Initially, the Tata Harrier will arrive as an five-seater SUV. Later in 2020, the car will get a seven-seater version. Expect the SUV to be available at a starting price of Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom). So far, this is going to be a very important product for the automaker, as it has been aiming to grab more market share in the Indian market and SUVs have been doing pretty well here just like the rest of the world market.
Tata H5X comes styled following the automaker’s latest Impact 2.0 design language and it also took inputs from Jaguar Land Rover designers.
