Other features include a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, dual-zone auto AC, ventilated and powered front seats, panoramic sunroof, multi-colour ambient lighting, a wireless phone charger, a 9-speaker JBL sound system, and a powered tailgate.

Apart from the new features, the Harrier petrol also gets a new white and brown dual-tone interior colour scheme and a sliding armrest. In Safari, you get a new white and gold interior theme, which gives a more premium effect inside. In Safari, too, you now get a sliding armrest.

Exterior And Interior Tweaks
