Tata Motors has confirmed that they are going to launch the highly anticipated Harrier SUV in India on the 23rd of January this year. The launch of the Harrier will mark the beginning of a new Era for the homegrown automaker. There have been rumours that this SUV will not remain exclusive to India but will be a global product for the brand. The automaker has so far made no official statements in this regard.

The test mule seen in the images is of the Tata Harrier and it seems that this unit is clearly a pre-production iteration as it adorns a heavy camouflage and rudimentary head-lights and tail-light set-up.
