I am not convinced that this is 7 Seater prototype. This old H5X spy photo from Autocar indicates similar profile.

This is likely to be the 7 seater. Look at the extended glass area between B & C pillars and the extra overhang at the rear bumper.
If it is indeed 7 seater and if this can be launched in 1st half of 2019, it will be a very good move by Tata and they can a capture huge spectrum of SUV buyers. Start with the 5 seater basic model at 15 lakh on-road (pull away even Brezza, Ecosport buyers) and end it with 7 seater, fully loaded (Sunroof, 6 airbags, AWD....) at 25 lakh on-road (Bangalore prices). Combined units of 10000+ per month guaranteed . Go for it TATA!

I wish oh I wish they do that and then they would completely redefine the SUV space in India. It will be a revolution and a new age. They should go for a 4x4 with low range,differential locking and all the works to show the mettle of a Tata brand from the age of the Sierra and the Safari reborn with a vengeance.

I believe 5 seater customizable Harrier with the following:

To start at 11.99 L.

You then start adding options which will come in packages:

- Luxury Package
- Sports Package
- Technology Trend Package
I suppose TATA could just do that. They did talk of customisation options which would be more than just choosing accessories. As far as pricing is concerned, the XUV retails at 12.5 ex showroom. I expect the Harrier to begin lower than that. If this succeeds, they can price H7X above the XUV. So Harrier > Hexa > H7X. Whatever it is, it's going to be interesting

A high level official in Tata told me that:

1. Harrier will be made on the same assembly line as Jeep Compass
2. A critical item required for Diesel version is yet to be finalized

This should mean that they are producing Petrol versions now

The First harrier was rolled out from the Pune plant. Not Ranjangaon where the Compass is made.

He meant the same assembly line in terms of component/materials quality that would result in same quality as that of Compass

Well, according to the video that was released recently, the assembly line was newly set up in just six month and automated to as much as 80 percentage. So, I don't know why we are talking about it, let alone worrying about it.

re: Tata H5X Concept @ Auto Expo 2018. Named Tata Harrier! EDIT: Launched @ Rs. 12.69 lakhs

There's an interesting aspect to the Harrier vis-a-vis the Jeep Compass. There's is an alarmingly large number of low mileage Compasses in the used car markets in almost all major cities now.

The odo readings range from ~5000 to ~15000 KMs, which points to a potentially large percentage of Compass owners who are dissatisfied for some reason. Can't remember any other recent well-received launches that had so many new cars in the used market in such a shot time period.

If that's taken as an indicator of where things are, the Harrier can get a significant number of the existing Compass owners to switch. So there is good reason for Tata to price the Harrier under the Compass and if the overall experience addresses issues Compass owners are having, it will be be really bad news for Jeep.

Sorry I don't know the full context of this statement and I may be going off the topic, but just wanted to say that 'assembly' line alone doesn't decide the quality. Quality is decided by how various components are designed, engineered and manufactured (and with what material grade). There cannot be any 'bad' or 'good' way of assembling (unless they forget to tighten the nuts and bolts ).

Totally agree. I just summarized the discussion that I had that may or may not have captured the gist of the conversation.

I thought of putting it out as an information from a reliable source for whatever its worth

Just curious about how you arrived at this conclusion?

I just searched the same on OLX and only found 33 listings pan India.

On Cartrade. I have no idea how do people use OLX to search for anything. They have such a terrible user experience.
