Tata Harrier Dark Edition Becomes More Affordable With New Mid-Spec Variants!

Tata has introduced the Harrier Dark Edition on the mid-spec XT and XT+ variants, thus dropping the entry price of the Dark Edition by a whopping Rs 1.35 lakh, making it a lot more accessible to the buyers.

The Dark Edition of the Tata Harrier is arguably one of the most alluring variants in the lineup but one that you do not see on the roads so often. Well, that’s because Tata Motors have kept the Dark Edition limited to only the top-spec XZ and XZ+ variants of the Harrier. Now Tata Motors has made the stealthy looking Dark Edition a little more affordable by offering it on the mid-spec XT ands XT+ variants. Here’s a look at the revised price list of Tata Harrier range.

Prior to this update, the Dark Edition was offered exactly on the variants on which the dual-tone color options were also offered – XZ, XZ+, XZA and XZA+. Now, although Tata is offering the Dark Edition additionally on the mid-spec XT and XT+ variants, they haven’t done the same for the dual-tone variants. As for the Dark Edition itself, it is now a whole Rs 1.35 lakh cheaper with the XT variant as opposed to the previous Rs 17.85 lakh entry point with the XZ variant.

It’s also worth pointing out that the XT and XT+ Dark Edition variants cost Rs 10,000 more than their standard counterparts. In comparison, the XZ and XZ+ variants command a premium of Rs 20,000 over the monotone variants of the Harrier. As a matter of fact, the XT+ variant is also a recent addition in the Harrier lineup which was launched sometime ago for an introductory price of Rs 16.99 lakh. The introductory price period is over and now the XT+ variant is priced at Rs 17.20 lakh for standard monotone variant.

Nothing has changed with regard to the Harrier Dark Edition though. To give you a quick recap, the Harrier Dark Edition comes painted in a stealthy black shade and all the chrome trims from the standard SUV also get the gloss black treatment. Even the faux silver skid plate and the alloy wheels get the blacked-out treatment. There’s however a single chrome trim above the window line to create some contrast. The black theme also continues on the inside withall-black upholstery. Even the wooden trim on the dashboard is replaced by a glossy silver trim and it looks pretty neat.

In terms of equipment, it gets all the features from the standard XT and XT+ variants. That includes a 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, auto climate control, cruise control, drive modes, halogen projector headlamps with LED DRLs, keyless entry with push button start, auto headlamps and wipers and a panoramic sunroof (XT+ only). Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, hill hold control and traction control.

Under the hood, the Harrier is powered by a 2.0L diesel engine that produces 170PS and 350Nm of torque. You only get the option of a 6-speed manual gearbox on the XT and XT+ variants. Higher-spec Dark Edition variants also get the option of a 6-speed torque converter automatic. With the Dark Edition Harrier getting a lot more affordable now, perhaps we will see much more of them on the road now.
