Tata Harrier has consistently impressed Indian SUV lovers since its debut, and the 2025 model takes the game a step forward. With its commanding design, powerful diesel engine, advanced features, and improved safety suite, the new Harrier sets a high benchmark in the premium mid-size SUV segment. Designed on Tata’s OmegaArc platform, which is derived from Land Rover’s D8 architecture, the Harrier combines international engineering with Indian sensibilities.
Let’s dive into what makes the Tata Harrier 2025 a compelling SUV for families, off-roaders, and tech-savvy drivers alike.
Bold and Refined Exterior
The Tata Harrier 2025 features a refreshed exterior that maintains its strong and muscular stance while adding contemporary design tweaks. The front fascia is now sharper with a more prominent grille, sleeker LED DRLs, and updated bi-functional LED projector headlamps. The large air dam and new bumper design enhance its road presence.
The side profile remains rugged with flared wheel arches, 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and a strong shoulder line running across the body. At the rear, connected LED tail lamps with dynamic turn indicators give the SUV a premium and futuristic feel. New color options like Oberon Black and Sunlit Gold add flair to the design.
Premium and Tech-Loaded Cabin
Inside the Harrier 2025, Tata has truly elevated the cabin experience. The dashboard features soft-touch materials, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and a spacious layout with a dual-tone color scheme. The centerpiece is a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, accompanied by a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster.
The cabin is designed for comfort with ventilated front seats, an electrically adjustable driver seat with memory function, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and a 9-speaker JBL audio system that delivers immersive sound quality.
Rear passengers enjoy ample legroom, a center armrest with cup holders, rear AC vents, and sunshades, making it a solid choice for long family road trips.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Tata Harrier 2025 is powered by the proven 2.0-litre Kryotec turbocharged diesel engine producing 170 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. It comes paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
The engine is responsive and refined, offering strong low-end torque, perfect for both city commutes and highway cruising. The automatic variant offers a smoother drive, while the manual variant caters to those who prefer greater control.
Tata has also improved noise insulation, ensuring a quieter and more refined cabin experience. Multiple drive modes — Eco, City, and Sport — along with terrain response modes like Wet, Rough, and Normal, allow drivers to adapt the SUV’s performance based on road conditions.
Safety First: Built Like a Tank
Safety is a strong focus in the 2025 Tata Harrier. The SUV is built on a rigid monocoque chassis and comes equipped with a suite of advanced safety features including:
- 6 airbags (standard across all variants)
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) including:
- Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- 360-degree camera
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Harrier has earned a solid reputation for build quality, and with these upgrades, it’s one of the safest SUVs in its category.
Variants and Pricing
Tata offers the Harrier 2025 in several well-equipped variants: Smart, Pure, Adventure, Fearless, and Dark Editions, each catering to different preferences and budgets.
The ex-showroom price ranges from approximately ₹15.49 lakh to ₹25.49 lakh, depending on the variant and transmission choice. For those seeking a bold aesthetic, the Harrier Dark Edition remains a popular choice thanks to its all-black theme and stealthy styling.
Fuel Efficiency and Practicality
Despite its size and power, the Harrier is fairly efficient. The manual variant returns a fuel economy of around 16.5 km/l, while the automatic offers about 14.6 km/l under mixed driving conditions.
The boot capacity of 445 liters (expandable to 810 liters with rear seats folded) makes it practical for weekend getaways, and the high ground clearance (205 mm) ensures it handles rough terrain with ease.

With its premium features, robust safety tech, and confident performance, the Harrier is ideal for families, explorers, and urban professionals who want more from their SUV.
