is adopted by the likes of the Range Rover Sport and the Jaguar E-Pace. The Tata Harrier further shares this platform with the Safari SUV and it has received a five-star rating from the Global New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) and is one of the most versatile and dependable offerings in the segment.
