Harrier Pickup Concept As Next-Gen Xenon
This image has been designed by abin_designs_511 on its Instagram page. The front fascia is completely borrowed by Harrier but the LED DRLs are much slimmer, the actual headlamp cluster has been given an angular treatment that looks aggressive and an aluminium skid plate has been added. However, the most prominent element is the upgradation of massive off-roading tyres that are painted black to impose the SUV’s road presence. The third quarter has been eliminated and a cargo compartment has been added to confirm the pickup truck pattern.
The wheel arches are massive with black body cladding and wheel arch covers. The sides also feature a chrome belt surrounding the windowline. An extended tow hook or bumper protection rod is also visible towards the rear of the pickup truck. Essentially, it has been converted into a lifestyle pickup truck that is becoming increasingly popular these days among the off-road enthusiasts who want something for everyday use too. The bright orange colour suits the uniqueness of the Harrier inspire Xenon further.
