2023 Tata Harrier Launched in India at Rs 15.49 Lakh, Automatic Variant Starts at Rs 19.99 Lakh

The updated Harrier and Safari facelifts have been finally launched by Tata Motors in India today. The price of the car starts at Rs 15.49 lakh and goes up to Rs 24.49 lakh. Both figures are ex-showroom. From design and features to technology and performance, both models have undergone significant improvements inside-out. As a result, the all-new SUVs now come equipped with some of the segment-leading features, including a 12.3-inch HD infotainment unit, a motorised tailgate, a panoramic sunroof with mood lighting, ADAS, and an automatic parking brake with auto hold. The automaker expects that the launch of these revised models will help it gain ground in the fiercely competitive Indian mid-size SUV market. The facelifted Harrier and Safari bookings are currently open for a token amount of Rs 25,000. Last month, the revised iterations of the Tata Nexon and the Nexon EV were rolled out by the homegrown carmaker in the Indian market. Let's take a look at what the 2023 Harrier has to offer to those looking to buy a new feature-loaded SUV.
