Start with what the Tata Harrier is: a 5-door SUV with ubl, built from 2019, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Pratap Bose (pre-facelift) / Martin Uhlarik (facelift).

The background

The Tata Harrier is a five-seater, diesel-engined compact crossover SUV produced by the Indian automaker Tata Motors. It was launched in Indian market on 23 January 2019 and is positioned between the subcompact Tata Nexon and the mid-size Tata Safari.

The engineering

The engine is ubl; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Drive goes through a 6-speed manual / 6-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2741 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
