The Tata Harrier SUV has been making the headlines, whether it’s because of its pricing, its looks or just the features it offers, the Harrier has certainly made a splash in the Indian automotive pond. However, Tata Motors has taken it a step further by adding an ‘Imaginator’ to the Harrier micro-site. This feature allows potential buyers to configure the SUV according to their taste. Users can choose to preview how the Harrier looks in the four variants provided by Tata Motors, namely the XE, XM, XT and XZ. As far as features go, the XZ, which is the top variant, gets chrome detailing, 17-inch alloys, leather seats and the 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The base variant, XE, as standard, gets wheels covers, a single-tone interior and is only available in Orcus White.
Just above the base variant is the XM trim, which gets front fog lamps, electronic mirror adjustment, remote-controlled central locking, driving modes (Eco, City and Sports) along with a rear wiper and washer. Steering-mounted controls and the 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and six speakers are also present here. The next trim on the list, which is the XT, takes it up a notch with the inclusion of 17-inch alloy wheels, interior wood finish, eight-speaker sound system, rear defogger, reversing camera, engine/start stop button, automatic climate control, electronically folding mirror, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control and Apple CarPlay & Android Auto compatibility.
The Harrier ‘Imaginator’ also allows potential customers to get a glimpse of how the official accessories look on the Tata’s newest SUV in India. The list of accessories include chrome embellishments, roof rails, side steps, mood lighting and interior mats. However, it’s important to note that the prices of the added accessories on the online configurator does not include the labour and installation charges. Once the Harrier has been customised according to a buyer’s needs, it can be booked online, but once again, this may take a bit of time as reports suggest that there is already a waiting of three months for the Harrier.

At the front, the car gets dual tone bumper with satin silver chin guard, xenon HID projector headlamps and dual function LED DRLs with turn indicators.
