Tata Harrier, my booking experience so far

Preferable color :- Black with black interiors
Preferable safety features :- 2+ airbags, ABS, EBD, Reverse Camera (Omission of speed chimes)
Preferable combo :- Diesel + Auto box (Hyundai AT is fine with me and was what confirmed by the sales guy)

No information available at dealership level to add to the ones available on forum.
The online bookings commence from today the 15th of October.
Aadhar card and Pan card mandatory to put down the deposit.

This is the only variance I've come across so far :-

Booking amount - Rs 11,000/-
Hyson motors, Thrissur, Kerala
(No mention of a tracking number)

Booking amount - Rs 30,000-
Trivandrum Motors, Trivandrum, Kerala
(Will be given a tracking number)

Tata is also pushing for Showroom revamp before the Harrier launch.
There is a dedicated backend at dealerships just for the Harrier booking enquiries.

Having more open glass on the rear side would have made it look more substantial ? The design is quite good but makes it appear a little smaller and also trying too much from design point of view.
If the build quality matches Tata have a winner but I dont expect it to be a run-away winner since they will need to struggle in improving perception.

Congratulations Brishti.

Harrier is some thing very promising, its prompting me to think of replacing my Punto...

Just called Concorde Motors , Baner (Pune), and they said that the booking amount is fully refundable without any cancellation charges. The representative also said that lot of people are booking it already, so delivery may happen at March-April slot (not sure this is true or not)

Dealerships usually get all the details on features / variants during their product training which is 15-30 days ahead of the launch. Team-bhp, Autocar and some other mags usually get the details before the dealers.

So far what I have seen is, when the dealer takes a booking before the launch, they do a full refund. Cancellation charges are when the vehicles are launched and when the car is dispatched etc. But then you always have exceptions. Anyone booking now should be eligible for a full refund - be firm on it please.

Looks cool in the orange shade. Should have dual tone shades as well.
This looks true to the concept H5X.

Got a call from customer care who confirmed the booking is refundable
Upon asking if dealers have more info, he replied in the negative

Wonder when the sales / service folks will go in for training.

The TEAM-BHP Scoop of the Harrier is all over Twitter / SM.

So for the first time in our family, we have made a deposit for a car that is still few months away from launch and without any information about the variant/colour etc. Online booking experience was very smooth.

Let's now wait for Tata to deliver on the promise.

Here is my booking confirmation from TATA Motors.

After supreme court's judgement, I thought mandating Aadhar Card for anything other than government services (that too only those covered under section 7) is illegal.

I have booked the Harrier today morning by paying the amount at Concorde motors (Baner), Pune! Was informed by the sales guys that deliveries might be stretched to march-april, but I think this is just them playing it safe right now. I was informed that almost 3-4 people made their bookings (payment) yesterday itself! Well, now the wait starts. Hoping for the best!

[sainyamk95]

Wow, that was a loooong wait.

Yeah, it seems a bit underwhelming after all the speculation. My only real problem is, why that chrome bar between the C- and D-pillars?!

Tata has kept their promise of remaining true to the concept and almost kept the same silhouette .
The rear seems to have been toned down to give a more cleaner look. The rear reflectors are placed quite high & wide.
Can't make out much of the front from this angle other than the headlight/DRL cluster. Overall a very fresh looking design language
