Tata Harrier Facelift Smart, Pure, Adventure, and Fearless Variants Explained: Which One Should You Pick?

After a series of teasers, we finally got our first look at the India-bound Tata Harrier Facelift. From what we have seen, it seems that the updates to the Harrier Facelift's interior are as comprehensive as its exterior. The new Harrier, however, remains mechanically unchanged. It continues with the 168bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox, sending power to the front wheels. The manual gearbox is standard on all variants, while the automatic gearbox is offered from the Adventure Plus variant onwards. The facelifted version is available in four trim levels – Smart, Pure, Adventure, and Fearless. What's more, these trims also get optional packages, denoted by '+' and 'A' suffixes. Set to be launched in the coming weeks alongside the Safari facelift, the 2023 Tata Harrier will also get the Dark Edition treatment. Bookings for the Harrier Facelift are underway for a token amount of Rs 25,000.
