It’s been around a year now since we first saw the test mules of the Tata Harrier facelift on the road. Even in 2023, the updated SUV has been spotted on test quite a few times, with the latest test mule revealing interesting details and the design appears to be a closer-to-production version.
What Was Seen?
The Harrier facelift’s test mule, although still covered in heavy camouflage, gave us a look at its updated front. We can spot similarities with that of the new Nexon and Nexon EV, including sleek LED DRLs (probably connected by a lighting element in between) and a split-headlight setup. The latest spy shot also gives us a peek at the updated SUV’s vertically stacked LED headlights.
While the SUV’s side and rear profiles weren’t clicked, previous sightings have confirmed that it will get a fresh design for the alloy wheels, connected LED taillights, and dynamic turn indicators.
Cabin Updates In Plenty
Tata will also revamp the cabin of the Harrier, with tweaks likely coming in the form of a redesigned dashboard and a new two-spoke steering wheel with the backlit Tata logo. A recent test mule sighting also revealed a bigger touchscreen system as prevalent on Land Rover SUVs, which is a 13.1-inch unit. However, it could be the 12.3-inch unit debuted in the top-spec Tata Nexon EV. Other expected features include a fully digital driver’s display, wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats, and push-button start/stop.
Occupant safety is likely to be taken care of by six airbags, electronic stability programme (ESP), 360-degree camera, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Petrol Engine On The Cards Too
The Harrier facelift is expected to get a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (170PS/280Nm). It could be offered with manual and DCT automatic transmissions.
On the other hand, the SUV’s existing 2-litre diesel unit (170PS/350Nm) is likely to be retained. It should continue with its 6-speed manual and automatic transmission options.
Launch And Price
We expect the carmaker to roll out the facelifted Harrier in the early part of next year. It will likely command a nominal premium over the existing model, which is priced from Rs 15.20 lakh to Rs 24.27 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The Tata Harrier facelift will go up against the Mahindra XUV700, MG Hector, Jeep Compass, and the higher variants of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
