'Hyundai Transys' supplies 6AT to Hyundai Motor Group. I guess it would be the same for Tata.

The Harrier AT is sourced from Hyundai, so it must be the Hyundai Transys.

The Hexa had the GM Sourced unit which is the GM one.

We have two Hexa XTA cars and are extremely satisfied with them. We were in need of one more but with no Hexa around any more test drove the Harrier topend auto. As much as Harrier is awsome we simply could not find in it what we have come to love in Hexa the amazing ride quality and built like a tank feel. Harrier is great on its own but I wish and pray Tata brings an update of Hexa soon.

I too was surprised by the lack of activity on this thread but I now see things have warmed up alright.

I was infatuated with the H5X looks when it was first revealed at the auto expo. Later it being introduced as the Harrier ~ 90% true to its H5X concept looks made me euphoric (TATA barely gets appreciated for that). Cherry on top was its introductory pricing. Booked the XT silver on May 7th 2019 (Akshay Tritiya).

H7X (Buzzard/Cassini) showcased at the Geneva Motor Show 2019. Not that impressed. Ready to finalise the deal. For formality checked official Team BHP review! What?? It anguished me. Was too eager to bring the minotaur home. But sense prevailed, afterall its 20 big ones & I ought to live with it for the next 10 yrs atleast.

Next came the news that July updates sorted things quite a bit. Again amber light for me. But the news came of the BS6 automatic by the years end (in 4-5 months or so). Everyone on T-BHP advising others to wait for the auto & how Harrier would have set the sales chart on fire but for the auto. Probably I should wait too. Gotta check that out. Also sweet deal on the BS4 model? Good chance. Again red light! Diwali came, everyone in the house cursing me for an empty porch.

Holi 2020 looming. It has to be now or I'll be the 'Holika' this year. Offers on BS4 stock too...but what would those extra 30 horses on the BS6 feel like? he he he he...Red light brother. Red light, one last time. Holi came. Gone AWOL. Survived. Harrier BS6 auto reviews = prodigal son returns. Everyone's impressed. I ask (comment) on a great YT review video of 2020 Harrier (

https://youtu.be/INSy7F-PD0Y

) got the reply. (pinned comment on the video). So MANUAL it is for me. No automatic. Yes! (80% highway usage for me)

But around the same time I begin to get fond of TATA Gravitas. Love the enhanced presence, extra features, & surprisingly usable 3rd row in a relatively smaller footprint (

https://youtu.be/V1Q7QqcEj10

), all with the aspirational SUV looks (sorry Hexa). Just the colour scheme on it needs to be fixed & its presence is in Fortuner/Endeavor category for 20 odd lakhs. So Gravitas (manual) it is for Diwali 2020 probably. Ok then.

March 24 lockdown hits. Gravitas' launch postponed. That means new launch dates around Diwali(?) Means not enough reviews/feedback (including the official T-BHP) by Diwali? Means no steed for Diwali 2020 too? Apocalypse!

Seltos 2020? Creta 2020? : We are talking all men here. Sorry!

Hector/Hector Plus: Thanks to the owners. Will have someone to taunt at on the roads....

Been a long time since I posted anything on this thread. Lot has happened in the last three months!

So as the lurkers will remember, I had booked the Harrier Automatic within an hour of their opening up online booking way back in February. The delivery date was around March. Right one week before delivery, the lock-down stepped in and a new vehicle took the back seat. Its only in June that I decided to go ahead with the delivery, which is expected to be next week, fingers crossed.

My original booking was with Rudra Motors. They have been stellar throughout the entire period and have been in touch throughout the lockdown period. Special shout out to Sushmit who was the Sales Advisor.

That is when ram87pune got me in touch with Sridha Motors and it has completely reset the benchmark in how Sales should be done. I have not had to step out of my home during the entire booking process. Everything has been taken care of - including the bookings, loan process, choice number, accessories, PDI. We even did a video call when the car was delivered to the dealership yard this week.

While I am waiting for delivery, a BIG round of applause and thanks to ram87pune for patiently answering all my questions and invaluable advice during this time!
If it was not for TeamBhp, this would not have happened.

Congratulations and best of luck! It is indeed a very high value offering from TATA and it is a great choice in my opinion. Which color did you end up picking?

Also, may I ask - are there any incentives being offered? I heard of some generous exchange valuations and bonuses.

Congrats. Which colour did you choose? And any clue what the offers are on Harrier for the month of July?

Congratulations. It is indeed a great car. The autobox is really smooth and wishing you many miles on this.

I had also booked on the same day, but due to the pricing/covid, have cancelled my booking. Wish Tata had a better variant distribution on this one.

Currently waiting for the refund from the dealer.

And given the situation have made a trade down on the purchase and decided on the Creta 1.4 DCT.

Any reason for not choosing the seltos?

2 main reasons:

1. Panaromic sunroof (it just gives the cabin a special feel)
2. Electronic Parking brake with Autohold (great comfort in traffic of not holding on the brakes, specially for the DCT)

And some other reasons like paddle shifters, better pricing of SX DCT model compared to GTX+, (no GTX DCT now i think), Hyundai service centre very close to where I live (less than 500 m) compared to KIA service centre being relatively far.

Thank you all!

I have picked up the Red shade. Seems like the Red and the Black are selling like hot cakes.

I got 30K exchange bonus + 5K corporate discount and then some more on insurance due to NCB carried forward.

Congratulations on owning this beauty of a machine! It is my favorite in the segment and would have surely got it if I could.

Wishing lots of happy miles with the car. Looking forward for the pictures and your review of it.

Congrats. what variant and colour did you buy?

My story is similar since I had booked the Harrier AT in the month of April, but had to cancel my booking due to the extended lockdown. Have rebooked now and waiting for delivery, which hopefully should happen in a week or so. Car has been dispatched from the plant

mine is a white dual tone XZA.

Dare I say, this will form a beautiful complimentary vehicle to your 530i, and a worthy Ecosport replacement. Of course, you'll have to spend a bit more than expected but still...it's not abad option even in the XMA form, even though it is barebones variant. Just planting an ideA

After a LOT of haggling, my dealer has given me 30k off (no exchange bonus) and brought the insurance quote down from 80k to 57 k. Im still haggling for some basic accessories free, but I fear that the sales rep may stop taking my calls now
