Tata Motors has re-entered the South African market with four new products – Tiago, Curvv, Punch and Harrier
In this post, we take a look at what a South African reviewer has to say about the made-in-India Tata Harrier. We know that the Indian automobile giant has entered the SA passenger car market again after halting operations back in 2019. It continued to sell commercial vehicles. However, as the Indian products get popular in many export markets around the globe, Tata wants to give the South African market another go. For now, let us take a look at the details of what a car expert thinks about the Harrier.
South African Media Reviews Tata Harrier
The video stems from Cars.co.za on YouTube. The host starts with the driving impressions. He feels that the Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine (170 PS and 350 Nm of peak power and torque) is quite smooth and refined. Also, it possesses enough power for highway rides and overtaking. The 6-speed automatic transmission adds convenience in city traffic. In terms of styling, he appreciates the stance and modern elements like the LED light bar at the front, sporty alloy wheels with prominent wheel arches and connected LED taillamp.
On the inside, the host finds the cabin reasonably modern and tech-laden. This includes the touchscreen infotainment system, JBL audio system, Amazon Alexa support, multiple USB ports, digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, touch-operated HVAC controls, soft-touch materials on the centre console, 360-degree camera, 7 airbags, Level 2 ADAS, spacious second row seating, window blinds, rear USB charging ports, a massive 445-litre boot compartment, and much more.
Price
The Tata Harrier starts at R549,900 for the base Pure+ trim and goes all the way up to R699,900 for the top Fearless+ variant. Furthermore, the SUV comes with a 5-year/125,000 km warranty and a 5-year/75,000 km service plan. Finally, the host says that he probably would not opt for the Tata Harrier despite its offerings because there are some pretty worthy rivals like Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, etc. Still, he feels like Tata has done many things right with the Harrier.
