Personally I like the stance of the Harrier here. Happy to have booked one on 15th of Oct 2018.
Tata should have a winner by the looks itself in mass market. Hope the reviews will match the hype.

A really good-looking SUV. Tata has pulled off a difficult design very well. This could have very easily gone very bad. Just hoping that there is an Auto+4WD version, despite all the rumors!

Harrier has turned out quite well indeed but then I was never in doubt. Tata’s been smashing lately. Now waiting for the test drive reports to come out. If this drives as well as it looks then its a relative bargain at the speculated prices. All the best Tata.

Surprised Tata could not get a clean example for this photo though.

Bit of playing with the image. Car looks beautiful and unique.

It does look quite amazing. Now only if they can surprise us with an AT in the top variant, against all rumours. Hoping they have the courage to do this and not hide behind the launch price logic.

Spot on - I looked at the previous gen discovery this morning and felt a slight inspiration in the design cues.

As for the size, I would say somewhere CRVish size but the front is a bit huge and will feel humongous when viewed in person.

So, is GTO going to be in Rajasthan next week or not? Just saw a tweet from Bunny Punia @cartoq saying he will be there.

You hijacked my question buddy I was just going to ask if GTO & mods are driving the Harrier next week because I saw an update from Autocar as well. I’m excited to see the outcome of the quick media drive.

Mods to answer the request

I really love the overall stance of Harrier and i am sure that mechanically it is a brilliant package as well given the progress seen in recent Tata vehicles and this one being based on discovery sport platform (?).

But, i still feel that if headlight design and positioning had been traditional, it would make the vehicle look even more handsome and appealing!

I can confidently state that Team-BHP will be suitably represented by atleast 2 of our best Auto Reviewers out there. In the past few Tata launches we have seen at least 2 of our dear Mods attending on the very first day of the Media Drives.

Tata had split the Hexa experience drives similarly- first the print media, then the online media and finally the VLoggers and other Social Media Auto enthusiasts.

Requesting our Mods to share a quick short review the moment the embargo (which may be until 7th Afternoon) is lifted.

Wow that looks wonderfully different than the rest. TATA's design team deserves an applause for churning out great designs one after another

Hope it drives as good as it looks and all comparisons to the smaller Creta are put to rest. Wishing TATA all the best

How long is the embargo applicable, any idea?

Any guesstimates as to pricing?
Possibly in the early-mid 20’s do you think? So as to murder the Compass?

Since the Harrier won't have an AWD or an AT, I highly doubt on-road pricing for the manual will be anything more than 16-17 lakh.
