This is a well-researched and exclusive content present on MotorOctane. Find excusive details about Tata Harrier 2020 below.

1) Platform updates

The Tata Harrier was launched last year and took the market by storm. If enticed the consumers and auto journalists all over the country. This car also received MotorOctane’s award for Best medium-sized Premium vehicle.  Talking about the 2020 model we will be focusing on the new platform.  Tata Harrier has Omega Arc as its platform.

Now a simple question may arise in your mind thinking what a platform is? To put it simply a platform is the bare bones of the car. It is the foundation base of any vehicle just like a building. If your core structure itself is weak, you cannot improve the quality of the car.  Driving Dynamics, Performance, Handling and Safety are directly impacted by the car’s platform.

This same platform (ΩArch) is present on Land Rover Discovery Sport.  Both Tata and Land Rover engineers have made this platform working together. For those new here, Tata Motor owns Land Rover. 

2) Design Elements

The car is perfectly designed from all the different angles. The stance of the vehicle is impressive and won’t provide you with room to complain.  Dimensions of this car is quite similar to the Discovery Sport.  Driving a Tata Harrier provides you with the closest experience to driving a Land Rover.  The body proportions too are quite similar to the Land Rover. 

3) Performance

Land Rover cars are known for their performance and reliability owing to their strong platform.  Tata Harrier like the Discovery Sport gives you the freedom of “GO anywhere” attitude. Harrier is a few of the true performance SUVs.  Tata has rigorously tested the car and drove it for 22 lakh kilometre. The testing range may very solve all your doubts.  You also get Normal, Wet and Rough modes to choose from via the ESP.

You get 14 ESP modes in the Tata Harrier 2020. Tata Harrier’s rival to be precise only offers 1 ESP mode.  This shows Tata’s focus and mission.  The suspension of this car is made great too and performs very well both on-road and off-road along with superb handling. Talking about raw performance you get a 2.0-litre engine which produces around 170bhp with a 6-speed manual/automatic transmission. You also get Sport, City and Eco driving modes to choose from.  

4) Reliability

Put in simple words, Reliability means the quality of being trustworthy and performing consistently.  Tata Harrier checks both the boxes and is often ignored by consumers.  Land Rover has perfected the Discovery Sport over the years, adding perfection to the car day by day and kilometre after kilometre. Similarly Tata Harrier gets the advantage of Land Rover’s engineers who have worked on the Discovery Sport perfecting it. Tata has maintained the quality of the platform and has still made the car far more affordable.  Fit and Finish of both the cars are quite similar.  You get to trust the product and not depend on the brand name for once. 

5. Safety

Tata Motors is the company which has provided safety features in all their cars in the Indian market. You can talk about Tiago, Tigor, Nexon, Altroz and Harrier. All have outperformed their rivals by a significant percentage in terms of safety.  The Harrier’s platform is rigid and strong and gives you complete peace of mind.

High strength steel, crumple zone and a lot of other safety terms are quite similar in both Harrier and Discovery Sport.  You also get 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, 14 ESP modes, parking sensors are all part of the package.  All Tata cars have scored 4-5 stars rating in the Global NCAP safety test, well above the average 2-star rating.  

6. Pride of Ownership

There is nothing comparable to the feeling of owning a ‘Made in India’ product.  You get a high seating position with Land Rover accents to it in the Harrier. It just feels like driving a Land Rover within a budget. This car is made purely from SUV origin.  You will always love the car and smile while driving it.
