Tata Harrier Adventure X Variant Launched: What’s New, Price, Key Highlights

Tata Motors has introduced a new variant in the Harrier SUV lineup called the Tata Harrier Adventure X, priced at ₹18.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned between the Pure X and Fearless trims, this version aims to offer a wider set of features without pushing the SUV into a higher price bracket. The variant is available for bookings and deliveries starting immediately.

The Safari Adventure X+ variant was also launched alongside the Tata Harrier Adventure X, with a starting price of ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom), offering a similar feature list but in a three-row configuration.

Tata Harrier Adventure X – Exterior Design

The Tata Harrier Adventure X carries over the core design of the Harrier platform. Built on the OMEGARC architecture that traces its origins to Land Rover’s D8 platform, the SUV retains its upright stance and high driving position. The Adventure X variant features 17-inch alloy wheels, while the body proportions and character lines remain unchanged.

The side profile features the typical Harrier design. However, there are no additional cosmetic changes exclusive for this variant that significantly alter the vehicle’s exterior from a design standpoint.

Tata Harrier Adventure X – Interior Design and Features

Inside the cabin, the Tata Harrier Adventure X comes with a black-on-tan interior theme, which Tata refers to as “Onyx Trail.” The upholstery uses black leatherette materials with tan highlights across the dashboard and seating areas.

A key addition in this variant is the dual-screen setup. The infotainment screen measures 10.25 inches, and the digital instrument cluster is also of the same size, offering a symmetrical and more modern layout. Other notable features include a powered driver’s seat with memory and welcome functions, automatic climate control, and a panoramic sunroof depending on the transmission selected.

A 360-degree camera system is also included for better visibility in tight spaces, and there are USB charging ports for front and rear occupants. The system is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Tata Harrier Adventure X – Engine and Powertrain

Under the hood, the Harrier Adventure X is powered by the same 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel engine that is available across the lineup. It produces 170 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Though the Harrier remains a front-wheel-drive SUV, Tata has added features aimed at enhancing drivability in varied terrain. These include multiple drive modes—City, Sport, and Eco—alongside surface response modes such as Normal, Rough, and Wet. The variant also comes with a hill hold function and an electronic parking brake with auto hold, both of which are standard on the automatic version.

Tata Harrier Adventure X – Safety

The Adventure X variant includes several safety features that are usually available on higher-end trims. These include six airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, and hill descent control.

The automatic version of the Adventure X also receives Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features such as adaptive cruise control. Other safety enhancements include automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and a surround-view camera system to assist with parking and tight maneuvers.

The Tata Harrier holds a 5-star safety rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP (BNCAP), reinforcing its safety credentials.

Tata Harrier Adventure X – Market Positioning and Rivals

By pricing the Harrier Adventure X at ₹18.99 lakh, Tata Motors is targeting buyers looking for a mid-range SUV that does not compromise on safety or technology. This pricing undercuts some variants of the Mahindra XUV700 and MG Hector, both of which offer similar levels of equipment in higher trims.

The Harrier Adventure X also acts as a bridge between entry-level variants like the Pure X and more expensive options like the Fearless X+. It does not aim to be the top-tier offering but instead caters to customers looking for a combination of technology and utility without entering the ₹22 lakh segment.

From a market perspective, this variant could attract buyers looking for a practical diesel SUV with added convenience and modern cabin tech. However, the absence of all-wheel-drive, even in this persona aimed at ‘adventure’, continues to be a limiting factor for off-road enthusiasts.
