This month sees the launch of the new Tata Harrier XTA and XTA+ automatic variants

With the arrival of two new mid-spec automatic variants – XTA and XTA+ – the Tata Harrier SUV model portfolio will be significantly enlarged. While there is no official indication on when the new automated versions will be available, they are expected to debut this month (August 2021). The XMA, XZA, and XZA+ automatic models of the mid-size SUV are now priced at Rs 16.86 lakh, Rs 19.60 lakh, and Rs 20.61 lakh, respectively.

The XZA+ variant in dual-tone is priced at Rs 20.81 lakh. The XZA automatic Dark and Camo Editions are priced at Rs 19.60 lakh, while the XZA+ automatic Dark and Camo Editions are priced at Rs 20.81 lakh. All of the prices shown are ex-showroom. The new variations will not be altered in any way. The 2.0L diesel engine that powers the forthcoming Tata Harrier XTA and XTA+ automatic versions produces 168bhp and 350Nm.

The new Tata Harrier Dark Edition was unveiled last month, with a starting price of Rs 18.04 lakh. It receives new 18-inch alloy wheels with fresh designs and a new Oberon Black colour scheme. The Harrier Dark Edition has an all-black interior with a gloss black dashboard strip, Benecke Kaliko leatherette seats with contrast blue stitching and Dark branding on the headrest, tri-arrow pattern in the seats and gear knob, and dark chrome treatment on the instrument cluster and AC vents.

According to reports, the firm is preparing to release a fuel version of the Harrier. The vehicle is expected to be powered by the brand’s new 1.5L turbo gasoline engine with direct injection. The new engine is a 4-cylinder variant of the 1.2L Revtron turbo petrol engine that powers the Nexon subcompact SUV. It is expected to have a power output of about 150bhp. The Harrier petrol may come with a manual or automatic transmission.
