The Tata Harrier SUV crosses the 10,000 sales mark in India. In celebration of the milestone, the company has introduced the SUV in dual tone colours - Orange with Black and White with Black. and the prices for the dual tone colour scheme start at Rs 16.76 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi.

Other than this, the SUV remains unchanged. Notable features on the Harrier are LED DRLs, HID xenon headlamps, cornering fog lamps, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, leather upholstery, leather trimmed steering wheel, climate control, an 8.8-inch infotainment system with nine JBL speakers, a reversing camera, cruise control, keyless entry and go and an 8-way adjustable driver's seat. The Harrier gets a 7-inch digital display on the instrument cluster as well.

Under the Harrier's hood is the FCA-sourced 2.0-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine, dubbed Kryotec by Tata Motors. It has been detuned in the interest of better fuel efficiency (Tata Motors has not revealed the Harrier's claimed fuel efficiency figure yet). The engine offers 140PS in this guise, unlike the 173PS it offers in the Compass, though the torque output for the Harrier is identical at 350Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and this is the only engine-gearbox combination on offer currently, and while an automatic transmission is expected, there is no timeline for that yet. Dual airbags and ABS with EBD are standard safety equipment.

The Tata Harrier rivals the Jeep Compass, Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks and the Renault Captur.
