Striking Exterior Design
The Harrier Dark Edition showcases a bold and modern design from every angle.
Front Profile Highlights
At the front, a large Tata logo is prominently displayed in the center. The car features a 360-degree camera, with a clear placement for its lens. Connected Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) provide a distinct look. These DRLs are dual-functional, working as both DRLs and indicators. Below, you’ll find an LED projector automatic headlamp setup and fog lamp placement. The front bumper includes two parking sensors, a black lower grille, and a sturdy engine guard protecting the front engine and suspension setup. The Harrier Dark Edition offers a ground clearance of 205 mm, enhancing its muscular appeal.
Side Profile Features
Moving to the side, the Harrier is equipped with dual wipers and hand washers. These are rain-sensing wipers, similar to the automatic headlamps. The vehicle also boasts a panoramic sunroof and roof rails. The robust 19-inch alloy wheels add to its strong stance. For braking, disc brakes are present on all four wheels (front and rear). The tires are radial, with a profile of 4545/ 55R 19 inches. Black cladding runs along the side, and a #Dark badging is visible, along with Harrier branding. The Outside Rear View Mirrors (ORVMs) are auto-foldable, folding and unfolding when the car is locked or unlocked. A 360-degree camera is integrated into the ORVM, and request sensors are also provided. The running boards feature a matte black finish. The warranty for this vehicle is 3 years or 1 lakh km, which can be extended for an additional charge.
Dynamic Rear Styling
The rear of the Harrier Dark Edition is equally impressive, featuring connected LED tail lights that significantly enhance its black profile. These tail lights also house the indicators, which blink brilliantly. A large Harrier badging is positioned below the lights. Other rear features include a reverse parking camera located below the logo, a rear wiper, a defogger, a high-mount stop lamp, and a shark fin antenna. An integrated spoiler adds to the sporty look. You might also spot a “Vocal for Local” sticker. Two reverse parking sensors, reflectors, and horizontal reverse lights complete the lower rear section. The spare tire is a normal steel rim, located underneath, and the exhaust pipe is on the left side.
