Official: H5X Concept To Launch As Tata Harrier; Will Rival Hyundai Creta, Jeep Compass
Tatahas finalised the name Harrier for its upcoming SUV The Harrier is the production version of the H5X Concept thatTata revealed at the 2018 Auto Expo
The Harrier will make its way to the Indian market before April 2019
Tata has finalised the name ‘Harrier’ for its upcoming SUV. The Harrier is the production version of the H5X Concept that Tata revealed at the 2018 Auto Expo. It’s the first product from Tata’s stable to adorn the Impact 2.0 design language and also the first to be based on the latest generation of Tata’s modular platforms - OMEGA ARC and ALFA ARC. The Harrier is based on the OMEGA ARC architecture, which is derived from the Land Rover Discovery Sport’s platform.
The Tata Harrier will be significantly bigger than its rivals - the Hyundai Creta and Jeep Compass. The H5X Concept measures 4575mm in overall length, which puts it in the same league as the Hyundai Tucson and the upcoming 7-seater Honda CR-V. Read more about how big the H5X Concept is here.
We recently managed to capture the Harrier undergoing road tests with little camouflage and that has revealed much of its rear design. Tata had said at the reveal of the H5X Concept that the production version will carry at least 80 per cent of the design forward and going by our latest spy shots, we can easily draw parallels between the concept and production version.
When we say that the Harrier will compete with the Creta, we mean that its lower variants will be priced in the vicinity of Creta’s higher variants. The Harrier should otherwise rival the Compass head-on, prices for which start from over Rs 15 lakh. However, we still expect prices for the Harrier to start from anywhere around the Rs 14 lakh mark.
Here’s Tata’s official press release of the Harrier name announcement below.
