The Tata Harrier has been a game-changer for Tata Motors as the model helped Tata Motors attract more premium customers. This not only improved the overall profits but also helped Tata Motors with its brand image.
That being said, in recent years, Tata Motors have gained a reputation as one of the brands that does not compromise with safety and build quality of their vehicles. Now, one such accident involving a Tata Harrier reiterates that reputation.
According to the video on YouTube, the Tata Harrier in question was travelling at high speeds (130km/h). When the driver saw a cow on the highway, the driver swerved the SUV to avoid a collision with the cow and hit a railing on the highway before hitting the tree.
The accident happened on a highway in Gujarat and in the accident, the front portion of the Tata Harrier SUV seems to have been completely destroyed. However, despite the severity of the accident, no one in the Tata Harrier was hurt and everyone was safe.
Recently, Tata Motors announced that the Tata Harrier SUV has reached 1 lakh unit sales milestone in India. Also, the company is currently working on the upcoming facelifted version of the Harrier SUV.
Coming to the powertrain, the Tata Harrier SUV comes with a BS6 Phase 2-compliant 2.0-litre, turbocharged, 4-cylinder, diesel engine with 168bhp of power and 350Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
At present, prices for the Tata Harrier SUV starts from Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base ‘XE’ variant, and goes all the way up to Rs 24.06 lakh (ex-showroom) for the XZA+O Red Dark variant.’
The Tata Harrier was launched back in January 2019, and over the years the model has gained a positive reputation for its build quality. The video of the recent accident involving the Tata Harrier SUV can be viewed as a testament to its build quality.
