The Kryotec motor is equipped with an Advanced EGR to meet stringent emission requirements and the Harrier will also get an exhaust after-treatment system. The 2.0-litre engine is also coupled with an electric variable geometry turbocharger (eVGT) and will produce 140 bhp in the five-seater harrier while will be tuned to produce 170 bhp in the seven-seater version. This engine will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard while a Hyundai sourced six-speed automatic will also be on offer.
Like the Hexa, even the Harrier will get multi-drive modes which will be coupled with a terrain response system. The new flagship SUV will also debut Tata's new IMPACT 2.0 design language that future Tata models based on the OMEGA and the Architecture Modular Platform (AMP) will also carry. On the inside, the Harrier is expected to feature a floating infotainment display and a digital instrument cluster.
