It will come with cosmetic revisions, a panoramic sunroof, and a BS6-compliant 170PS diesel engine. Tata has revealed details of the AT variants of the upcoming model. Here are five things you need to know about it:

Cosmetic Revisions - New Design? 

The 2020 Tata Harrier will come with a host of cosmetic upgrades. Highlights include new machine-finished 17-inch alloy wheels and a new Calypso Red colour. Further, Tata has redesigned the Harrier's outer rearview mirrors to make them more aerodynamic. 

Feature Updates - More Appealing? 

The 2020 Tata Harrier will come with new features to make it more appealing. Some of these include a panoramic sunroof, 6-way powered driver seat with adjustable lumbar support, and an auto-dimming IRVM. All of these variants will be standard on the top-spec XZA+ and XZ+ trims. Features like an 8.8-inch infotainment system, climate control, JBL sound system, drive modes and a 7-inch multi-info display will be retained. 

Engine - More Power? 

The Tata Harrier BS6 will utilise the existing 2.0-litre Kryotec Diesel engine, albeit uprated to develop more power. Called the Kryotec 170, it puts out 170PS of power, making it 30PS more powerful than the current motor. However, the torque rating has not been disclosed and is likely to remain at 350Nm.

Tata will also address the Harrier’s Achilles heel with the new model - the lack of an automatic gearbox. The 2020 SUV's 6-speed automatic transmission is sourced from Hyundai.

Considering the updates, the 2020 Harrier could start from Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom). When launched, it will renew its rivalry with the MG Hector and Mahindra XUV500.
